THE goods and services tax (GST) is an issue that Malaysians often revisit, but it looks like it’s staying on the shelf for now.

Recently, a member of Parliament raised the question of whether the government had conducted a risk analysis of both the GST and the sales and service tax (SST), and whether there were any plans to revive the GST.
