Wee: Budi Madani diesel subsidy scheme too stringent


PETALING JAYA: The current Budi Madani diesel subsidy scheme eligibility criteria are too stringent for farmers and smallholders, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said the current requirement for all applicants to be registered companies with annual sales revenue ranging from RM50,000 to RM300,000 means that the vast majority of farmers and smallholders will not qualify for the subsidy.
