No wonder the hindulens used to call this “swarnabhumi” =land of gold in antiquity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That GST contributes slightly more than one fifth of Spore tax revenue, is an indicator that either:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a. consumption is an anaemic chap hooked on life support in Kandang Kerbau Hospital...given that his wife had sequestered all his ill gotten gains into bank savings account in the earthly paradise for money launderers and tax cheats (read: the chingks)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b. Consumption has harakiried himself and that is why he has landed comatose at where he is. Note; how the chinks spend like no morrow in a non-GST country like Malaysia albeit their better exchange rates notwithstanding…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c. In an economy known for savings, the introduction of a consumption tax is the heights of moronity and moronity is second nature to the pure mongoloid stock, from which the chingkies hail from. You don’t believe me regarding GST, read these:&lt;br /&gt; http://74.125.153.132/search?q=cache:312Ss6dGsrUJ:blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jameshall/100001641/look-to-japan-if-you-think-january-vat-rise-is-a-good-thing/+Impact+of+Consumption+tax+on+Japanese+economy&amp;amp;cd=12&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;gl=my&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plus more  “serious financier”  stuff:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/japan/opinion/yokomizo.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plus a  peer –reviewed scholarly account which you can subscribe to yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.jstor.org/pss/133355&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and see how tax collection can be enhanced (per my suggestion about those chingkie bastard tax evaders) while being made more equitable through the tax structure:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.iser.osaka-u.ac.jp/library/dp/2006/DP0660.pdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. You are a liar, SG1066 pee wee pecker of a cocky, pinky chingkie cocky.

Spore&amp;#39;s GST only contributed a small portion of overall tax revenue with 80% derived from non-GST especially lower individual and corporate income tax ( evn the MOF figures attet that). if you read my comment closely, you will note that cutting personal and corporate taxes is what I am calling on the malaysian gov. to do but if they dont, who cares! for as of now they are still spellbound under the chingkie thrall....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I did not totally reject a GST, i called for a progreesive form of GST with minimal impact on the poor and lower middle income groups. Even then, i still aver that a GST would be deleterious on the economy.(Maybe one way to increase current consumption is to legislate a proposed GST say 2 or 3 years down the road, that will get local spending up based on future infltionary expectations. Of course, when the GST kicks in, consumption may taper off and revenue fall but you have a mechanism in place)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. i stated categorically that the spore economy is based on white gold and black shit sources of income. I have categorically proven the black shit thingy with  excerpts from the Melbourne Age paper and from Indonesian press reports to back up the FT, MI + directed u to the Tax justice link, all of which you lamely debunked as passe given Spore&amp;#39;s supposed compliance:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;13 updated DTAs (Double Taxation Agreements with the OECD information exchange standards incorporated therein)&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when both the FT and MI articles never stated compliance but MOVING in that direction. Even then, there is no way for money laundering to be eradicated, is there?given banking secrecy can always invent other loopholes for Chingkie gangsta money to pour in to prop up the stock mart, the property sector and the  economy in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You talked shit about perceptions..why do i care for indices on perceptions when facts are what I am after and even at #1 the NZ economy is not singing a humdinger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SP and Moody were touting the strength of Merill lynch, Bear and Sterns, Lehman Brothers, Citicorp etc (check it out urself) and look where are they now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Market capitalisation; what the fucks has that got to do with corporate health, dint Citicorp had  &amp;quot;humoungous market capitalisation&amp;quot; some time ago. and why do u cover-up on Temasek&amp;#39;s failures when the supposedly blilliant arsewhore (chingkie style pronounciation: &amp;quot;arsewhole&amp;quot;) chingkie scaw was almost  about to be replaced by..hei...wait...a GWAILOH not a &amp;quot;blilliant&amp;quot; chingkie unwashed fatarse, mind you!, and she got saved in the nick of time by recovering equity marts and I suspect, he FOUND something that the chink bastards wanted to hush up; &lt;br /&gt;Me lying , follow the chingkie shit of failures to its &amp;quot;arsewhole&amp;quot; with the links below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=428808&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.singapore/browse_thread/thread/303bec07f48745d9 (read the last yummy morsel of a paragraph)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;even in childcare, Temasek lost..malunya..china pukimak&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Money/Story/STIStory_300845.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;+ http://singsupplies.com/showthread.php?t=39309&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;+ many more ( if you want some fun)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on Gwailoh&lt;br /&gt;:http://www.wallstraits.com/wsforum/printthread.php?tid=2754&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and shamelessly, why use a malay name why not call it Chibailanchiau Investments (CI= which can be touted internationally as Capital Investments)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warrior 231</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/32651810029907609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/32651810029907609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258655183883#c32651810029907609' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-4424330779979255408</id><published>2009-11-20T00:23:28.571+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T00:23:28.571+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Part 1

Australia and Vietnam have also indicated that they are interested in joining the TPP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As per Mustapa: &amp;quot;It is confirmed they are not keen. They have told us verbally. It is as good as gone. (But) we have nothing formal yet.

