Apples and oranges get SST exemption after public complaints


PUTRAJAYA: The government has decided to exempt apples and oranges from the Sales and Services Tax (SST) but Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim still feels it is better for people to eat a local banana a day instead of apples.

However, since many people, including the B40, eat imported apples and oranges, which are usually cheaper than other imported fruits, these fruits will get an exemption.
