    WHILE the Workers' Party (WP) agrees with the broad principles of the Budget to build a more inclusive society, it is still objecting to the Budget as it disagrees with the upcoming goods and services tax (GST) hike.

    Speaking during the Budget debate in Parliament on Monday (Feb 28), WP chief Pritam Singh, along with other WP Members of Parliament (MPs), argued that the government could have considered other options for raising revenue.
