(2) Why start.if at all,the GST at the rate of 6%?That`s too hefty during the so-called familiarisation phase, and taking into account the rakyat`s current economic woes.Why not start conservatively, say at 2-3%, and gradually, over time, step it up?A RM 1-2 price or cost rise may not mean much to some, but truly, it means really a lot to most folks these days.It may mean the difference between having just rice and plain curry, or with just a small ,simple fish thrown into the curry for protein!Think of that.And it`s no use saying now that special BRIM, etc will help soothen the pain.It`s like caning a child, and thereafter offering him some ointment to soothe the bruises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-16697538290459496692015-05-06T17:10:53.929+08:002015-05-06T17:10:53.929+08:00I'm a Chinese who voted for PAS and dumped UMN...I'm a Chinese who voted for PAS and dumped UMNO in the last GE. A vowed not to vote PAS ever again not so much of Hudud, but more on the pariah behavior of its leaders who are absolutely lacking in principle and honor in dealing with its PR partners. This is so blatantly obvious that any Chinese worth his salt would pulk in their presence.
