00:00The SST sales and sales tax has been expanded

00:06but only the salmon and avocado

00:10has been announced.

00:12The people ask, why are they burdened with so many taxes?

00:19There are so many taxes, Ladies and Gentlemen

00:22There is a digital sales tax,

00:25there is a low value goods tax,

00:27there is a capital gains tax, there is a high value goods tax, and there is an increase in the airfield tax.

00:36That's it. There are so many taxes that I read earlier.

00:40There is also an e-invoice.

00:43The implementation will be fully started on July 1, 2025.

00:49Everything is on the shoulders of the people.

00:56On the shoulders of the people.

00:58Isn't this a burden?

01:00Is it true that the combined sales and sales tax that has been implemented is in line with the GST 2.0?

01:09I want to ask, after there is an e-invoice, all the sales and sales tax and the SST that has been expanded,

01:17is this actually going to reach the GST 2.0?

01:26I want to ask.

01:28Or I will read a poem.

01:32If there is a famine, say there is a famine.

01:35If there is no people, say there is no people.

01:39If there is, say there is.

01:43If there is no people, say there is.

01:48Tell us. Just say it.

01:51I want to say something.

01:53Jaruk, please say something.

01:55Jaruk, you are in the middle.

01:57Thank you, Jaruk.

01:59Many taxes will be burdened on the shoulders of the people.

02:02Not the shoulders, the shoulders.

02:04The shoulders of the people.

02:06But do you agree, Jaruk, that today's workers have already bankrupted the idea to find capital to save on expenses?

02:15Because of that, they are burdening the people with various kinds of taxes.

02:19What is your opinion, Jaruk? Thank you.

02:21Yes, Jaruk, a little about the e-invoice and GST.

02:24The Minister of Finance can answer.

02:27What is this burden?

02:29Because there is no other idea.

02:31That is what I am waiting to ask.

02:33Please answer.

02:35I want to say something about the dividend tax.

02:43The dividend tax was introduced on...

02:51Your Honour.

02:54Your Honour.

02:56I have a point of order.

02:58What burden is this?

03:01What burden is this, Your Honour?

03:05Your Honour.

03:06Let me finish my point of order first.

03:08Your Honour.

03:10Earlier, you said that the government wants to implement the e-invoice,

03:15but we want to implement GST 2.0.

03:17This is confusing, Your Honour.

03:19Because the Prime Minister has announced that we will not implement GST.

03:23And don't confuse e-invoice with GST.

03:26Please.

03:27E-invoice is a different system.

03:29GST is a different system.

03:31I don't understand Malay.

03:33I don't understand.

03:35Do you want to become a minister?

03:37Please sit down.

03:39Your Honour, please continue.
