Malaysia to review diesel subsidy

Malaysias Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry will review the distribution of diesel subsidies to target groups to prevent fraud or leakages. “We have spent billions of ringgit in diesel subsidies. That’s why I have asked the [National Audit] Department to carry out an audit, including the use of the Nano Tag,” Minister Shahrir Abdul Samad said in early July. (July 17, 2008)
