‘Where are findings of RM51mil GST panel?’


6:07PM Jun 30, 2013

Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong is demanding the government to disclose the findings of a RM51 million panel to study the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

“Pakatan Rakyat and the citizens of Malaysia do not want the government to hide the GST study because it involves the welfare of many people,” he said in a statement today.

He also urged the government to name the consultants engaged to conduct the study.

Liew (left) was responding to Finance Minister (II) Husni Hanadzlah’s statement in Parliament on Thursday that a study on GST was last conducted in 2009 and thereforeanother study is necessary because the economic situation has since changed.

He pointed out that the government has allocated RM22 million for a ‘Panel Kajian Semula Cukai (GST)‘ (Tax Review Panel (GST)) under the 2010 national budget.

Another RM13 million was allocated in 2011, RM11 million in 2012, and finally RM5 million in 2013 budgets. The total comes to RM51 million.
