Cadangan Bersama apung harga minyak tak realistik, kata Pemuda DAP
Naib Ketua Pemuda Raja Ahmad Iskandar Fareez berkata ia berisiko bebankan rakyat ambil kira pasaran minyak dunia tidak menentu.
DAP Youth Party's BUDI95 and BUDI Diesel approaches deemed more realistic for adjusting petrol prices based on market conditions, warns Raja Ahmad Iskandar Fareez. The party's deputy head, Sum Dek Joe, stated that the "Together" proposal to spike petrol prices if crude oil falls below USD70 per barrel is unrealistic due to potential risks to citizens' living costs.
Raja Ahmad highlighted the widening conflict in Western Asia and attacks in the Strait, making oil price predictions challenging. He suggested raising petrol prices only after global crude oil drops below USD70 per barrel, with monthly cash assistance to households for three months. However, he cautioned that a one-time cash boost for 80% of households might not be enough to absorb the price hike.
Raja Ahmad emphasized the need for a safe and reliable public transportation system, which would take years to build. Until then, urging citizens to pay RM4.32 per liter for petrol would unfairly burden low-income families, he argued.
