SEBERANG PERAI, June 18 — Any subsidy rationalisation is certain to have flaws when it is first rolled out, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.Anwar, who is also finance minister, has had to fend off critics for the past week after his government removed a blanket diesel subsidy and introduced a targeted plan that aims to ensure specific demographic groups benefit and prevent the wealthy and smugglers from draining Malaysia’s resources.
He said detractors have been attacking the government for implementing the diesel rationalisation instead of giving constructive criticisms.He again defended the diesel subsidy rationalisation plan, urging people to look at the bigger issue of subsidies leaking to foreigners and foreign companies when they were meant for deserving Malaysians.He said those who deserve to get subsidies can apply for it.
“This meant that they have been benefiting from our diesel subsidies for decades, and not only them, there were foreign fishermen and others at the country’s borders,” he said.
