The government is mulling the implementation of new taxes, including a soda tax, according to DAP lawmaker Tony Pua.
However, Pua, who is the finance minister's special officer, said the move would not burden the low-income earners in the B40 group.
"For example, if we want to implement a soda tax, like a tax on Coca-Cola, it has two components.
"Firstly, it can generate some revenue for the government. It also does not burden the B40 group as they don't need to drink Coca-Cola.
"At the same time, we can also encourage a more healthy living," he was quoted as saying by TV3's Buletin Utama.
