Employment status and number of dependents will be among cost-of-living indicators used to design a new way to distribute RON95 fuel subsidies, says Fuziah Salleh.
The Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said these indicators will be considered as aspects of a household’s expenses.

00:00Under the indicator study, all things related to spending are taken into account.
00:11However, in the case of RON 95, if a subsidy is lost, it will have an impact on the household that uses the RON 95, the petrol.
00:31So, in the study developed by DOSEM, where the KPDN participated and gave a statement, it was indeed taken into account.
00:40Meaning, if there are two cars, if there are two people working, a wife working, a husband working, if there are small school children going to school or children studying at the university,
00:52everything is included in the calculation of the life expectancy indicator.
00:58In terms of food and drink, I think the factor that determines the decline is a more global factor.
01:11However, what the ministry will do is to ensure that all actions, for example, when we lose a subsidy in sales, we ensure that the loss of subsidy does not leave an impact on the price of goods.
01:28As we have done with the loss of subsidies in sales.
01:32Where after we give a subsidy, a fleet card to the transportation costs and so on.
01:39So, that's what the government is doing.
01:42Then, at the same time, we also practice, the government also holds a program of selling Rahmah as well as an agro-civilization program for cheap sales involving basic necessities to help the people.
01:59So, inshallah, next year, we will have twice a month, every month, for this program of selling Rahmah.
02:08Tansuini Petua, as many as 60 million packets of cooking oil, subsidized, are issued every month.
02:15So, we ensure that we use an e-cost system where it can be traced, with permission from Tansuini Petua, from the repacker to the driller and to the lock.
02:28Meanwhile, the drillers are asked to fill the lock, who they sell to.
02:35However, after the drillers, sometimes the drillers do not store the lock properly.
02:44So, here, the strengthening of power is very important, Tansuini Petua, where if we look at the recent times, the strengthening of power of the KPDN has been working 24 hours to ensure that there is no leaking.
02:58There is no leaking on subsidized goods, especially this cooking oil packet.
03:04However, there are still parties who will not take the opportunity, for example, they use this subsidized cooking oil in restaurants, for example.
03:16So, this matter will be investigated in the end and this is the task of our strengthening of power and we will ensure that there is no leaking.
