No need for govt to reintroduce GST at this point, says Deputy Finance Minister I


SIBU: The government has not reached a stage where it would need to reintroduce the goods and services tax (GST), says Datuk Mohd Shahar Abdullah (pic).

The Deputy Finance Minister I said this was attributed to the strong recovery momentum of the national economy with a growth of 6.9% in the first half of this year and supported by increased domestic and foreign demand as well as the labour market recovery.
