Customs backtracks on top-up directive


PUTRAJAYA: In a quick turnaround, the Customs Department has indefinitely postponed its directive that prepaid reload cards revert to pre-Goods and Services Tax (GST) prices today.

Director-general Datuk Seri Khazali Ahmad said the postponement comes after the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) statement that telecommunications companies would not be able to comply with the directive in time.
