The government is studying the best method to distribute diesel and petrol subsidies to fishermen to ensure that the facility reaches the target group, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Noh Omar said today.
He said it was also to reduce cases of irregularities by irresponsible people.
He added the budget allocated to the ministry for subsidies, incentives and aid is huge. As such, he wanted to ensure that every cent allocated by the government really benefits the people.
He told reporters after a dialogue with members of the Semporna, Lahad Datu, Kunak and Tawau fishermen's associations, in Semporna.
Noh said some fishermen had complained that the cost of the fuel for them to get to petrol kiosks to collect the subsidy was higher than the benefit they derived from the subsidy.
This, he said, was due to the location of the petrol kiosks far from the homes of the fishermen.
As such, the study would consider the possibility of locating the subsidy fuel kiosks at jetties, including the fish-landing jetties.
Noh said the ministry would also decide whether to pay the catch incentive of 10 cents per kilogram on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
