KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 – Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong has clarified that he never proposed a 150-litre petrol limit as a potential government policy.
Following remarks made during a fireside chat at an AFFIN Bank event. He said his comments were taken out of context.
Leading to public misunderstanding over the government’s approach to managing the global energy crisis.
Liew explained that the Budi95 mechanism is a useful tool for gathering comprehensive data on Malaysians’ travel patterns and fuel consumption trends.
He stressed that the government’s main priority is to ensure sufficient petrol supply for the longest possible period.
He also called for greater public awareness and collective efforts to reduce fuel consumption, saying society should work towards building consensus on fuel-saving measures.
Liew expressed regret over the confusion caused and urged the public to consider the full context of his remarks.
