No discussions yet on subsidies for goods also enjoyed by foreigners, says Fahmi


PERMATANG PAUH: The Cabinet has yet to discuss in detail the matter of subsidies for certain goods that foreign nationals will also enjoy, says Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil (pic).

Fahmi, also the Unity Government’s spokesperson, said the government would look into it thoroughly so that benefits from the subsidy programme were first directed to groups who required it the most, namely Malaysians.
