“The additional amount was for subsidies,” he said when wrapping up his ministerial replies on the Supplementary Supply Bill 2023. Ahmad said the additional allocation was also used for electricity subsidies , chicken and chicken eggs subsidies , special Hari Raya payments for civil servants and RM1.2bil for contract doctors, among others.
