Fomca: Waive credit card tax for the disabled

PETALING JAYA: The disabled community should be exempted from the RM50 service tax for principal credit and charge cards, said Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca) chief executive officer Mohd Yusof Abdul Rahman.

“The Government should look into the needs and situation of the disabled when it comes to imposing such moves,” he said.

Wheelchair-bound Anthony Thanasayan, presi­dent of ­­ Petposi­tive, an animal-assisted therapy society for the disabled and elderly, said the move would only cause “valuable money to be taken away from the disabled.”
