Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 29.9.2016. <\/p>\n
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), Malaysia has slipped seven places to be ranked 25th out of 140 countries in the Global Competitiveness Report 2016-2017, compared to last year where it was placed 18th out of 138 countries. There is a new urgency needed to abolish GST not only to save the economy for small businesses and wage earners but also restore Malaysia\u2019s competitiveness that dropped by 38% this year from 18th to 25th.<\/p>\n
Malaysia is an economy in trouble. The ringgit has continued to weaken, brought about by lower oil prices and global corruption like the 1MDB and donation scandals. Economic growth has slowed from 5% last year to 4%. Worse, despite having a 4% economic growth rate, GST collection has declined by RM3.1 billion or 30% from RM10.2 billion in 1Q2016 to RM7.1 billion in 2Q2016.<\/p>\n
The latest 38% drop in global competitiveness ranking must be particularly galling and painful for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. The Prime Minister would always make it a point to highlight in his annual Budget Speech in Parliament how the World Economic Forum(WEF) lauds Malaysia\u2019s competitiveness and economic performance. Now even the WEF has abandoned him.<\/p>\n
The time has come for the Prime Minister to admit that he was mistaken to implement the GST when Malaysians were not ready for it, especially when unlike Singapore, Malaysia is not a high-income country. Najib has no choice. Apart from abolishing the GST, what other measures can effectively can save our competititveness, our economy and put money back into the ordinary rakyat?<\/p>\n
