GE14 | The Goods & Services Tax (GST) is not only affecting household spending, but has also stolen the thunder out of DAP’s ‘poster war’ with BN ahead of next week’s 14th general election.

Speaking at a press conference in his Kuching headquarters today, Sarawak DAP chairperson Chong Chieng Jen admitted to reporters that the party is not able to match BN banner for banner, as the cost of producing election paraphernalia has increased due to GST.

“On account of this, we are unable to match our limited election paraphernalia against BN’s, especially in the poster war in this election,” he said.
