This will let people know the true cost of petrol. - GOOD SUGGESTION in my view, our saviour?“The increase in petrol prices should be by a few sen and it must be done slowly so as not to burden the people,” he said.Muhammad Shaani explained that if petrol price was to be determined by engine capacity, it did not necessary mean that the subsidy would reach the poor.“Having too many variables in a system would open it to abuses. How is the Government going to implement such a system? You want a simple system and not a complicated one.Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin welcomed the Government’s move to ensure that fuel subsidies be enjoyed by those who deserve it.“The subsidies should be made available to motorcyclists or people who drive Proton Sagas and Kancils,” he said. - "smartest" suggestionMalaysian Automotive Association president Datuk Aishah Ahmad said a thorough study on the fuel subsidy mechanism should be made to avoid any glitches.“The most important thing is to be fair to all parties, regardless of whether one drives a luxury car or otherwise,” she said.</blockquote>
