Sun Daily - Daim: I once proposed to introduce GST
![]()
Former cabinet minister Tun Daim Zainuddin admitted that he had once proposed to introduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) when he was in the government.
Daim, who was the former finance minister during Tun Mahathir's premiership, however stressed that his proposal at that time was meant to help the rakyat instead of burdening them.
He added that his idea to introduced GST was made after Malaysia had suffered financially due to an economic recession. [...]
Daim stressed that his version of GST was different from the one currently being implemented under the government of caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak.
He added the current GST was the main reason for the increase in the price of goods.
What startling marvellous news, that there are different versions of GST where Daim's version was meant to help the rakyat instead of burdening them whereas the current version is meant to burden the rakyat instead of helping them.
It's called Sunshine Bullsh*t GST.
