Then improve tax collection. Curb wasteful spending like Ng Yen Yen's facebook pages. Stop the brain drain so there are more high income persons paying taxes - shut Ibrahim Ali up, treat all races equally. Help Bumiputras become more competitive - allow a more even playing field. The country does not have the resources to keep feeding this inefficiency. Show us you are serious about saving the rakyat's money before you start taxing us more. Mr. Idris Jala, What will happen to this beautiful country Malaysia when the oil revenue runs out? Will we go the way of Greece? I fear we will.

I have being paying my income tax for the last 32 years without fail, can you answer this ? The rest of 27million peoples are taking advantage of our poor 1 million tax payers and enjoy the same benefit. Worst, we filled up the Income tax form with a little error, they penalised us with 40% of the total tax payable. Where is the logic ??

Why spare all the UMNOPutra rent seekers and their cronies and burden the poor instead?! There's no justification for this, and no moral ground for it. More than that, there is no moral ground or even equity ground for allowing UMNOPutra rent seeking!!!
