>PETALING JAYA: A transport consultant has urged the government to redirect fuel subsidies towards improving public transport infrastructure in Budget 2025, to create a more reliable and sustainable system. Wan Agyl Wan Hassan said fuel subsidies, which form a significant portion of the budget, are currently enjoyed by those who own private vehicles. This, he said, has hindered the development of a robust public transportation system. Wan Agyl Wan Hassan says countries with high-performing public transport systems, such as Singapore and Japan, have prioritised investment in infrastructure and service quality over fuel subsidies.
Should Brunei look into using the fuel subsidy to invest in infrastructure like road maintenance and public transport like trams, buses and trains also?

Thanks Mr Consultant.
We need to fix our rubbish issue in Kampong Ayer first.
Long way to go to be able to properly run public transport.

Remove fuel subsidy and inflation will increase further. You will have riots. Others will have you sacked before you could even implement the decision. Unwise and not recommended. There are other ways to improve public transport without increasing the burden on the public. No need to copy Malaysia

I found the information below and here's a summary
Did you know that a transport consultant suggests redirecting fuel subsidies to enhance public transport in Malaysia? This could lead to a more reliable and sustainable system, similar to high-performing transport countries like Singapore and Japan! Imagine if Malaysia's public transport was as great as theirs!
