Thread (with video yay!): Breakdown of perdebatan GST v SST antara YBM @guanenglim dan YB @Khairykj di Parlimen semalam.

This perfectly shows why we should #KekalkanGST.

Please - watch this, then tweet @ PH.
Show them that the rakyat understand - they need to hear our voice!

Bab 1: Original question from KJ.

1) KJ kata kadar GST boleh dikurangkan, dan lebih 'exemption' diberi, supaya 'end-outcome' sama dengan SST.
2) Masalah sistem tuntutan perlu dan boleh diperbaiki.
3) Since LGE pun dah admit GST lebih efficient, kenapa nak mansuhkan GST?

Bab 2: LGE admits GST is more efficient

1) Kudos to LGE. He says "Malaysia baru, kita cakap benar".
2) In that spirit, he admits "GST lebih telus, lebih efisyen".
3) Jadi, benda teknikal tax cascading, supply chain visibility, etc tak payah gaduh dah. PH dah admit GST better.

Bab 3: LGE uses "tak mau bebankan rakyat" as excuse

1) LGE kata perlu fikir "kesejahteraan rakyat, bukan hasil semata²".
2) KJ bangun membidas - itu sebab dia kata adjust GST sampai hasilnya sama dgn SST.

Jangan tertipu dengan retorik "GST bebankan rakyat"! Ini memang salah.

Just nak celah.

LGE kata dalam Bab 3 - "Cukai yang baik (efisyen) = lebih banyak cukai dikutip".

Ini salah! KJ dah kata - adjust GST supaya hasilnya sama.

Bab 4: Hapuskan GST kerana mahu tunaikan janji

1) LGE admits GST can be adjusted. This contradicts his previous point that GST bebankan rakyat.
2) He then says it's against the principle of promising to abolish GST.

Now we know - ini semata² sbb janji, bukan sbb rasional/logik.

Bab 5: LGE brings up issue of slow GST claims

1) LGE kata sistem tuntutan tidak cekap walaupun KJ dah sebut dah tadi (Bab 1).
2) KJ tegaskan sekali lagi - sistem itu mmg perlu diperbaiki. Tetapi tidak perlu hapuskan GST.
3) LGE flustered. Sebut ini soal "amanah & kredibility".

Bab 6: LGE goes back to "bebankan rakyat" excuse

1) KJ highlights - this was a wrong promise. Also highlights LGE has admitted GST is better.
2) LGE goes back to "economic well-being". I don't know why - this point was already rebutted.
3) Concludes by saying "ini janji".

For those who missed the show (haha), here's the highlights:

1) LGE admits GST is more efficient - so don't need to fight about this dah.
2) LGE wrongly tries to use "bebankan rakyat" as a reason for no GST.
3) Eventually, it's clear that all this is because of janji manifesto.
