KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has defended his decision to propose a tax on luxury goods in Budget 2023 by pointedly asking critics where else the government should look to generate revenue.
“I didn’t hear any of the MPs ask for stern action be taken against those who are ultra-rich. They just know how to ridicule us. “So, I suggested to tax luxury goods. Even that is disagreeable. I don’t know where they want to collect taxes and revenue if they become government,” Anwar told Parliament today during his winding up speech for Budget 2023.
Ismail Sabri, who is also Umno’s Bera MP, said the implementation of the tax could discourage foreign tourists who prefer to shop from coming to the country.
