On July 1st, it was declared that citizens would no longer get subsidies for necessities and would instead pay full price. Online users immediately criticised our politicians on Twitter for this. However, this is only for bottled oil, packeted oils will still be subsidised.
Many others voiced their worries about how the B40 people will now be able to purchase their own daily meals. Are internet users requesting that B40 people exclusively consume rice and water? without any kind of nutrition.
Others claim that the ministers are failing to speak out on behalf of the populace. Others made snide remarks, advising us to all cast our ballots for the opposition. But is it a good idea for the government to stop providing subsidies for our basic needs?
