Julia Goh, Senior Economist at UOB Malaysia breaks the details down further for us as she assesses how the phasing out of diesel subsidies, the end of chicken and egg price controls and the continuation of targeted electricity subsidies based on consumption might affect Malaysia's economic fortunes.
