Diesel subsidy system to be improved, says PM

PUTRAJAYA: The existing diesel subsidy system will continue and be improved by ensuring that vehicles that transport diesel supplies from gas stations or skid tanks are equipped with a fleet card system to monitor diesel consumption and avoid leakage, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim

Speaking in a press conference after chairing the National Economic Action Council (MTEN) here on Monday (May 15), Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said the country's diesel subsidy system should be improved following the country's subsidy liability which jumped to RM13bil last year.
