PETALING JAYA: Common imported fruits such as apples, oranges and pears are everyday staples for Malaysians and should not be subjected to a 5% sales tax, says Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin.
The Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd managing director said Malaysia does not produce enough fruit to meet local demand, making imports essential to ensure a consistent supply.
