KUALA LUMPUR: The government is focusing on the implementation of the targeted diesel subsidy initiative before it decides to move on to other related matters, says Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

“We are only focusing on (targeted) diesel subsidy for now and once there is stability, we will look at what can be done next,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Bank Negara Malaysia Sasana Symposium 2024 here yesterday.
