By imposing GST on them you are making life very hard as those are essentials to even poor ppl unless they don't need to eat. In contrast in Msia forum I read their govt do not impose GST on essentials and that is good for the ppl.I suspect that the MIW will say that it is difficult not to impose GST on essentials, therefore they had proposed that all things irregardless is to be GST taxed...it is such a lame excuse.....

Some policies their official statement is case by case basis which mean it can be done just they want to do or not.

what hurts is everyone's jacking up the prices even before GST hike during 2020 and 2021 when COVID was at its heights, and also now when everyone is jacking up the prices further due to international factors
then companies are cutting cost, turning stingy, no increment no bonus whatsoever, when you find jobs all the unprofessional HR dont give a fk about your work experience, only want to suppress your salaries to help the companies save cost, give you maximum 10% on top of your last drawn is already super benevolent
