KUALA LUMPUR: Subsidies were only reduced for the wealthy, hence it does not affect the majority of the people, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“We reduced the electricity subsidies for the super rich and the bigger homes, who are in the T20 category. Why are we turning it into a political issue?” he said during the Prime Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (June 6).
