More funds for social aid with lifting of subsidy


KANGAR: The move to end the chicken subsidy and price control would mean more funds would be available for other needs of the community in a targeted manner, says a university lecturer.

Universiti Malaysia Perlis’ Business and Communication Faculty senior lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Zukime Mat Junoh said the removal of the subsidy, effective from Nov 1, would allow the government to use the money to support other efforts such as social assistance programmes for the needy.
