SIBU: People in Sarawak and Sabah are hoping the exemption of intrastate flights from Sales and Services Tax (SST) will result in the reduction of airfare cost within the two states.
For one, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah is hopeful that it will be so, considering that flying is a vital mode of travel in these two vast states.
He was commenting on the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) president Datuk Tan Kok Liang’s statement in lauding the federal government’s announcement on exemption of SST next month for all intrastate flights in Sabah and Sarawak.
