Malaysia's Subsidies: Saving or Sinking the Economy?

I would add one point. the subsidies are so engrained where the public take it for granted as their right that it becomes a political issue whenever any rationalisation is proposed. anwar is taking some steps in the right direction but political considerations constantly cloud decisions. bear in mind he is leading a coalition formed from a marriage of convenience which could falter should public anger boils over.

[@timhean]

@@captainmee3469subsidies for all, or subsidies for none. I do agree lower class needs a bit of a lift to help them get them to where we want our middle-middle higher income economy which is what our government wants to be by 2030. With how inflation is eating away us, and how our Ringgit hasn’t been strengthening until last quarter, Malaysia has a bleak future till we remove unnecessary stress in the economy, but subsidies are still needed for the everyday Malaysian (B40, M40) to be on at least a perceived level playing field with the U20. That said, I fully support removing Bumi subsidies because it doesn’t make sense that everyone of us are “Malaysians” but some Malaysians are better than others. Unless you are in financial need, your loans and house purchasing rights should be on a level playing field, but that’s too political of an opinion apparently. Also Philippines is not a good example of an economic model which we should look at, because it’s an authoritarian state farcading as a democracy. Capitalist conglomerates run the entire nation and I wouldn’t want to see that in Malaysia. I say this coming from an upper middle lower income Malaysian living in Australia earning a decent salary, and I date a very Filipino girl and she can only have the lifestyle they have because of the rampant corruption in their country.

Agree, middle income like us are being 'pressed' left and right. We are too 'rich' for subsidies and yet we are the ones that are being impacted by increase in taxes and abolishment of subsidies like fuel, education & medical.

[@sharonwong8280]

Malaysia has an entrenched subsidy culture. What it is based on (aside from the legitimate social contract of helping and lessening the burden of the population), lies a political strategy. To me, much of our very generous but unsustainable subsidies, is to assuage the B40 population, largely made up of poor Malays in exchange for their votes. This borders on the illegitimate especially as the government overtly creates easy pathways for Malays/Bumiputras to jump queues and have special privileges in terms of education/university places; govt. projects; discounts on purchasing homes. I would like to call this a "subsidy" - that is, a race-based subsidy that eases their burden that is not open to any others EXCEPT the Bumiputras. This is painfully short-sighted that ultimately, handicaps the very people that needs to be lifted up. I love Malaysia. It troubles me that as a country, we are forever stuck with a majority population of Malays who are used to this steady diet of handouts and privileges. They deserve better.

The Malaysian government are purposely stopping giving out subsidies due to following guidelines by the IMF. The subsidies we are talking about here is not unhealthy subsidy like sugar, but instead gas and healthcare. It's all under the guise of climate change and sustainability, even though it's the normal citizens that will suffer. The Malaysian government is also playing race and class card, saying that the poor and middle class don't pay taxes, and only the rich contributes to 80% of the economy which is ridiculous. The Malaysian government has been drying of money ever since the started following IMF guidelines, so by reducing subsidy (which actually benefits the people directly) according to IMF, is the only way to increase the government money and that's partly true if you don't consider the consequences.

[@johnmonk3381]

Notice how they are trying to remove gas subsidies under the guise of sustainability/climate change or to reduce supposed 'smuggling.' Anwar's government is seriously lost in managing the economy and has been closely following IMF guidelines. That’s why they have been pushing EV cars so much lately. We are just a small country; we can’t afford to follow the sustainability goals and plans of rich countries. Recently, Anwar has also been hinting at privatizing healthcare, which shows they are definitely not on the right path. They will do anything as long as their government gains more money, regardless of the suffering of the people.

That's the two edged sword problem of subsidies... Subsidies are good for our social welfare, to keep control of the price of our basic neccesities. However, one of the negative effect of subsidies is that it also keeps our basic wage low. What drives basic wages upwards? Basically, inflation and cost of living. As subsidies help keep the price of our basic neccesities low, it will also reduce the pressure to increase our basic wages. Don't take me wrong here.... I do not advocate for the abolishment of subsidies as that is just cruel. But we do need to find a better balance here.

[@chrysostomgunaseelan3907]

A British accent has a hypnotic and spell bounding effect, as in the narration of this presentation. The effect here is to suggest lessening subsidies. Neocolonies exist for clear purposes, and Malaysia is not immune from such purposes. Being not part of a self sufficient and regulating civilization, removing subsidies without an iron clad alternative is all about benefitting investors in the various privatization schemes that would be hatched to deal with a post subsidized event: and because our research, educational, training, and social relational capacities have been sabotaged to not be of much use, the post-subsidized business will draw on external expertise that will carry a hefty price tag. Politicians in the Third World exist to serve in the profits of neocolonial interests of the dominant powers in indigenous local dress and form to avoid international litigation. OUR politicians and businessmen are tailored to serve these interests. Avoiding subsidies implies having appropriate levels of real local research, expertise , and social cooperation essential to translate research into viable, community serving affordable solutions. My guess is that whatever decisions are made on subsidies will not disturb the status quo of dominant powers in ensuring that raw materials, resources and cheap manufacturing are available for profit in the Third World, and subsidies are there to ensure that money is not diverted to provide affordable solutions using available (and NOT non available) local ingenuity and cooperation. 16:07

It is better to teach the people how to fish and become skillful fisherman so they can catch their own fishes and learn to more independent for themselves. You can never take away the walking stick from the people once it's given and it became the bane of the economy and people. Until we can learn to stand on our own feet will then the national debts be reduced and the excess funds channel into more project developments that is much beneficial for all the people of Malaysia.

All Malaysia has to do for long-terms and optional direction for its growth is the look into investing in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and possibility in the near future Myanmar when things calmed down there. But the problems is that Thailand is blocking land access into these regions which makes Thailand the only gateway for Malaysian business and people to grasp the opportunity within ASEAN. At the end of the day, Malaysia has all the tools its needed to sustain its growth and bring about a new kind of development and income growth into Malaysia back.

Now that Malaysia Proton has a EV, how would the Govt provide subsides for Electricity used by EV? If electricity use by EV is not subsided, why would a Malaysia change his petrol car to EV when he can pump Cheap RON 95 Petrol while if he switch to a EV.. and charge it to full he dun get subsidies.

I think you are not taking into account that fact that there are millions of micro businesses like food stalls that bring in billions of RM to the economy. If we lose these, the government will have to subside the unemployed millions. so back to square one, with tragic consequences.

Malaysia has provided subsidies to its people for decades. This is a people's country, the people come first. The hospital fee is only RM1. Country that provide subsidies to their people are also able to open up the widest possible employment opportunities for migrant workers. Countries that have low state debt, higher VAT, high SST are also unable to provide employment opportunities to their peoples so they end up migrating to Malaysia to become migrant workers.

Should continue giving on subsidies is our right the politicians in our country getting too much allowance they never cut one bit of their allowances then why they should cutting our benefits lol

[@amanokinji6220]

Meh, employer still dont want to pay us global wage, and now you are complaining about the citizen having too much subsidize goods. How are you expecting us to live? What is the average price of a house in the city like KL? Average car installment for proton and perodua? Then, the govt whining about talent leaving the country for better wages? 😂 Funny its only the rich and govt. official keep complaining about subsidize item as burden but does not want to invest in human capital, talent, skills in advanced industries
