We are outraged with the BN Government for announcing their decision to go ahead with the regressive Goods and Services Tax or GST as announced by the Prime Minister.
We believe the tax, if implemented, will
i. Further increase the income disparity of the rich and poor
ii. Create a high level of inflation which will further burden the majority of the people
iii. Bring more hardship to the majority of the people and bring down their standard of living
We call upon the Government:
i. To immediately stop any plans to implement the GST
ii. To implement the Minimum Wage Act to safeguard the interest of workers, the poor and the marginalized.
iii. To stop the privatisation of all basic needs and to ensure that they are affordable for the poor
We call upon all those who care for justice and social solidarity to protest against this neo-liberal attack against the people and sign this petition.

Enough is enough. focus on the minimum wage instead of taxing us to death.
TOTAL BULLSHIT. The rich get richer and we suffer.
We are already struggling to survive month to month. GST is just going to make everything way more expensive for everyone.
cost of living is killing us in KL. please have some mercy on the rakyat.
Already cant afford groceries now they want to take more from us. Stop this madness.
GST is a burden!
GST is a burden!

Fix the corruption first before asking for more money from the people. Sick of this.
