Wrong move by Pmx/Fm. From the very beginning supposed to introduce GST first instead of touching any subsidies. From the GST Revenue then only determine any requirement to rationalize any subsidies. Now price hike & cost of living high. Everything gone haywire. Not qualified to hold the position.

GST will create more beggars.
Don't compare with other countries because there they don't practice discrimination or racism and provide clutches. GST is find money to fund ever increasing clutches.

GST was introduced in Malaysia in 2015, it coincide of massive $50B siphoning through 1mdb CORRUPTION. Even the money collected from GST went missing and cost of daily goods/necessity went up

Its not about race. Its about politicians not having the academic qualification capability but dare to hold a position where he is not qualified. Check Pmx and LHY education background holding Finance Ministry. Unlike Singapore. PM Lawrence is an economist.

No guts to re-enforce GST although down-deep inside, our leaders know that is the right way forward. Perhaps, Malaysians (common people including governing and opposition leaders) need to shed the "kampung-mentality" to understand this better. The right TOOL must be used correctly to see the outcome desired. Similiarly GST as a tool must be implemented correctly to achieve the desired outcome, ie the rate must also be just --- too low a rate will not bring us anywhere; too high a rate will be a burden to the rakyat!

GST is the best tax any Govt can implement. Our main problem, which many so-called tax experts didnt know is we have 3 categories of GST, zero, exempt and standard rates. Thats makes input taxes calculation so complex that most gave up unless you are big companies and can hire additional staff to handle it.So, most companies just add all the GST paid to their products instead of calculating the right input taxes to claim back from Custom. The solution is just have one standard rate and all your input taxes just deduct from your GST payable to arrive at net GST. For the poor, the Govt can continue to pay them monthly allowances , like what they are doing with diesel. The govt should also reduces all taxes for vehicles dramatically ( we have probably the highest vehicles' taxes in the developing countries) but gives no more subsidies for petrol.Then it becomes an operating expenses for vehicles' owners instead of capital expenditures upfront.You then borrow less for vehicles and keep your cash for other purposes, like pumping in petrol.

I agree with most of the comment, implementation is the problem.

To answer the question correctly (how to reduce deficit), my answer always is
1. sell all GLC (through tender or some transparent process but not so-called privatise).
2. reduce size of government.

The amateur analysts all say increase income but in fact the government always just spend more.

Najib's budget was 300b, LGE increased to 330b+, Muy 370b, now easily over 400b but we didn't feel any better.

In fact the government need not to decrease fuel subsidy, just need to add another pump for drum filing at market price to isolate and then enforce it.
