KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Sabah has welcomed the state government's move to amend the State Sales Tax (SST) Ordinance, calling it a step toward clearer taxation, fairer enforcement, and stronger investor confidence.
MCCC Sabah Women Entrepreneurs Committee Vice Chairperson Yong Hui Sun said the amendment will help eliminate legal ambiguities, lower compliance risks, and strengthen appeal mechanisms particularly benefiting SMEs and women entrepreneurs.
She praised State Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi’s focus on removing "grey areas" in the law, noting that unclear regulations raise costs and undermine trust.

"MCCC views the amendment as a sign the government is open to business feedback and committed to creating a transparent, investment-friendly environment," she said.
