: The rationalisation of Malaysia’s diesel subsidy will have no impact on Thailand’s trucking industry, according to Apichart Prairungruang, President of the Land Transport Federation of Thailand.
He explained that even if Malaysia fully increases the price of diesel, it would still be lower than in Thailand. However, Apichart said the scheduled protest on July 3 has not yet been confirmed as July is the King’s birthday, and the federation does not want to do anything inappropriate while the country is preparing for the celebration.
He noted that the Land Transport Federation of Thailand and its affiliates petitioned the government on June 11, demanding permission to increase transport fees by 3.0-9.0 per cent for every one-baht rise in diesel prices above 30 baht per litre, but their demands have gone unheeded. Thai media also reported that this is not the first time truck drivers have staged protests in Bangkok.
