Lim noted that opposition parties, including the MCA, had initially opposed the introduction of the PSP, which was designed to reduce the cost of living, when it was first announced."When we want to do it, they oppose it. Now, when we want to postpone it to make further research before implementing it, they criticise us.
The PSP, which was scheduled to be implemented in Peninsular Malaysia on Jan 1, was meant to benefit 2.9 million people in the B40 group who are eligible for the Cost of Living Allowance. Cars with an engine capacity of 1,600cc and below are eligible for the petrol subsidy, while cars with an engine capacity above 1,600cc must be more than 1-year-old to be eligible.
