[KiniNews] MCA has urged the government to suspend its decision to float diesel prices to allow time to address any shortcomings in the move.

Its vice-president Wee Jeck Seng said he had received complaints today from first-time applications for the targeted diesel subsidy scheme, with some companies being told they had already been registered for it, raising concerns of potential data misuse.

If the government insists on the decision, Wee suggested that the former look into gradual subsidy removal for diesel instead.

Meanwhile, PAS has called on the government to enhance monitoring and enforcement to prevent businesses from unjustly raising prices after the removal of blanket subsidies for diesel.

PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan welcomed the government’s goal of improving financial sustainability and addressing subsidy leakages, however, he expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on the public.