And even after cutting corporate and top personal income tax rates to 17 per cent and 20 per cent respectively, the Singapore govt finances and reserves are very healthy. Why else would it get triple A ratings from the likes of S&amp;amp;P and Moody&amp;#39;s? (and what are the corresponding ratings for Malaysia?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- for a supposed tax haven, Singapore has gotten off the OECD grey list and on to its white list by signing about 13 updated DTAs (Double Taxation Agreements with the OECD information exchange standards incorporated therein). For Malaysia, all there is a promise by the PM that Malaysia will get on the OECD white list by year-end. This is already mid-Nov.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/5140670129310373258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/5140670129310373258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258529477231#c5140670129310373258' title=''/><author><name>skilgannon1066</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-682545636822457216</id><published>2009-11-15T00:39:15.189+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T00:39:15.189+08:00</updated><title type='text'>P/S 2

Damn the chingkie scum, if that 40% of illegal timber is converted into real dollars  (by looking at the total timber exports to Chingkiland and multiplying that 40% at current market rates for logs per cu metres etc), imagine how much revenue is flowing away from Malaysia. As we know much of the timber operations in Sabah/Sarawak are controlled by Chingkie gangsta “warlords” and if corruption is involved as I suspect, its time to throw the book at them immaterial as to who they are and their connections!

Considering that revenue streams are dryi...</title><content type='html'>Part 2 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering that revenue streams are drying up in these hard times, I propose these steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. reduce the corporate tax to 20% and adjust the personal income tax structure to more competitive levels vis-à-vis our competitors. The revenue lost will be regained through increased consumption of disposable income.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2. provide more capital allowances to the corporate sector especially to SMEs (CAs to be focused on plant and machinery purchases up to a period of 3 years with 60% writedown for the first year, introduce or expand the tax deduction for Capital expenditure on renovation and refurbishment, rescind the RPGT). This will greatly assist them to weather the existing downturn and position them to catch the next wave (if there is any coming)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.provide tax incentives ala Singapore  for the setting up of regional HQs for MNCs and also for purveyor for  Islamic Finance ( burgeoning financial sector) that can leverage on our expertise in this area. The revenue gains form such activities will more than offset the reduction of rates. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4.most importantly, the IRB should make the more efficient  collection of tax and tax arrears its no.1 priority especially amongst local chingkie pig arse denizens particularly the pretentiously poor hawking and small business fraternity. Tax evaders should be ferreted out and imposed the maximum tax penalties as well as be retrospectively assessed based on current income while fraudsters who have underdeclared should be hauled up, their past tax declarations scrutinized and penalties imposed retrospectively for the undeclared portions or current income is used as a baseline and projected backwards. In line with this per dollar expended to collect such revenue be reduced (I wonder what is Malaysia’s??)  and the expropriation of cumulative tax arrears  be expedited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.stricter collection of revenue in all sectors especially the raw materials sector and the weeding out of custom officials, politicians etc who are in cahoots with the chingkie comprador class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.the elimination of food and fuel subsidies except for the poor and underprivileged  and the eventual introduction of a progressive GST tax structure with minimal impact on the underprivileged extending from lower middle income class downwards: for a 101: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19292539/GST-Aug-09-EDEL-Wwwmon3ycoNr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.Introduction of a flat rate Tobbin tax on Chinkie wealth holdings to recompense their pendatang depredation of our natural resources circa :1800-1957 onwards; projected revenue could be Rm5-7 billion (conservative estimate)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a slew of other suggestions which I will hold over due to space  constraints here but the essence is to put money in people’s pockets, and leveraging on their consequent spending to keep the economy humming and the polity purring. Moreover, the cost savings accrued by business will help to mitigate the problems they face now and embark on expansion programs directed at both local and foreign marts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warrior 231</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/1331808363768217955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/1331808363768217955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258216042436#c1331808363768217955' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-986108555498067705</id><published>2009-11-15T00:19:45.827+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T00:19:45.827+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Part 1

I am a Malay Nationalist NOT a racist and my view may not be palatable to your chink-centric universe but to pour cold water on my arguments without contrarian facts to debunk and virtually annihilate my thesis does not bespeak highly of your intellect and is indicative of your hogfarm tending background.

