According to a Bernama report, the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism ministry (KPDNKK) has dismissed reports of an allegedly-planned new system under which only motorists with monthly incomes of RM5,000 and below, using cars with engines displacing under 2.0 litres, will qualify to buy fuel at fully-subsidised rates.
“The newspaper reports are just speculations as the government had not yet issued in detail the implementation of the move,” KPDNKK secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad told reporters yesterday.
He said that there was a new approach to fuel subsidies, but studies were still being undertaken and the government would announce this in due course.
Alias recently revealed that a new system ensuring the sale of subsidised fuel only to eligible motorists is set to begin in September for commercial vehicles, and October or November for private vehicles. About 3,500 petrol stations nationwide would be involved, and the government targets savings of RM9.8 billion through this new system, “assured to be more efficient and effective,” he said.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express frustration and skepticism over fuel subsidy policies, especially the income-based criteria and their fairness. Many believe the government is inefficient, corrupt, or motivated by revenue needs, and criticise the lack of transparency. Some suggest abolishing subsidies altogether or reforming car taxes, with concerns over affordability, smuggling, and social equity. The overall sentiment is critical, with calls for more honest, effective governance and fairer subsidy systems benefiting all Malaysians.
