VEHICLES used to transport construction materials will continue to enjoy diesel subsidy despite the 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 diesel subsidy,” she said in reply to Yusuf Abd Wahab (GPS-Tanjong Manis) in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
