Fahmi said he would meet with the Association of Malaysian Express Carriers and the chief executive officers of courier companies to get their views and gather data to be included in Budget 2024. “Currently, the cost-of-living issue is pressing, so decisions that we make must take into account the industry’s sustainability and not burden the consumers.
