nothing stopping gov from having GST higher specifically for alcohol or pork or car.

It's just that SST applied at vendor level, not consumer level for most items.
Therefore, 5% SST on your 5 bucks worth of carrot would not be 25 cents. It could be 20 cents only assuming retailer bought from wholesaler/farmer at RM4 for same amount.

That being said...... I still have to pay fucking SST for roti I bought at Hero Market bakery.... but not Hero market supermarket....
padahal they bake in the same place....owned by the same company... just sold at different corners of the same building.....  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

My employer sells googs and services, but only pay SST for services.

To get around SST, just bundle service into goods.
