8% SST, removal of diesel subsidy will burden Sabahans, says Warisan VP


KOTA KINABALU: The move to raise service tax and remove diesel subsidies under Budget 2024 is a recipe for hardship for Sabahans, says Parti Warisan vice-president Datuk Junz Wong.

He said the proposed sales and services tax (SST) increase from 6% to 8%, particularly for the logistics services, was a cause for concern as it would inevitably lead to price hikes across the board for goods and services in Sabah that was already grappling with a high cost of living.
