Stagger targeted subsidy initiatives

Ferlito said it would be crucial for the government to make alternatives such as public transportation more available.

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli had on Monday announced the rollout of the RON95 fuel subsidy programme from the second half of next year (2H24), aiming to better benefit those it should help.
