The document discusses Malaysia's subsidy policies and rationalizing subsidies. It notes that subsidies, particularly fuel subsidies, make up a large portion of government expenditures and contribute to budget deficits. The government wants to reduce subsidies by 20 cents per liter for fuel to make subsidies more targeted and use the savings to increase cash transfer programs for the poor. It outlines measures the government is taking to gradually implement subsidy rationalization and ensure it does not overly burden the people.

4. subsidies have Long-run equilibrium effects.
(Subsidies result in overproduction
deadweight loss.) A subsidy will reduce the
cost of production to the producer. It makes
it cheaper to produce.
It is likely that the producer will be
encouraged to produce more therefore the
supply curve will shift to the right . It is also
likely to decrease the cost of the product.

8. WHY CAN NOT GOVERNMENT PROVIDE PROVISION FOR
LARGER FUEL SUBSIDY?
FUEL SUBSIDY aimed to protecting consumers,
but it has increased dramatically and affect
government spending. If the government
continues to allocate large amounts of fuel
subsidies, the government had to sacrifice
other more important expenses include
expenses to provide infrastructure and basic
amenities people.

16. Summary:
About 30% to 40% of the country’s allocation for medical treatment are taking
by the foreigners. In most European countries, foreigners were required to pay
the actual cost. There is a plan to get foreigners, including students to pay for
their actual cost of medical treatment in government hospital.
Comment:
This phenomenon is not good for our country subsidies policy because the
foreigners are not the target group for the subsidy allocation. Plan to get
foreigners to pay the actual cost of medical treatment in government hospital
is a very good plan indeed.
Suggestion:
1. Parliament or government need to draft a new act or policy regarding
subsidies distribution.
2. Government should find new mechanisms to make sure that subsidies are
distributed to the target group (Malaysian).
3. If government want to continue to give subsidies to foreigners, the
government should increases levy or taxes to the foreign workers.

17. ARTICLE REVIEW

18. Based on my justification, government want to reduce the subsidy and
introduce new system of tax or that call good and services tax (GST)
because to reduce government expenditures and increase injection
money in government revenue, deficit budget had been applied to
develop project such as schools, hospital, and so on.
On other view government subsidy have being rise fast over year that
will effect government operation. Subsidy that had being
implementing in Malaysia not benefit to the person selected or person
how really need .based on my opinions government should take an
effective action in order to control subsidy bill by creating a solution
by using new method to distribute subsidy by giving coupon to the
person or household who really need the subsidies. This method will
help government to control the expenditures in subsidies giving.

19. ARTICLE REVIEW

20.  Government will continue to allocated subsidy
for ron95 petrol despite fluctuations in global
prices.
 The price of ron95 petrol would remain steady
at rm1.90 per liter even if global fuel prices
were to increase.
 The actual market price for ron95 is RM3.18. The
government not only gives subsidy for ron95, it
also forgoes the sales tax.

25. WHY GOVERNMENT WANT TO IMPLEMENT THE
RATIONALISATION OF SUBSIDY
Reduction of fuel subsidy is the step for the government to
provide subsidy to the target group
Based oh the research, average
of petrol expenditure for
household that income below
RM3000 are:
RM132
PER
MONTH
Households earning more than
RM5, 000 a month will get more
subsidies for petrol
consumption for luxury
vehicles.
Reduction of fuel subsidies by 20 cent
is more fair because the results can
be given to the poor through the
provision of Bantuan Rakyat
1Malaysia (BR1M) and others.

26. WHAT HAPPENS IF
RATIONALISATION NOT BEEN DONE?
Subsidies involve
government money.
Spending a lot of
subsidies will reduce
the growth of
important sectors in
the country.
Increased subsidy
borne by the
government
will lead to the
development of
public infrastructure
and public services
also declined.
The attractiveness
foreign investors
were also affected
by a reduction in
infrastructure
offered in Malaysia.

27. WHAT GOVERNMENT GUARANTEE
ON THE RATIONALISATION OF SUBSIDY?
Government
expenditure
will does not
exceed the
revenue
Level of debt
GDP does
not exceed
55%
By the year
2015, the fiscal
deficit will reach
3% of GDP. By 2020
about the fiscal
position will
achieve
balanced budget

28. HOW GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE
IMPLEMENTATION OF SUBSIDY RATIONALISATION
NOT BURDEN THE PEOPLE?
Subsidy rationalization
implemented gradually.
Government has
increased the grant
Bantuan Rakyat
1Malaysia (BR1M) in
Budget 2014 to reduce
the burden on the
people.
• Grant BR1M for households
earning RM3, 000 and below will be
increased from RM500 to RM650
• Individual that 21 years old and
over who earn no more than RM2,
000 a month, the aid will be
increased from RM250 to RM300
• BR1M 3.0 will be extended to
households with a monthly income
of RM3, 000 to RM4, 000 with the help
of RM450
