Budget 2023: RM10bil worth of diesel misappropriated


KUALA LUMPUR: Around RM10bil worth of diesel was misappropriated last year, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister, while tabling Budget 2023 in Parliament on Friday (Feb 24), said in addition to the leakages in diesel subsidies, there were others amounting to RM3bil in wastage, loss of public funds, and inefficient payments as revealed by the Auditor-General's Reports in 2020 and 2021.

"RM72mil was also lost due to weaknesses in collecting vehicle import duties," he said.
