Government Agencies Asked To Enhance Clarification On GST Before Implementation
HULU TERENGGANU, Dec 13 (Bernama) -- Government agencies involved in
channelling information on the implementation of the Goods and Services
Tax (GST) are asked to intensify briefing programmes and go down to the
target groups before the date of enforcement in April next year.
Deputy Minister of Communications and Multimedia Datuk Jailani Johari said it was important for government agencies and community leaders to understand in depth the subject matter before giving explanation to the public besides making efforts to curb the negative perception played up by the opposition.
He said that agencies under his ministry such as the media department of Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), Information Department and the Special Affairs Department (JASA) were actively going down explaining to the people on the matter with the collaboration of the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry.
"On the part of the KKMM (Ministry of Communications and Multimedia) itself, efforts at disseminating and channelling information on the GST in the various media are being actively carried out and hopefully within the next few months, our understanding on the GST as consumers can be enhanced and give the desired effects," he said.
Jailani, who is also the member of parliament for Hulu Terengganu, said this to Bernama after opening the programme 'Kuasa Pengguna 1Pengguna 1Suara' to tackle the rising cost of living, near here today.
The GST will be enforced on April 1, 2015 following the announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also the Finance Minister, when tabling the Budget 2014.
