Guest: Ameera Natasha Moore, Debater, Muhyuddin Ahsan, Debater, Emellia Shariff, CEO, MIDP Youth Institute
In this episode of our debate show, we look at the government’s recent plans to review fuel subsidies for higher‑income groups, a move that drew strong pushback from lower‑tier T20 households, who argue that even at their income levels, making ends meet is tough. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan later noted the cabinet has yet to formally address the issue, though the question still remains: Is it fair to deny fuel subsidies to high-income Malaysians?Our debaters, Ameera and Ahsan, argue both sides of this. And then in the final half, our judge Emellia Shariff declares a winner.
This show is produced in collaboration with MIDP Youth Institute, previously known as the Malaysian Institute for Debate & Public Speaking. You can find them on their website, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
