Economist warns restoring 300-litre Budi95 quota may delay subsidy reform
An economist has said the government's decision to restore the monthly Budi95 fuel subsidy eligibility to 300 litres could complicate Malaysia's long-term subsidy rationalisation efforts. The move, announced by the Prime Minister to ease cost-of-living pressures, is seen as a step backwards from market-determined fuel prices, though the need for temporary relief is acknowledged.
