八点最热报 | 3天后，我国部分服务的SST会提高，包括水电费。对此，马华亚依淡国会议员魏家祥表示，既然餐饮、通讯、甚至停车费都豁免调涨2%的SST，水电是每个人民的基本需求，费用应该也要豁免调涨，因此他建议内贸部长阿米占，应该要争取豁免调涨税率，避免增加人民的负担。（主播：梁宝仪）

00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:03 Prime Minister and Finance Minister An Hua announced in the budget last year that the service tax rate will be increased by 8% in March this year.
00:13 The government has issued a statement, which means that after three days, some service tax SST will be increased, including water and electricity fees.
00:23 The State Councilor of the Asian-Pacific Region, Wei Jiaxiang, said in the meeting that since the SST of food, drink, transportation and even parking fees will be increased by 2%,
00:32 water and electricity are the basic needs of every citizen, and the cost should also be increased.
00:38 Therefore, he suggested that the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ami Zhan, should fight for a tax increase to avoid increasing the burden of the people.
00:47 Please increase the electricity bill and water bill by 21%.
00:53 Please, if this is the only match, I think it is difficult for the people to vote.
00:57 I ask for another three or four days to discuss and bring the cabinet to decide on the elimination.
01:05 The State Councilor of the Asian-Pacific Region, Wei Jiaxiang, in a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly today,
01:09 asked Minister of Internal Affairs, Ami Zhan, to fight for a 2% increase in water and electricity charges.
01:14 Wei Jiaxiang said that the electricity bill has been increased many times.
01:16 If the SST of food, drink and transportation is increased by 2%, it will only increase the burden of the people.
01:20 Regarding Wei Jiaxiang's suggestion, Minister of Internal Affairs, Ami Zhan, said that he would bring the suggestion to the National Council on the Cost of Living meeting to discuss.
01:27 About two weeks ago, there was a special paper to see the impact.
01:34 The report that was raised by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ami Zhan, will be brought to the National Council on the Cost of Living meeting to discuss.
01:49 Thank you.
