KUALA LUMPUR: Up to RM17bil can be saved from government coffers if it decides to implement a targeted subsidy mechanism for petrol, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.

This was because Putrajaya spent RM50.8bil in subsidies for petrol, diesel and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) last year, the Deputy Finance Minister said.
