malaysia spent 25 billion ringgit in 2008 just for subsidize goods including petrol and diesel.

almost 70% of the 25 million ringgit (around 16 billion ringgit) was spent for subsidize petrol and diesel.

what if we use the 16 billion ringgit to build hospitals and schools? hospitals and schools stay forever

oil in your tanks does not stay forever right?

of course saudi are cheap because they are the no 1 oil producer in the world....what number is malaysia in oil producing? so u want the gov to spend billions of ringgit to give you 45 cent petrol? what if saudi have as much oil as malaysia....do u think they still pay 45 cent per liter?
