Dealing with subsidies is serious business, it cost RM74bil in 2009


SUBSIDIES in the country, which reached a staggering sum of RM74bil in 2009, will be the thrust of discussion over the next few days as the Cabinet and the public will examine the ambitious plan hatched to minimise and eventually remove the burden to the Government.

The Cabinet is scheduled to meet today to deliberate on the subsidy-removal plan laid out by Pemandu and the public will have their say at the subsidy rationalisation lab open day tomorrow.
