Tourism, Transport ministries in talks over which should regulate tour vehicles
KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry is discussing with the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry the possibility of allowing the latter to regulate tour vehicles, including buses. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah said discussions were still at a preliminary stage and involved multiple ministries due to the complexities surrounding vehicle regulation. "That matter is still at the discussion stage between ministries, as there are still many aspects that need to be looked into. "Regulating tour buses, as you can imagine, involves a lot of procedures such as testing and so on, which require thorough discussion," he said briefly when met after attending Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd's Jelajah Ria 2.0 Programme. Yesterday, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry had called for control over tourism-related vehicles such as buses to be returned to it, citing a loss of confidence in Malaysian road safety among various countries. It had said in a statement that parties involved in tourism and student exchange programmes from Asean, the Middle East, China, Japan and South Korea had expressed their concerns to the ministry. It had said there was a lack of confidence in Malaysia's tourism transport safety assurance mechanisms among these countries following the bus crash in Gerik which saw 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students killed and many others injured. "We will continue to monitor those with prior offences who remain defiant. We don't sweep such matters under the carpet," said Hasbi.

Defer SST expansion, businesses need more time, says FMM
The finance ministry said the 0% sales tax rate for basic necessities would be maintained while a 5% to 10% rate would be imposed on non-essential goods from July 1. PETALING JAYA : The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM) has called on the government to defer the implementation of the expanded sales and service tax (SST), citing insufficient preparation time and concerns over the scale of the expansion. Noting that the July 1 date left companies less than three weeks to prepare, FMM said the tight timeframe created unnecessary pressure on businesses even though no penalties would be enforced for non-compliance until Dec 31. 'Many newly impacted manufacturers, particularly those previously not registered under SST, require more time to prepare and comply,' it said in a statement today. The finance ministry had said the 0% sales tax rate for basic necessities would be maintained while a 5% to 10% rate would be imposed on non-essential goods from July 1. Meanwhile, the service tax will be expanded to include rent, lease, construction, financial services, private healthcare, and education. 'This expansion however will come with some exemptions to avoid double taxation and ensure that Malaysians are not taxed for certain services,' said finance minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan. The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia had also requested an extension, saying the short notice period did not provide sufficient time for private healthcare facilities to make the necessary operational adjustments. Similarly, the Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia called on the government to raise the SST threshold or exempt micro and small enterprises to protect them from financial pressure when the revised tax starts. FMM also called for a broader exemption list, particularly for capital expenditure items such as machinery and equipment used in production. 'Taxing these inputs will directly affect investment decisions, industrial upgrading, and long-term competitiveness. '(The expansion of the SST marks) a major structural shift from a previously narrower tax base to one where nearly all categories, including industrial and commercial inputs, are now taxable,' it said.
