PETALING JAYA: The annual leakage of more than RM500mil in subsidised liquefied petroleum gas meant for homes must be stopped, says the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee.“PAC’s focus is definitely on the standard operating procedure on how subsidised LPG is supplied and sold, and why there was RM1.7bil in losses between 2015 and 2017, ” PAC deputy chairman Wong Kah Woh said yesterday.
Committee member Wong Chen said the Auditor-General found that an average of RM560mil in subsidised LPG, meant for residential use, ended up being bought by businesses, who were not entitled to enjoy such subsidies, which amount to around RM1bil a year.
