... written on Oct 08 2019If Mahathir unilaterally brings back the GST (Goods and Services Tax), it will be the clearest confirmation that the new government of Pakatan Harapan (PH) under his leadership is the world’s greatest “U-Turn Government”. And they will suffer the same defeat – guaranteed – in the next general election the same way the old government […]
