The GST Vs Minimum Wage Argument

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has hinted that the implementation of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) might be linked to an increase in the minimum wage. Dr Carmelo Ferlito, CEO of the Centre for Market Education, discusses the issue of tying the consumption tax seen as a more efficient and transparent system, to how much Malaysians earn.
