Feeling the pain of paying GST on healthcare


THE pain of paying RM1,200 in GST for healthcare is real for Sabah MP Datuk Jumat Idris. He took to Facebook to vent his anger at having to pay a hefty medical bill because of GST after his son received treatment at a private medical centre.

It is a blessing in disguise that his case was highlighted. Like Jumat, most parents would want the best for their children. I hope his child is well now.
