Wee Jeck Seng proposes revenue from windfall tax to be used to help B40 oil palm smallholders

KUALA LUMPUR: Windfall tax collected from the palm oil industry should be used to assist oil palm smallholders who are hard pressed, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng.

"I propose that revenue from the windfall tax is channelled back to the palm oil industry to assist smallholders who are in the B40 group," he said when debating the Windfall Profit Levy (Validation) Act 2023 in Dewan Rakyat on Monday (April 3).
