Kamil Slams Opposition's "False Narrative" on RON95 Subsidy

The opposition's recent attacks on the government's RON95 fuel subsidy are just plain wrong, according to Minister of Finance, Kamil. He accused them of spreading misinformation and distorting the facts to score cheap political points. Kamil emphasized that the fuel subsidy is essential for maintaining affordability and protecting the livelihoods of Malaysians, especially those in the lower-income bracket.

Let's Get Real About the RON95 Subsidy

Kamil, in a press conference, slammed the opposition's claims that the RON95 subsidy is a waste of public funds. He pointed out that the subsidy helps to stabilize fuel prices and protect consumers from global market fluctuations. "The opposition seems to have forgotten that fuel prices have skyrocketed globally, and without the subsidy, Malaysians would be paying a fortune at the pump," he said.

A Lifeline for Many

Kamil further explained that the RON95 subsidy benefits a wide range of sectors, from transportation and logistics to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It also helps to mitigate inflationary pressures and keep the cost of living manageable for everyone.

The Opposition's Shady Agenda

"It's clear the opposition is playing politics with people's livelihoods," Kamil said. "Their goal is to create fear and uncertainty among the rakyat, and they're willing to twist the truth to do so."

Kamil called on the opposition to be responsible and stop spreading falsehoods about the RON95 subsidy. "Let's focus on what's truly important – ensuring affordability and protecting Malaysians' well-being," he urged.

Looking Ahead

Kamil reassured Malaysians that the government is committed to addressing the concerns of the rakyat and will continue to prioritize their welfare. The fuel subsidy is just one example of how the government is working to shield Malaysians from economic hardship. "We will continue to work hard and deliver on our promises, even in the face of baseless attacks from the opposition," he declared.
