RON95 petrol subsidy rationalisation must not burden the rakyat, says Dr Wee


KUALA LUMPUR: The RON95 petrol subsidy rationalisation must be implemented carefully to avoid burdening the people, says a government lawmaker.

"Will there be a surprise like we saw when diesel subsidies were rationalised? We have to be careful here as it will impact the people,” Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam) asked Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli during question time in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (July 11).
