KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak shopped for some essential items at the Kota Damansara Giant hypermarket as he observed the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and its impact on consumer goods.

“I noticed that the prices of goods here are reasonable and the essential goods are zero-rated as set by the Government,” he wrote in a post on his Facebook account yesterday.
