an attempt to commit suiside

This is my first post to comment about Malaysia politics (the current controversial one). Well, I dont really like to show my angst towards the unfair politics situation Malaysian face now (Okay one emo-point just been pointed haih...)

Well, it's related to the GST (goods service & tax). I read in the star newspaper today about the intention of our prime minister asked the government servant (or whoever they were) to support GST thus to increase the government revenue to help give the government servant a high wages. Okay, let me just quote some sentences.

"Najib who is also finance minister, said the goods and services tax (GST) was one way of increasing the government's revenue.

'That is why GST is important. People want higher wages but are not willing to support GST. I need the support of the 1.2 million government employees.'

'If you want better pay, I have to strengthen the government's revenue base....'"

the star newspaper

What is this? Increase the government revenue to give high wages to government servant? Now I wonder... do all of employees in Malaysia aregovernment servant? What about yees in private sector? Yees with low income rate? People who live in the city with low family income per month? Them, in rural area? What will happen to them? Broadcasting them in Bersamamu?

*sigh*

Really our government desperate to increase their revenue? Yes, I know that government (biggest) revenue from the taxes. But, what does Malaysian get when they do GST? 1 Malaysia? That is not what they demand. I speak for myself yes politicians you may laugh now but seriously you cant fool us students who urged to get update with the current news and history and everything (well, almost everything). GST will just be a burden to us, an ordinary Malaysian.

"GST is a consumption tax. It is your customer who bears the burden of the tax."

quoted by Dr Arjunam Subramanian in biz.thestar.

Now there you go... Customer who bears the burden of tax (yeah like Malaysia per capita income is what? 30k?)

Okay, IF I am not that clever to discuss about this or maybe something in my writing has been mislead, I beg for anyone to correct me. I dont want any argument about GST or politics or whatever crap I just want anyone to tell me the merits of supporting GST for us, now and in future. Please tell this poor girl and explain briefly about GST merits. I know there are some. I know that basic necessities (food) will be zero-rated. But still the benefits seldom catch my eyes. How about the canned food? Then we, students might face difficulties later on. Please save half of our loan for the tax!

I am disturb with this kind of issues and hope that a better explanation without fooling people around will be hear if the government insists to raise the government revenue for government servant who demand high wages. Ceh. Most of you not work that hard la weh..
