PM Anwar: GST not suitable now, would burden the poor
LUMUT — The government is not ready to reintroduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as it would affect all segments of society, particularly the poor, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said GST is a broad-based tax that would be applied uniformly to all consumers, regardless of income, including fishermen, smallholders, or street cleaners. 'GST taxes everybody. While it is efficient and straightforward, just six per cent across the board, I must ask, if everyone has to pay six per cent, why should the poor and the unemployed be taxed as well?' he said when closing the Perak MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 here today. Anwar said that although the opposition has suggested GST as a better option, the government has chosen to postpone its implementation to avoid burdening the people, who are still struggling with the rising cost of living. 'That's why we say we're not ready for GST. If, one day, the economy improves and the minimum wage reaches RM4,000 or more, then by all means, implement GST. But for now, I'm calling for it to be postponed, don't turn it into a political issue,' he said. –BERNAMA

Malaysia Backs Iran's Right to Retaliate, Says PM Anwar
LUMUT: Malaysia upholds the sovereign rights of all nations, including Iran, which was the victim of a recent Israeli attack, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said Malaysia, as a sovereign nation, must stand with Iran in its act of retaliation against Israel, to defend its rights and national dignity. 'That is why I told my Cabinet colleagues, Malaysia must demonstrate its strength. We are an independent, sovereign nation, and we must stand up for the rights of our friends, including Iran, which has been wronged. We defend Iran's right to retaliate in order to uphold its national dignity,' he said. The Prime Minister said this at the closing ceremony of the Perak MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025, at Lumut Waterfront, here, today. On Friday, the Israeli military launched airstrikes on Iran, targeting several nuclear and missile facilities, resulting in the deaths of several Iranian military commanders and senior scientists. In retaliation, Iran fired ballistic missiles at multiple locations in Israeli-occupied territory, causing fatalities, injuries, and damage to buildings. According to a report by Iran's Tasnim news agency, cited by Anadolu Ajansi (AA), Israel launched another attack early Sunday morning, targeting the Iran's Defence Ministry headquarters in Tehran. Anwar also commended Iran's resilience in developing its capabilities across various sectors, including the military, despite facing prolonged economic sanctions. 'Iran continues to conduct research and instill discipline among its youth, to pursue knowledge in fields such as artificial intelligence (as several parties) refuse to cooperate... yet Iran has managed to progress,' he said. 'Iran's anti-ballistic missile systems are even capable of reaching Tel Aviv, in retaliation against Israel,' he added. At the same time, Anwar criticised the stance of many European countries, which condemned Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel. 'Many European nations criticised and express outrage against Iran. But when Israel launched its attacks, they remained silent... I do not share that view,' he said. 'Alhamdulillah, the leadership of the MADANI Government continues to uphold the principle of defending the rights and sovereignty of all nations,' he added.
