PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak says implementing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was the hardest decision he ever had to make since he became prime minister in 2009.

"Introducing GST was one of the hardest decisions I have made. I knew that it would lead to increases in the prices of some goods and services, and that it would be painful for some Malaysians," Najib said in a statement on Monday (May 7).
