KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 28): The government will only reimplement the goods and services tax (GST) after carrying out a detailed study to ensure that it does not affect the interests of the people.

Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Abd Rahim Bakri said even though GST is a more comprehensive tax system compared to the sales and service tax (SST), the government will take what happened previously which had resulted in various polemics, as a lesson.
