No reason to raise transport rates, says Kong

KUALA LUMPUR: Those in the transport industry have no reason to raise their rates because of the fuel subsidy cut because the move will result in more projects from which these operators can benefit, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said.

“The industry players should not use the fuel subsidy cut as an excuse to increase their charges,” he said, commenting on the Government’s announcement on Thursday to reduce subsidies for petrol, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas along with that for sugar.
