Vivo Malaysia will cover GST for consumers

Besides OPPO, Vivo Malaysia has also stated that they will bear the burden of GST which means the prices of Vivo smartphones will not increase even though GST will be effective from 1st April onwards.

It's good to know that the company will not increase the price of the smartphones. The X5 Max, which is now available in Malaysia, will stick to the same price tag at RM 1,799 as well.

In case you don't know what is GST, it's actually Goods and Services Tax. It will be effective from tomorrow onwards, and most products pricing will increase because of the 6% GST has added to it.
