Prime Minister emphasises need for income increase before GST implementation


PETALING JAYA: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will only be implemented once Malaysians’ income levels rise to a more comfortable threshold, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“I agree it is the most transparent, efficient system. All the big companies want GST. But please remember, I said yes, but let the level of income, the threshold, rise up first,” he said.
