Any subsidy given is painful when removed.
But it ma be necessary to go through the pain then to misallocate resources.
Yes people suffer one round of price hikes.
But the money saved can be channelled to help the poorest folks who need it most.
Unfortunately many people only measure a policy by the benefit they receive but faiil to appreciate that someone who needs jt more is getting it.
Anwar made a bold move ...and a right move but human selfish nature may work against him.

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
