Ahmad: Call me names, but I will stand by GST


Datuk Ahmad Maslan

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Ahmad Maslan has been called many unpleasant things but Malaysia’s “most hated man” says he will not waver in his defence of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

“On social media, people call me bodoh (stupid) and other derogatory remarks but I am doing this for the sake of the nation,” said the Deputy Finance Minister, who had been hit with a barrage of criticism and name-calling ever since the tax came into force on April 1.
