Fuel subsidy details missing from PM's speech, says Hamzah


PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s national address has done little to alleviate the concerns of the people, who are already feeling the pinch from the rising cost of living, says Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

"The elephant in the room is when will the fuel subsidy rationalisation come into effect and what will the government’s mechanism to channel aid to people be?" he said in a statement on Wednesday (May 22).
