BUKIT MERTAJAM: Water and electricity should be exempted from the two percentage point increase in sales and services tax (SST) just like food and beverages, parking and telecommunications charges, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
The MCA president said the planned hike in SST for both public utilities from the current 6% to 8% would lead to higher costs down the line and eventually increase the financial burden on consumers.
