Man, I predicted this would be shelved 6 days into the scheme. I guess the proper people didn’t buy in (or buy off) into the scheme. Or is it a case of binary (flip-flip) government (Sorry, been watching the Big Bang Theory).
Dateline 2010-02-25, from The Star:
PETALING JAYA: The Government’s proposed fuel subsidy scheme based on the engine capacity of vehicles has apparently been shelved.
Sources indicate that the plan, which was originally set to be implemented on May 1, will not proceed even though a lot of the preparatory work has entered the final stage.
“We were so close to getting this off the ground,’’ said a source.
The Government had planned to introduce a tiered pricing system for petrol, depending on engine capacity, while foreigners would have to pay the market price.
