MCA launches new service centre in JB to boost grassroots engagement
JOHOR BARU: MCA has launched a new service centre in Taman Perling to boost grassroots engagement and better serve local residents, particularly working adults who struggle to access assistance during regular hours.
The centre, led by Nicol Tan Hiang Kee, who also serves as an Iskandar Puteri City Council councillor, will operate by appointment to provide flexible support for community members seeking help with paperwork or local issues.
The centre was launched by MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon, who said the party's strength lies in its consistent service to the people, regardless of electoral outcomes.
'Serving the people has always been MCA's core principle. Whether we win or lose elections, our commitment remains unchanged,' he said during the event on Friday (June 27).
Ling praised party leaders such as Johor MCA deputy Youth chief Chua Jian Boon and Tan herself for continuing to serve their communities even after contesting unsuccessfully in previous elections.
He also noted that the new service centre reflects MCA's ongoing efforts to stay connected with the grassroots.
'Whether it's at coffee shops, markets, or wherever the people are, it is easy to find representatives from MCA.'
Addressing recent public concerns, Ling said MCA would continue to speak up on issues such as the expansion of the Sales and Service Tax and the SPM grade distinctions.
"Some policies may have inadvertently affected certain groups. That is when representatives must speak up," he said.

Dr Wee: Review expanded SST
PETALING JAYA: Apart from a longer list of goods taxable under the expanded Sales and Services Tax (SST), another major concern of the people is the tax on raw materials and machinery, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic). The MCA president said this will then set off a wave of price increases down the line, causing more pressure on the people. 'The SST brings a cascading effect because the raw materials and machinery will also be taxed after this. 'This silent inflation wave will surely be felt by all levels of society throughout the coming months,' said the Ayer Hitam MP in a Facebook video yesterday. He pointed out that back in 2018, more than 8,000 items were exempted from the SST. Under the expanded tax scheme set to take effect on July 1, the list has been significantly shrunk to only around 1,000 items, he said. He added that the expanded SST will not only apply to wellness and beauty-related services, it will also be applied to traditional products such as red dates, black fungus, dried longan and snow fungus. He stressed that many industries including rubber, plastics, medicine and oil palm, and the manufacturing sector have voiced their concerns about the expanded scheme as about 97% of goods in the market will be taxed. 'While we welcome the government's U-turn on the tax for imported fruits, it is not enough. 'The real issue and danger lies in the taxation of raw materials and industrial machinery,' he said. 'Politics aside, the people's welfare should be prioritised. It is better for the government to review the scheme or scrap it altogether,' he said, adding that the SST rate had already increased (from 6% to 8%) on March 1, last year. Dr Wee added that it was unfortunate that the expanded SST will start on July 1, the same day that the base electricity tariff and Port Klang tariffs are set to increase. 'The obvious solution for the government is still the GST, which is a fairer and more transparent taxation system. 'The main difference between both systems is that the GST taxes the end user – you use more, you pay more – while the SST taxes all levels of the supply chain and the end user has to pay a far higher price in the end,' he said. 'The GST ensures the stability and strength of the country while the SST will further burden the people and give businesses an excuse to raise prices,' he stressed. In announcing the expanded SST, the Finance Ministry said the measure is to strengthen the country's fiscal position by increasing revenue and broadening the tax base.

Smile, no SST for facials now
Haircut minus the guilt: Stylist Joseph Low cutting the hair of a client in Bandar Kinrara, Puchong. — AZHAR MAHFOF/The Star PETALING JAYA: Those going to beauty parlours can smile now –manicures, pedicures, facials and haircuts will remain exempted under the expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST). The government has issued a revised tax list, following public concern and feedback, to cushion the impact of the tax on the people and small businesses. In a broader move to manage cost-of-living pressures, the government will also exempt selected imported fruits – apples, oranges, mandarin oranges and dates – from the sales tax. The Finance Ministry said the decision was made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who also holds the finance portfolio, after taking into account widespread sentiment ahead of the SST expansion from July 1. The ministry, in a statement, reaffirmed that essential food items such as rice, chicken, beef, vegetables, eggs and various local fish – including selar (yellowtail scad), tongkol (longtail tuna) and cencaru (torpedo scad) – whether fresh, chilled or frozen, remain exempt from the tax. These types of fish are staple protein sources for many households due to their affordability and accessibility. The SST will also not be imposed on the purchase of gold, said Treasury secretary-general Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican. He said the government decided not to tax gold purchases as it is a medium of investment, and for cultural and economic reasons, too. 'Gold bars and jewellery are often considered investment tools or savings. 'From a cultural perspective, gold plays an important role in various communities, often given as symbolic gifts or blessings during significant life events such as the birth of a child or weddings. 'Even if you walk into a jewellery shop to buy a gold necklace or similar items, no tax will be imposed,' he said in a Finance Ministry TikTok live session titled 'SST Naik, Semua Harga Pun Naik?' (SST Gone Up, All Prices Going Up Too?). Johan noted that some businesses also use gold as collateral to obtain operational funds or loans. On the fruits getting exemption, he said although apples and oranges are not cultivated in Malaysia, they are integral to daily life. He also pointed out that during Chinese New Year or Hari Raya, the demand for these fruits – including mandarin oranges and dates – are particularly high, justifying the tax exemption. Johan noted that fruits like locally-grown banana will not be taxed, while imported fruits like strawberries, blueberries and avocados are considered 'selective items', and will continue to be taxed. 'The cost of our 'pisang goreng' will not increase. But if imported bananas are used, they will be taxed,' he said. Hairdressers and beauty salon operators had voiced concern that taxing their services would unfairly burden small businesses and lower-income consumers. To reduce the burden on small businesses, the annual sales threshold for mandatory service tax registration has been raised from RM500,000 to RM1mil for leasing, rental and financial services. This means only companies generating over RM1mil in yearly sales from such services will be required to charge the 8% tax. For financial services, the tax applies specifically to fee- or commission-based activities. The ministry also reminded the public and stakeholders to refer only to verified information on the SST rollout, including official announcements, guidelines, FAQs and subsidiary legislation available through the Finance Ministry and Customs Department websites. Further enquiries can be directed to the Customs Department SST Call Centre at 1-300-888-500 or through the dedicated hotline numbers.
