Don't totally remove fuel subsidies, but raise RON95 price gradually, says Najib


PETALING JAYA: Instead of completely removing subsidies for petrol, the government should gradually raise the price of RON95 petrol by 10 sen or 20 sen, says Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

He said with many countries experiencing high inflation, it was not a suitable time to completely remove petrol subsidies.
