I was a little surprised after reading this brief Star Online Nation article "New fuel scheme" where our Prime Minister mentioned that a new subsidy scheme is in the works where the rich will pay more than the poor. On the side note, he said the government is also working on ways to counter dependence on foreign workers.
A sudden stroke of ingenuity or just more talk? I am not too optimistic here, especially the fuel subsidy after taking into consideration the failed diesel quota some time back. :(
