PARLIAMENT | Putrajaya should avoid burdening the rakyat with high sales and service tax (SST) rates, said Bung Moktar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan).

While the Sabah BN chief acknowledged that taxes are a necessary measure for the government to generate revenue and implement transformative developments, he argued that such levies should not be imposed at a rate that would put further pressure on the rakyat.
