Removing diesel subsidy for private vehicles will hit Sabahans hard, says SAPP

KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans will be heavily burdened if the government goes ahead with its decision to do away with diesel subsidies for private vehicles cars under Budget 2024, says Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) vice-president Gee Tien Siong.

He said most Sabahans rely on privately registered diesel-powered vehicles and removing the subsidy would hit villagers, farmers and a wide section of people using such vehicles for their daily commute.
