KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — The government is currently reviewing RON95 assistance for upper income earners, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today, amid growing calls for petrol subsidies to be reserved for the lower- and middle-income groups.
But any recalibration of petrol aid would possibly avoid touching upper middle-income earners too, Anwar suggested.
“The study had been undertaken by the National Economic Action Council,” Anwar told reporters briefly after attending a government programme at Universiti Malaya here.
“But we want to make sure the right income brackets aren’t affected — for example, the upper- middle-income group,” he added.
