Dr Sim on the GST

suppadmin | April 6, 2015

Commenting on the implementation of a new tax system since Merdeka is never an easy process for the government.

But the President of SUPP says that there should be no question of hiccups and confusion. The enforcement must be compassionate as some traders are bound to make unintentional mistakes.

What is important is the underlying principle to benefit the rakyat and at the same time ensuring that no one evade or minimize the paying of tax.

Dr Sim however strongly feels that the people of Sarawak, who are very much dependent on air transport not just due to poor road transport/networking, but also the sheer distance between towns, should not be burden with the 6% GST for domestic flights.

“It is not too late as we must have the courage to made adjustment and changes. Only about 10 days ago during the BN Presidential meeting, when the oncology drug was highlighted to YAB PM by me, we are glad to be informed that the drug will be exempted,” Sim added.
