PAS believes Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Hasan Malek should be a 'comedian' for his “shocking statement” that that people already understand and accept the goods and services tax (GST).

“I am astonished with the statement made by the minister, for this is self-gratification (syok sendiri) and denies the harsh reality that is being faced by the people,” PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar said in a statement today.
