Citizens must not be burdened by enforcement of expanded SST


MCA Youth urges the government to seriously reconsider the manner in which it is implementing the expanded Sales and Services Tax (SST). The confusion we are currently witnessing is not just a matter of poor coordination; it is a matter of public trust and economic fairness.

The government must answer a very simple yet critical question: is the expanded SST enforcement to be based on what is officially written in the Government Gazette, or on verbal explanations given by the Finance Ministry’s spokespersons? This lack of clarity is unacceptable in tax policy, especially one that affects the daily cost of living for ordinary Malaysians.
