Yes, Barisan Nasional has chickened out on the proposed new legislation on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) which was intended to be tabled in parliament for approval in the current sitting. This makes our new Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, who's celebrating his one-year anniversary next month as the country's premier, a bigger flip-flop than our previous prime minister.
To date, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, despite having the motto of "performance now", has already reversed 3 key policies on the real property gains tax (RPGT), the tiered fuel subsidy scheme and now the GST. Worse, he has also delayed the announcements over the restructuring of tolled highways and his much "anticipated" New Economic Model, not once, but multiple times. The indecisiveness of the current administration is uncanny and certainly serves for juicy political analysis.
Yes, the GST Bill is now "postponed", but the economic issues affecting Malaysia (and the reasons why GST won't solve them remains). So come hear how the Government has completely lost the plot on the economy.

If he had gone ahead, I am sure GST will be the last straw that broke the camel's back and Pakatan will not have to move a finger towards settling into Putrajaya.
Seems like the rakyat is being squeesed at every turn, much like the frog in a pot of slow boiling water with the heat turned up or lowered when the frog gets used to a higher threshold of pain. The high cost of corruption has eaten into our cost of living while the salaries stagnated. BN only know how to steal from the rakyat.

Najib did not postphone GST bill because of PR. He postphoned it because his own constituent did not support him - the political warlords and the business groups.
Its a perfect example of how Najib support from his followers is wafer thin. It also show how the people he rely own are limited in moving real agenda. Its why he is doomed to fail because he does not have an agenda that enough people buy in for enough time.
That does not mean to rid of him that easily. In the end, anti-GST is not enough if oil price goes up. Its the achilles heel squeezing the money away from UMNO/BN.
Now we need to look for where Najib is NOT spending enough to put the squeeze on. For example the teachers, scholarships, infrastructure etc. He is pouring money into Sabah and Sarawak and some people are being neglected perhaps in Terengganu or Negeri Sembilan or other places. Its time to look for that and squeeze harder. Its also time to look for where BN people need money the likes of MCA, MIC, Selangor UMNO, Penang UMNO, Kedah and Perak. There is stealing going on and PR need to find it.
Tony,
I wonder who's PMs advisers? How did they even think of implementing GST when most of Malaysians are NOT high income earners...?
Apco also not doing any purpose for them at all. What a waste of $$$$$$$$ (ours)!
Our PM.... What else can I say of the way he runs our country??
Sigh.................
The reasons for our country to be in current state of financial/economy crisis are simply understood. 1stly---Corruption by UMNO and the cronies had eaten so much wealth from this country and it is continuing to happen. This golden goose has no more eggs to lay, so UMNO/BN has to find other means ... and GST is one of the means to their end!! 2ndly---look at the zillions of money being paid to the royal families who basically contributed nothing to the country; may be not even paying taxes!! Look at those petitions submitted to the monarchy but with zero response/action. Look at how Perak State government was robbed by BN from Pakatan. Look at how the speech was delivered by Agung in Parliament 2 days ago ..... and so on. Can't you smell something fishy?? 3rdly ...on and on!! This country is now in deep shit. Not only our leaders are robbers/burglars/blood-sucker with indefinite greed, our monarch or king or sultans no longer play the role of loving and protecting the people!! So sad, Malaysia!!
This is a real damn stupid GST tax. It's day light robbery.
Why people still want to elect this kind of people to be leadership.
Currently sales tax is only 10% accross the board and only for 1 time.
This coming new tax structure is 4%+4%+4% = 12% !!!
Why? 4% tax on manufacturer, 4% tax on distributor and 4% from consumer.
Actually it is more than 12%. Because 1st 4% is of A, 2nd 4% is of B, another 4% is of C.
Do you notice that value of A, B & C is increasing after go through the distribution (& processing) channel?
How about if the product is sold through many traders, let say 6 hands involves? is it 4+4+4+4+4+4=24%????
Ai yoo, how come we have so many clowns around try to fool us.
What do you say, friend.

apa mau kecoh kecoh...itu PM not proceed GST...okla diam2... kalau PM proceed GST baru kita bising.....
Ini GST not proceed kita bising....kalu proceed lagi bising

at least the GST is scrapped
we surely strongly opposed GST
The bloody Americans and Israelis in APCO is screwing up the country.
oi idiots - when the govt wanted to implement the GST, u all make noise. When they decided not to carry out this GST plan, u said they chickened out.
What the hell's the matter with u? Buat pun salah, tak buat pun salah.
Bodoh la u all ni...
BN has mis-managed.
so i increase the interest rate every two months
"Why Did Najib Panic On GST?"
Simple. Not rocket science. It's a sure vote loser!!
dpp
We are all of 1 race, the Human Race
I can think of one poster that can bury BN.
GST - GASAK SEMUA TAX
YB Tony,
I do not fully disagree with GST, but support with conditions.
1) First increase the efficiency & effectiveness of government service.
2) Second, reduce the corruption and leakage. I use the word "reduce", because I really no confident the government can do it.
I do not know this simple 2 things, can our government do it?
Today I went to JPJ. The way I saw them performed their duties, really make me disappointed. They can joke and eat while customers is there, I am their customer but their attitude seem they are my "boss". Why they dare to do so? I strongly believe is lack of training and superior not strict enough. This is the lower site of the government, how about the state to the federal government?
Don't talk about GST before you can settle the leakage????
I willing to pay tax, but the service that I receive, I really not happy.
If this kind of service keep on moving forward, sooner will more peoples leave my lovely country MALAYSIA.
Dear Law8020, you should not calculate according to that.
1)If a wood worth RM100, it sell to manufacture, the price is RM104.
2) Manufacture sell to shop RM200, GST should be RM8, but the manufacture only pay RM4 to government.
It must deduct the GST incurred.
to implement GST, will be the end of BN in next election, with world crude oil is uptrend, Najib can now afford to delay GST implementation for now. Poor petronas,they will be BN ATM machine to support Najib BN govt spendings.
Actually, BN has painted themselves into a corner for implementing one sided contracts in the 90's. Now they r paying for it as what was a good idea to bleed the tax payers money in the past is now beyond their control and they will be paying for it (i hope).
Now they don't dare to do anything negative as it will make the ship sink even faster than it is currently.
Najib and his so called financial wizards do not have a clue on the scale of economics!. It is just as simple as that. With the plundering going on day in and day out by the elites, their families and cronies, the layman is eating crumbs and sipping 'drain water'.
Increase the GDP of the average worker and then you can talk about GST. Until then you put the GST in mothballs. Simple Elementary Watson!
