The government will use the RM6 billion in special dividend paid by Petronas to ease the people’s burden in the wake of the recent fuel price hikes, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said yesterday.
The deputy prime minister said the government would announce the measures soon.
“There will be more announcement (of the measures) to help the people,” he told reporters after launching the Malaysian Education and Career Expo 2008 and the logo for the F500 Powerboat World Championship Series at the Putra World Trade Centre here yesterday.
On Tuesday, Petronas announced a total of RM62.8 billion payment to the federal government, comprising among others RM30 billion in dividend, including the RM6 billion special dividend.
