00:00The subsidy research programme needs to be re-established to meet the needs,
00:05like the original plan under the main data base,
00:08not based on the level of income,
00:10so that the benefits reach the right groups in need.
00:15Economic analyst Jeffrey Williams said
00:18a family with a family member needs 24-hour care due to disability
00:23or the patient must need a subsidy for health care
00:27even though they belong to the T15 category.
00:31Williams added that the cost of living is not necessarily lower
00:35for young people,
00:36so assistance for them should be the same as for the elderly.
00:41The Executive Officer of the Malaysian User Union Association, T Saravanan,
00:45said the subsidy programme based on needs
00:48will be more consistent with different dualities for each household.
00:54The Chairperson of the Malaysian Economic Bank, Muhammad Malik Seberhat Afzal Nizam Rashid said
00:58the subsidy research programme will ensure that the savings obtained
01:03can be distributed to critical sectors
01:05such as education and health care for low-income groups,
01:10in addition to infrastructure development and national security.
01:14He said the research will help reduce fiscal deficits and eventually government debt.
01:19This will be seen positively by the Credit Funding Agency.
