Clashes occurred between the secretariat of the Gabungan Bantah Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan (GST) and the police during the submission of the memorandum to the Customs.

Earlier a member of SAMM had said that the memorandum was their last effort as the peoples objection of the GST was ignored by Putrajaya.
