The former Treasury sec-gen says this would reduce the nation's dependence on oil revenue which is taking a hit.

Former Treasury secretary-general Irwan Serigar Abdullah has proposed that the government revive the goods and services tax next year at a lower rate.

"I propose that the GST be brought back next year so that we don't rely too much on oil prices," Irwan said during an online interview hosted by the Bandar Baru Bangi Online Community Facebook page. Irwan also proposed that the government embark on a restructuring exercise to redirect funds from non-people centric projects to those that the people need.

Why don't we start by chopping half of the bloated cabinet to cover the budget deficit? 70 Minister & Deputies and those Special Officers etc

Hahahaha...

What he plan is not relevant for this moment. GST is not mitigation, that previous government focus and you can see all Malaysian citizens not happy. Learn how Brunei government control their economy.

Time to dance again with sport shoes and jeans.

Penyamun ALERT!

Lakukan yang terbaik untuk negara

Does this guy need extra money to maintain his harem?

At least he’s right to tell that there is no free money. Debt got to be repaid - rakyat selalunya kena. Growing up, I was proud about bersih, cekap & amanah. But, what have we seen?

Menyusahkan rakyat la

Jangan Bimbang Itu Salah Satu Jalan Nak Tambah Pendapatan Kerajaan.. Akan Tetap Dilaksanakan Cukai Kasih Sayang Kembali

Secara logiknya kerajaan akan berbuat sesuatu bagi mengurang defisit especially duit2 yg belanjankan utk mslh COVID19 dan bantuan2 yg telah diberikan. Negara perlu dana utk brkmbang, dan dana itu pastinya dari tax, dan sebahagian adalah tax yg brkaitan consumer. StayHome

Asalkan Umno-BN jadi kerajaan, Rakyat kena tipu. Running dogs of Cash is King Grand Master NajibRazak are back to use GST to rob beggars and homeless to subsidize their own lives and the lives of their aristocrats and warlords and running dogs. Kerajaan prihatin my foot.

Let them do as they wish. That's what majority wants. As long as these people get single R&R govt they're happy. No eye see.

Aha! I was wondering when the government will be bringing in GST to help Mak Cik Kiah..😄

Apa apa menari duluuuuu irwann

serigala's back

GST means 2MDB coming..

This f***er should shut his mouth.... he’s only free from any criminal charges due to technical complication to charge him.

This is how motta rajendran will look like if he puts on weight

This corrupt imbecile shall not make a comeback, MuhyiddinYassin dhzhamzah .

Even the thief who maintained many Red Files for the Kleptocrat and cheated businesses of GST refunds now daring to find a voice to speak up. This thief should have been denied bail too but everything is too late now.

Penyamung sdh mula bersuara...mana lobai2 maufakat penyamung penjual agama pasgok nk keluar kn fatwa baru x...?
