Many developed countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Australia had been implementing the GST. At the early stage of the introduction of GST, many people from various income classes would be disagree as they perceived that the prices of the basics needs as well as many items would increase. The national budget of Malaysia 2014 had been tabled in Parliament on 27 October 2013 proposing that GST would be implemented commencing on 1 April 2015 at 6% which is 2% higher than expected.
