Budget 2013
Here are few small things that I think matter for the Budget 2013.
1. govt should start away with GST some time in mid-2013. Your pay more tax if you shop more, and you shop less when you have little cash. I think it is very fair for any income level in this country to pay GST. Let the government raise more revenue from people with more money, and maybe we can try do away from subsidies
2. dump that sugar and cooking oil subsidies.. its indirect cost of sugar subsidies that is just massive esp on the medical cost...diabetes, obesity, heart problem etc etc...kalo terus mati, lain la citer,xde la govt nak kene tanggung korang nyer health problem .....Psl gula murah la taip2 kali nak order air i kene shout "mamak, teh O kurang kuraang kurrrangggg gula....."
3. kurangkan excise duty import kereta secara berperingkat.. not that i wanted a new foreign car (coz I still heart proton! )... but i think reducing the duty import can help proton and perodua (and the suppliers) become more competitive in design n technology...
4. stop giving out all this cash handout BR1M etc etc ... bagi RM ribu-ribu pun x kan cukup Dato' Sri utk cover rising living cost, rising housing cost... income level yg kene raise kalo nak cover rising living cost. Ini common sense. kalo gaji xcukup, then ppl have to work extra job... ini x, ramai jer indon2, bangla2 keje mesia ni, bole jer diorg buat duit.... ada indon income ribu2 lagi keje cuci umah jer.... mcm kata pepatah tu.." org lapar beri kail, ajar mengail, bukan bagi ikan.."... zaman dulu, org xde kerja, tun razak bagi tanah utk teroka tanam2 buat lepas hidup, tgk sekrang peneroka felda idup OK jer..... xkan najib nak bagi RM500 jer, bagi la scholarships ker
5. i do think government should raise government servant salaries and perks, but only if it commensurate with higher productivity.. please please please... reduce the number of "staff sokongan" and increase human resources with ones with "the brain" and the "octopus hand"... and ones that can really deliver... tolong la attract the right talent and pay them right ... if you pay your staff below market price then it is no wonder your staff is performing below market standard.... if cannot deliver, then put on the cold bench or ask to leave the public service.... it is tax payers money anyway! x payah la nak create2 special elite forces (ptd for instance)... itu resam imperialist dah ketinggalan zaman dah pong...
6. government really have to find other mechanism to subsidise fuel price
utk golongan yg memerlukan sahaja, drp bagi pukul rata utk semua... tolong la cut diesel and fuel subsidies, instead spend more on
a) education, pre-school, primary-, secondary and tertiary education...
b) center for OKU
c) grant utk R&D
d) community centers - where family/society can do activities ie gaya hidup sihat
7. water treatment plant... hmmmnnn... tolong la jgan privatise air, udara, keselamatan...
8. hways.... highway pantai barat bile nak start? PLUS highway dah terlampau tepu dah...
9. kaji balik system sungai, perparitan kita.. kalo heavy rain nonstop 5hrs jer dah banjir kilat... kalo ibukota kita kena macam Thailand last year macam maner?... Sediakan parit sebelum banjir!
10. rising property prices. here few suggestions
-raise RGPT for selling property less than 5 years utk kurangkan speculative prices.. manataw ada developer yg jual unit kat konco2 masa construction, then bile dah siap after 2 yrs property prices naik mencanak2... cthnya first owner beli RM230k time construction, dapat jer CF, owner jual harga RM320k, lps setahundua, second owner jual harga RM450-500k... byk condo2 kat KL ni mcm tue..
-utk first time house buyer, minta dihapuskan terus tax, stamp duty etc etc... nnti nak byr lawyer lagi... professional value lagi... on top of 5-10% deposit...anyway, i think ppl should have at least 5% of house price if they want to buy house, kalo 5% savings pun xde, maksud nya susah nak savings and most likely kurang berkemampuan utk memiliki rumah sendiri...
-allow house purchase only if rumah dah siap and dah dpt CF, strata title... kalo developer takde duit nak buat construction, jgn meniaga... tutup kedai. Other way, developer bole issue bond 3 to 5 years. construction 2 thn dah siap.. 2-3 thn dah bole dapat pulangan. tlg la jgn ikut sgt cakap persatuan2 developer nih, diorg tu mmg monopoli, nak menang sajer.... developer ni org berniaga, kalo nak meniaga kene la berani tanggung risiko kenaikan bahan, etc etc... , kenaper pulak house buyer yg nak menanggung construction risk? .............rakyat didahulukan, pembeli diutamakan
11. kurangkan import duties... cth nye textile... knp kain2 ela kat malaysia ni mahal2 dr harga dari Indon, India, Vietnam? mcm maner la industry fashion/creative kite nak berkembang if we have to pay more for raw material.
takat ni jer dulu....mende2 kecik ni pun sure pening menteri kewangan.
