Consumers face challenges ahead as Govt prepares to review subsidies

KUALA LUMPUR: Consumers have to face greater challenges in 2010 as the government prepares to restructure the subsidy scheme on several items.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (Fomca) Mohd Yusof Abd Rahman noted that, probably by May, only those who qualify could buy fuel at subsidised prices using their Mykads and the rest have to bear the actual market price.
