PUTRAJAYA, Aug 27 — Malaysia should seriously consider bringing back the goods and services tax (GST) to increase its revenue, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said in its report on Malaysia released today. The OECD Survey of Malaysia 2024 noted that the country's current tax system contributes only 12 per cent to the economy and suggested that the government explore ways to boost revenue since its spending, including on subsidies, eats up 3.5 per cent of the GDP.

The Mainichi Shimbun spoke with Kazuhito Yamashita, a former bureaucrat at Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and a research director at the Canon Institute for Global Studies, about the background to the rice commotion, shedding light on the reality of rice policies that have disregarded consumers.
