PETALING JAYA: Diesel subsidies cost the government RM1bil a month, while losses from leakages amount to a whopping RM4.5mil a day, says Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
He said the implementation of the targeted subsidy for diesel is among the key reform measures under the Ekonomi Madani framework to ensure sustainable fiscal management and to address the issue of serious leakages within the system, without compromising the rakyat’s welfare.
