Kota Kinabalu: Starting July 1, 2025, Malaysia implemented a significantly expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST) regime that also affects doctors operating their clinics, pharmacists and related health industry players. 

Malaysia’s Small and Medium Enterprises Association (Samenta) decided to voice out for these medical practitioners on the SST woes affecting them.

According to Samenta’s Sabah branch head Dato’ George Lim, business costs have risen due to SST compliance. 

He was addressing the audience at his GA Space premises in a forum on June 12: “Government and Entrepreneurs should collaborate to reach common goals for environmental protection”. The event was organised by PUMM, a non-governmental organisation.