Come armed with facts not chingkie jibes….get it&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Your chingky wee pee wee rosy assessment of Spore’s revenue stream is way off the mark, Skilly In fact, Spore derives the bulk of its tax revenue &lt;br /&gt;(17.2B or 58.5%  from personal and corporate income while GST constitutes only 22% of the amount derived). &lt;br /&gt;Google this article : &lt;br /&gt;http://www.asiaone.com/News/The%2BBusiness%2BTimes/Story/A1Story20090827-163913.html &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and do your maths, pigarse!The fact of the matter is that Spore is business friendly nature in terms of being a non-onerous tax regime has paid dividends both in terms of increased revenue. More over, compliance is much easier to effect and monitor within a 5 million highly wired “surveillance” society. The fact that Spore still managed to ferret out S200 million in tax evasion speaks volumes of the dastardly chingkie habit of evading payment through subterfuge such as double bookeeping, under-declaration, illegal transactions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet if the Malaysian IRB bucks up its tax collection initiatives an extra 3-4 billion (conservative estimate) is out there being sequestered away by the arselicking, pig arse shagging Chinkie bastards as my earlier Star link hints.&lt;br /&gt;If you are wondering at how large the gap is with regard to tax regimes ( corporate and individual), the tables on pages 41 and 42 of the link below will provide you an idea: &lt;br /&gt;http://www.pwc.com/en_SG/sg/budget-commentary/assets/budget-commentary-2009.pdf &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plus you need to note that there is even a tax for Regional HQs which amounts to 15% even though the spread between that tax and corporate tax has narrowed to 2%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warrior 231</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/986108555498067705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/986108555498067705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258215585827#c986108555498067705' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-5012092737983387153</id><published>2009-11-14T12:32:34.950+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T12:32:34.950+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I have a car that I bought in 1991.

Let proton compete openly so that the quality of its cars can be upgraded. no protection. no high taxation. if you don&amp;#39;t push proton hard enough you won&amp;#39;t get them make quality cars.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/973128686319617664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/973128686319617664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258131806566#c973128686319617664' title=''/><author><name>Anak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11121803051866978230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-8504185676607857375</id><published>2009-11-13T19:05:21.662+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T19:05:21.662+08:00</updated><title type='text'>not to scrap or to scrap, not to....Malaysia Boleh...</title><content type='html'>not to scrap or to scrap, not to....Malaysia Boleh, Macam Macam Boleh!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/8504185676607857375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/8504185676607857375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258110321662#c8504185676607857375' title=''/><author><name>maxxx</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04834896232136841993</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-4493357630322174052</id><published>2009-11-12T17:00:11.707+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T17:00:11.707+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Part A.

For once, I am inclined to agree with what Warrior XXX has posted - the qualification being that this applies to his views on the economy and not to the racist claptrap that he/she is prone to spewing out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would venture to suggest that government spending is constrained by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- a budget deficit of about 7.6 per cent for the current financial year. Continued budget deficits are unsustainable as they will adversely impact the country&amp;#39;s sovereign ratings and raise the costs for Malaysian government bonds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- petroleum revenues comprising about 40 per cent of govt revenues. This, again, is unsustainable, because as the CEO of Petronas has pointed out, Malaysia&amp;#39;s reserves of oil and gas are diminishing commodities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- the government has little additional ammunition to raise revenues if palm oil prices remain depressed in the light of competition and increased productivity from the Indonesian palm oil industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- a tax on consumption, like the proposed Goods &amp;amp; Services Tax (GST), would be one way for the govt to raise funds to plug the budget deficit. Singapore has proved that a GST can work, coupled with the facts that it has been able to accumulate sizeable reserves, reduce the top personal income tax rate to 20 per cent and the corporate tax rate to 17 per cent. And the Singapore dollar is one of the strongest currencies in the world. Singapore may be a city-state of 5 million people, but it has shown that good governance, a commitment to free trade and open markets for goods, services and talent coupled with super-efficient infrastructure can make the economy resilient in times of economic crisis.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/4493357630322174052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/7913479513115066145/comments/default/4493357630322174052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html?showComment=1258016411707#c4493357630322174052' title=''/><author><name>skilgannon1066</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rockybru.com.my/2009/11/flip-flop-dah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-7913479513115066145' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28452020/posts/default/7913479513115066145' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-5169395155297781894</id><published>2009-11-11T13:40:01.193+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T13:40:01.193+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Its not a practical idea la!
