Why didn’t Zahid object to BUDI95 cut earlier, says DAP rep
Thulsi Manogaran questioned why the prime minister was criticised over the cut, and says Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as deputy prime minister should uphold the principle of collective responsibility.
DAP assemblyman Thulsi Manogaran has questioned why Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Umno president, did not object to the government's decision to reduce the monthly petrol quota for subsidised RON95 petrol in April. This decision was later increased last month. As a senior government member, Zahid should have voiced his opposition through the proper channels if he believed the policy was wrong, according to Thulsi.
She accused him of irresponsibility and misleading statements when he suggested the restoration of the quota was a "U-turn" driven by fear of an election. Thulsi clarified that the quota reduction was a temporary measure implemented in April due to the escalation of conflict in the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over global fuel supplies and energy security.
