Vehicles transporting construction materials eligible for targeted diesel subsidy


KUALA LUMPUR: Vehicles used to transport construction materials will continue to enjoy the diesel subsidy despite the upcoming targeted mechanism, says Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Fuziah Salleh.

“Lorries that transport construction materials will not be affected (when the blanket subsidy is lifted) because they are still eligible for the diesel subsidy,” she said in response to Yusuf Abd Wahab (GPS - Tanjong Manis) in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Nov 27).
