No need to bring back GST for now - Shahar 

The government has not reached a stage where it would need to reintroduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST), said Deputy Finance Minister I Mohd Shahar Abdullah.

He attributed this to the national economy's strong recovery momentum, with 6.9 percent growth in the first half of this year, which was supported by increased domestic and foreign demand, as well as labour market recovery.
