It is rumoured that the tiered fuel pricing that was supposed to come into effect this May has been scrapped. The plan was supposed to help the government reduce it's subsidy on fuel which runs up to RM5 billion a year.
It is an unpopular move from the start besides the fact that it was logistically unrealistic to be implemented. Anyway, now that the tiered fuel pricing has been scrapped, it is not known if the subsidy will be scrapped altogether.
I think that if fuel subsidy is scrapped altogether in the country, at least road tax should be scrapped as well since we are already paying road toll and car taxes should be lowered or scrapped entirely as well!
I don't think we should continue to take the crap that Malaysians are enjoying one of the lowest fuel prices in the region or whatever, anymore, should we? Goodness, we are an oil and gas producing country!
