GST was the right move, says Najib

KUCHING: Malaysia's introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), although unpopular, was the right decision in view of changing economic circumstances, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said it would have been easier not to introduce GST, as what appeared to be a new tax — even though it replaced an older one — could seem to be a disruptive.
