The government now says it is conducting pilot tests in offering targeted subsidies for petrol through the use of digital wallets.
The pilot test of this targeted subsidy was carried out to ensure that the B40 and M40 groups enjoy the petrol subsidy, while other groups do not misuse the subsidy.
For now, this pilot test is still in the initial phase, and various things are being studied. This includes taking into account the methods of using digital wallets that may be less used in rural areas, in addition to the challenges in implementing subsidies to individuals from the right group.
This subsidy testing measure is aimed at ensuring that those with high incomes or from the T20 group pay in full without subsidy, and ensure that government aid reaches the needy.
We may hear more about this pilot test in a few months.
