Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli has cautioned that the government’s new targeted RON95 petrol subsidy, set to begin on Sept 30, could open the door to fuel reselling and other loopholes.

He said the scheme, which grants Malaysians who have a valid driving licence access to 300 litres of petrol at RM1.99 per litre per month, may not eliminate misuse.

“There is a possibility that new leakages will emerge.

“Those who do not need the full 300 litre quota may purchase at subsidised prices and resell it. Groups with unlimited access to subsidised petrol, such as e-hailing drivers, could also open up opportunities for leakages,” Rafizi said.

“Her voice cracked as she described the unthinkable: preparing a funeral while her son still breathes.”

That was how Singaporean activist and former lawyer M Ravi recounted his heart-wrenching exchange with the mother of Malaysian K Datchinamurthy, after telling her that her 39-year-old son is set to be executed this Thursday for smuggling 44.96g of diamorphine into the republic.

“This is the cruelty of the death penalty: families must count the hours, wait outside Changi Prison through the night, and be ready to collect the body of the child they raised,” he added.

[KiniNews] The government will not be imposing an income cap on RON95 subsidies once the targeted mechanism is in place on Sept 30.

Instead, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that all Malaysians with a valid driver's licence can buy RON95 at RM1.99 per litre.

He also clarified that there will be a 300L per month ceiling, which e-hailing drivers will be exempted from.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has cautioned that Shafie Apdal could face a contempt of court charge over his remarks on the inquest into Zara Qairina Mahathir’s death.

The AGC said it is reviewing in detail the contents of Shafie’s statement, which it said was made during an event on Sept 20.
