"Letter's To The Editor"-VAT Time Will Tell

Just a day has gone, people are having mixed reactions regarding the increase in VAT from 9-15 per cent. 

So let’s wait and see if it really benefits people, they get used to it or it serious becomes concerning in next six months. 

We should expect it as a trial and error run, which could solve the problem or make it really bad just after the COVID-19. 

Also, wages rate should be increased to minimum $6 an hour I guess, it’s for a single earner in a family. 

Let’s pray all goes well or if not government to reconsider at looking at the prices of local products are way higher then in Australia and New Zealand. 

Time to wait and see and think and decide for the future. 

It’s really hitting hard for poor people, but it’s a hard pill to swallow. 

Cost-cutting also needs to be done in most government projects and time taken. 

Wish the government very best after the election as I was late In congratulating them. 

Keep it up and definitely would be happy to share some expertise.
