Malaysia’s state is attempting to quiet the raging rage among the underserved middle class due to a lack of clarity regarding what T15 are. Some, including academics and officials, have argued that a family earning RM13, 500 could hardly be considered ultra-rich.
Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli acknowledged soon after the funds that the government is” choppy waters ahead” when it comes to reducing diesel grants, despite his claim on October 28 that the concept of T15 is expected to be based on site and online disposable home money.
The government is hoping to finalise these facts in a fortnight, he said, estimating that 10 million homes may qualify for the fresh T15 classification.
Since the Budget announcement, Mr. Anwar has had to consider in half, firstly rejecting suggestions that a RM13,500 home would be categorized as a T15, and then arguing that the payment cuts could only apply to T10 households or those who make more than RMRM15, 000 per month.
In a angry response to lawmakers who questioned the T15 concept in parliament on October 29, Mr. Anwar denied that the government had released confusing comments as a result of the funds.
” The Department of Statistics had set it ( T15 ) at RM13, 000. We believe it to be too small. May we increase this to RM15, 000 or RM20, 000? That is being discussed. But, there are no conflicting assertions whatsoever”, he said.
Mr. Anwar disagreed on November 1 when he claimed that it was only good to support the lower-income parties because some folks had likened him to Robin Hood for taking money from the wealthy.
” If we want to take care of the poor, we may have enough resources. We inherited payments amounting to RM1.5 trillion, and we do no wish to tax the people seriously. We are merely levying a respectable income on the ultra-wealthy.
He was quoted by the News Straits Times as saying,” This is not Robin Hood, but only a departure of grants,” during a conversation with students from the University Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia.  ,
In a move that was anticipated to keep RM4 billion annually, Malaysia cut oil subsidies on June 10. Gasoline prices were immediately increased by 56 %, and unhappiness increased despite the cash assistance that was provided to some affected parts.  ,
This included low-income personal fuel owners who were able to apply for a regular cash payment of RM200 to cover the fuel’s value.
