Groups: Abandon ‘subsidy mentality’

PETALING JAYA: Reassured by the efforts to battle the rising cost of living issue, consumer and business groups say the government should move away from the “subsidy mentality” and focus more on food security.

Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) education officer NV Subbarow said as the government could not afford to subsidise everything, it should consider other options to help control the prices of goods.
