Usually, there will be stacks of info on the budget day, but not this year.What budget day? some are better off being not mentioned..
1) 1 billion allocation to upgrade national security.. what's that, i dont think it will work.. pernah jer kawan citer.. polis returned to his mamak stall after failing to chase off the pickpocket... does 1 billion help? i want to see diff..jgn duit masuk tempat salah
2) 1% tax reduced for people with income above rm100,000 per annum. Averaging RM 9k++ per month. these are the riches, 5% of population. those who need tax exemptions are the poorer side.
3) proudly, they say to have increased tax exemption from rm8k to rm9k for living expenses. u divide them by 12, u merely get rm750 per month. Inflation rate goes much that 750 is not even a month's salary for domestic maid.
4)also money to upgrade the education system. erm, do they mean by switching from BM medium to english back to BM? N top 30 in SPM to be sent to reknown University? Just tell me how will they choose if all is based on SPM result, if students now can get up to 20As before being restricted, what more if they restrict to 10 subjects only. How do they choose out of thousands straight As?
5)also last minute they added few more. such as, car older than 15 years to be sent for inspection before renewing tax. old car = poor owner, still they need to fork out money for car inspection.
6) also they added that rm 50 chargeable per credit card per year.. quote them 'if you can have credit card, what is the rm50" mind you but not all credit card holders are rich. if they are rich, they wouldnt use a credit card.
7) ciggerate price being reduced. reason being to reduce illegal stuff etc... i duno if its d right thing or not..
8) also to mention that rm 28billion wasted annually on government project.
