: The targeted diesel subsidy has not been implemented in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan not because of double standards or unfair treatment, but due to specific, valid reasons, emphasised the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.
“In Peninsular Malaysia, we have a clearer target group, and the government can channel subsidies through the Subsidised Diesel Control System under the Budi MADANI initiative,” he told reporters after the Kita Gempur @ Tawau programme with strategic consumer partners here today. The third factor, he added, is the long-standing and significant price disparity for goods in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan compared to Peninsular Malaysia, an issue that has yet to be fully addressed.
“We then compared the prices and found that 65 to 68 percent of these goods were significantly more expensive in Sabah and Sarawak than in Peninsular Malaysia,” he said.
