“We are carrying out a study on the subsidy rationalisation headed by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, and when it is completed, we will be able to see how much we could save,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the International Seminar on GST 2014 here yesterday.
