PORT DICKSON: Malaysia’s implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which has enabled the authorities to raise RM41bil last year, is not as “burdensome” as that in other countries, says Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said countries like India would have a drastic GST regime when it imposes up to 23% tax on certain goods from April.
