Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh, UMNO Youth Chief, voiced concerns over the proposed 5% Sales and Service Tax (SST) expansion, warning it will raise prices of essentials like santan and biscuits. He fears a domino effect on the economy, impacting ordinary Malaysians, not just the wealthy. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim defended the SST, claiming it targets imported fruits like avocados, consumed by the rich. However, Akmal argues santan and biscuits are staples for the poor, and the tax could burden all citizens, regardless of status, as costs ripple through the market.
