High cost of living still the bane of Malaysians

BEFORE the 14th General Election, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was blamed for causing prices of goods to spiral. Promises were made during the GE14 election campaigns to abolish GST so that prices would come down.

It’s been nine months since we have a new government in place and GST has been abolished, but most of us continue to struggle to keep up with the high cost of living.
