GST to boost government revenue

Implementing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is one of the ways to boost government revenue, so the support of the 1.2 million government employees is by far needed.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak stressed on the importance of implementing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as one of the ways to boost government revenue.

He said, that is why GST is important. People want higher wages but not willing to support GST.

He needs the support of the 1.2 million government employees. If Civil servants want to be paid better in the future, he has to strengthen the government’s revenue base because otherwise, where does he get the money to pay government servants?

He said that as long as productivity goes up, their wages would be adjusted in tandem with a stronger economy.

“Their wages will be adjusted as we go along. What is important is that when the economy gets stronger, government revenue gets stronger,” he said.

He said that by getting the support of all civil servants, it would enable the government to work out better deals for the people.
