Solve prepaid problem once and for all

EARLY last week, the Customs Department director-general announced that telcos had been directed to revert the prices of prepaid top-up cards to pre-GST rates. A few hours later, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) responded that it was “near impossible” to make the change in two days due to “systems re-configuration issues”.

As such, nearly 24 hours after making the earlier announcement, the Customs Department has had to indefinitely hold back on its directive.
