Penang Garbage Truck Operators Association president Arif Ibrahim speaking to the press during a press conference held after a peaceful protest at outside the Seberang Perai City Council (Jawi Branch) in Butterworth, Penang.

BUTTERWORTH: Lorry owners need clarification about the diesel subsidy as only some of their vehicles qualify for the aid.

The Penang Garbage Truck Operators Association said that while their rigid lorries (waste) qualify for the subsidy, their Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) lorries do not.
