Umno dares Pakatan states to lower prices

KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat has been asked to reduce the price of fuel and other essential goods sold in the states under its administration if it feels that the price decided by the Federal Government is too high, said Umno information chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan.

Ahmad said that instead of constantly criticising the Government over the issue, the opposition should prove it was better by getting traders and petrol station operators in states under their control to sell the goods at a cheaper price.

“Why doesn’t Pakatan fork out money to further subsidise petrol sold in Penang, Selangor, Kelantan and Kedah to lessen the rakyat’s burden?


“Why don’t they also subsidise sugar so that it can be sold at RM1 per kilo instead of RM2.30.

“If they find this impossible to do, then they should stop mocking Barisan Nasional as Barang Naik (BN),” he said.

Ahmad who is Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said the government was expected to spend up to RM20bil in subsidy this year, double the RM10bil last year.

He also said that press secretaries and the communication teams at the respective ministries should ensure that issues raised were tackled speedily and effectively so that people would understand the government’s position better.
