I DIDN’T manage to perform my duty to vote in the recent general election as I was on holiday in Australia. However, my wife and two children were early birds in delivering their votes on May 9 in Ipoh. Obviously, their hopes to see a better future for all Malaysians through the ballot box have been fulfilled.

In the past couple of years, I have highlighted in the media the importance of implementing the goods and services tax (GST) on several occasions.
