THE engineering world is an intersection of disciplines where boundaries of possibility are continually pushed.
KUALA LUMPUR: A heated discussion between the Opposition and government blocs took place in the Dewan Rakyat as Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan tried to explain the diesel subsidy rationalisation.
“We never removed the subsidy, we have only targeted the subsidy at people who are in need. We don’t want to subsidise Thai nationals,” said Amir Hamzah, alluding to the smuggling of the fuel at the nation’s borders. “The trend of increasing sales of commercial diesel reflects a positive sign that the leakage of subsidised diesel has been reduced.
The task force involves the Home and Domestic Trade and Cost of Living ministries, in collaboration with the Malaysian Armed Forces, police, Customs Department, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, Immigration Department, and Road Transport Department. Amir Hamzah also said that as of June 20, some 73,000 logistical companies involving 223,000 vehicles have submitted their applications for diesel fleet cards.
