Malaysia implements targeted diesel subsidy plan

The targeted subsidies will mitigate the adverse impact on inflation while generating substantial savings, particularly by reducing leakages and cross-border smuggling, he said. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on May 22 announced that his Cabinet agreed to implement a targeted diesel subsidy for consumers in Malaysia. To curb drastic rises in the prices of goods and services, the government will provide subsidies for traders using commercial diesel vehicles including ten types of public transport vehicles and 23 types of goods vehicles under the diesel subsidy control system.

Coach Stu calls it a career
"I enjoyed building relationships and trust with these young men and women through the game of golf," Stuart said. Stuart's first taste of success came in 1993 when Chad Winter won a Class B individual state championship. After earning state medals in both her sophomore and junior seasons, Baete finally reached the summit with a Class B State Championship in 2016. In the Fall of 2023 --Stuart's last season as the girls head coach -- second generation golfer Kiera Paquette was able to capture a state championship. "Ralston was our rival and those coaches would get after it like it was a state championship game," Weeks said.
