The M40 will not be excluded from the government’s new petrol subsidy scheme.
The government is experimenting with a new approach for fuel subsidies, so the M40 group won’t be left out.
The new petrol subsidy scheme was tested by the government last week, according to a message from Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul. The revised gasoline subsidy scheme will then be presented to the Cabinet for approval.
The new petrol subsidy method was also withheld by the finance minister because he believed that different regions may use it differently. People in some locations prefer to use cash because not all locations are compatible with petrol cards.
The government needs more time to experiment with the new petrol subsidy scheme, according to the finance minister, because it includes a lot of people and the government needs a better system.
