Too many poor people with large families.

Hello. They consume more la.

Imagine Milo. Rich and poor also buy.

The difference is the Milo lasted longer for the rich fella with smaller families compared to the poor fella with large families.

And essential or not, prices will go up because of added cost to do business like transportation, office expenses and etc.

If a Milo 1kg is 25 bucks, don't tell me it will remain 25 bucks after GST. As per last time, the price actually went up by 2-3 bucks.

And rich fella probably buy every 2-3 months compared to the poor fella every 2-3 weeks. So, who consume more?

Because Milo is very common for everyone and easier to understand for layman.

U expecting the poor to downgrade to fake chocolate drink? They also don't want la.

Whether the business take advantage or not is the issue. Other costs will go up during GST like last time.

How about expenses for new accounting software and extra cost to hire staff to handle the GST calculations and payments. These expenses made business more expensive after GST implementation. Surely, u don't expect the business owners to absorb the cost completely? Perhaps after 10 years or so, they may but the first few years, everything will be expensive.

Of course, GST is a fairer tax because everyone pays from sick, old, illegal, young and even dying but unlike other countries, it is almost impossible to satisfy everyone especially since tax collections is quite low in MY. MY simply has too many poor people not paying taxes or not even qualified to pay at all.

That's you but others may not agree with u nor have the time to make their own chocolate drink. It is simply easier to just buy from the shelf.

True but it doesn't work here.

It may eventually but as the gomen is quite unstable, politicians also afraid of losing power because of unpopular decisions.
