Kota Kinabalu: The subsidies given by the Government to the people throughout the country, including electricity, fuel and food, is expected to exceed RM81 billion this year, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said even though the figure is seen as high, reducing the total subsidy without looking at the needs of the people is not a choice to the Government to ensure the people are not burdened, especially by the current cost of living.Therefore, he said the rationalisation of subsidies being implemented by the Government is important in ensuring the people are assisted while the country’s economy remains strong.
“With such a amount of subsidies, no country can survive, some will lessened,” he said while launching the Islamic Affairs Management Convention in conjunction with the 2023 Ijtimak Perdana Agensi Agama Seluruh Malaysia at the Sabah Intrnational Convention Centre, here, Wednesday night.Also present were Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor; Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Armizan Bin Mohd Ali; and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Dr Mohd Nai’im Mokhtar.
“I requested this rationalisation from the Muslim community, the richest are not given subsidies to help other pilgrims, it was well received. “Now the cost has increased many times, the price of oil in Saudi Arabia is higher than Malaysia, Brunei is a bit little lower. We will help the people with this subsidy .
He said for the interior of Sabah and Sarawak, a mechanism to ensure that the price of rice does not increase due to transport costs will be discussed to help the people in those areas.
