I agree with the suggested subsidy. Monthly Income below RM 3k should receive 15% discount. Above RM3k - RM5k should receive 10% discount. Above RM5k - RM10k should receive 5% discount. Above RM10k will not receive any subsidy. discount. For business people the discounts should vary by a table to differentiate small business and big. Therefore, IRB should issue Discount Cards according to Citizens who declare 'B' and 'BE' form yearly. Discounts must be given to purchase petrol and grocery items with recognized supermarkets like Mydin, UO, Aeon BIG, Giant etc. Discount must be on displayed price, if not outlets will put condition only to purchase non-discounted items.
