The move to cut government subsidies only affects the rich or T20 group and that too is at a minimal rate, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“The subsidy reduction only involves the rich T20 households. Can’t they do with less subsidies? The cut in electricity subsidy was not aimed at the masses (but) only the wealthy in the T20 group. So why do we have to make this a political issue? Who are we championing?" he said.
He said this in reply to a supplementary question from Radzi Jidin (Perikatan Nasional-Putrajaya) on the decision to reduce government subsidies in solving the problems faced by the people following the fall of the ringgit.
