Pre-paid GST and 1MDB Deals: Who Really Wins?

P. Gunasegaram, the Joint CEO and Founding Editor of KINIBIZ join the Morning Run crew to dissect the issue of GST levied on prepaid mobile reloads. Is the cabinet decision on the matter truly a “win-win situation” for consumers and the government? 

Guna also discusses the recent TRX land deals between 1MDB with Tabung Haji and KWAP. He questions why 1MDB is selling land at its crown jewel TRX while also looking at disposing its power assets, and if these deals are a bailout for the financially-ailing 1MDB.
