KUALA LUMPUR: The implementation of targeted subsidies is done to save the country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
At the Prime Minister’s Department monthly gathering here this morning, Anwar said the government had to make several unpopular measures to stabilise the economy.
“Who wants to implement targeted subsidies? We must realise that whatever we do, we will be attacked with all sorts of lies and accusations.
“Those wearing songkoks, robes, turbans, but continue to lie… when we’ve told them that all prime ministers before this had agreed to implement targeted subsidies but there has been no political will to do so,” he said.
