Ahmad Maslan declines invitation to debate on GST
GEORGE TOWN: Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad
Maslan has made it clear that he will not debate on
the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which has been
implemented throughout the whole country, with the
Penang PKR Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) youth wing.
Citing the invitation from the wing, he said there
are plenty of ways that he can use to explain the
issues involved to the people and need not
necessarily explain the issue to the opposition on
their own turf.
"I am not afraid to debate
(the issues) with them but I have so many other
avenues to clear the air over the GST.
"If I am standing on their stage, the exact facts
will be spun in all types of manners, and I will not
fall into their trap," he told a press conference. |

He was asked by reporters
after the state PKR Youth wing had issued a challenge to
him to clear the air over the tax regime which has been
implemented since April 1.
Ahmad said that he has so many other channels to clarify
the GST to the people since he made his presence in
Permatang Pauh, adding that he does not need the
opposition stage to explain the tax system.
