Simon’s Top Ten Wish Items for the Malaysian Budget 2006
Published by simon on September 28, 2005The budget is coming. It’s going to be on this Friday, just before Ramadhan. Lot’s of people are making their wishlists, so I’m doing mine. But don’t expect mine to come true anytime.
Simon’s Top Ten Wish Items for the Malaysian Budget 2006
- Tax break for bloggers. RM4000 rebate per year, since we are the true voice of rakyat.
- Paying ang pow for Chinese weddings is tax-deductible (Official receipt must be issued by wedding couple). Seriously, being invited to too many weddings can be a financial disaster!
- Reduce excise duties on imported cars. Like I said, don’t bet on this wish item being fulfilled.
- Increase road tax for taxis. I think there are far too many cabs in the city. Far, far too many.
- Introduce tax incentives for companies who introduce 4-day work weeks.
- Income tax returns of all cabinet ministers to be made public. Can also be downloadable on .pdf format. Or better yet, in a blog format and everyone can comment and flame them.
- No more increase in petrol prices. Ever.
- Reduce import duties on books. If they are serious in encouraging people to read.
- Reduce excise on imported original music discs, DVDs and VCDs. If they are serious about combating piracy…
- Increase duties on cigarettes BY 300% !!!!

yea ciggs kills man.. =P
for the ciggies, if prices went skyhigh there will be rampant underground markets for smuggling.
I second you, Simon
saya sokong!
I second that Yang Berhormat! Sokong sokong - banging (non sexual, pls!) on table. kekeke…….
cigars declared as duty free items, muahahahahar! *evil*
Tax break for bloggers. RM4000 rebate per year, since we are the true voice of rakyat.
Then, I am going to get all my 4 kids to blog too!
I seriously do hope the last one will come true, err…the rest come true later.
“…Income tax returns of all cabinet ministers to be made public. Can also be downloadable on .pdf format. Or better yet, in a blog format and everyone can comment and flame them…”
not only that, EVERY SINGLE government expenditure must be made public. Don’t care buy pencil or pen, also must declare. Sure alot of overpriced crap come out.
-Reduce import duties on books. If they are serious in encouraging people to read-
oh, how i wish this would come true!!
Actually right, if they increase tax on ciggies and lower tax on DVDs and VCDs and etc, instead of combating piracy, they would need to curb illegal ciggies coming into the country pulak.
Btw, sometimes I wish I can cekik those who smokes at non-smoking areas! Girls especially.
reta - and women too!!
totoro - which will still be a better alternative to the current situation…
anjali, mahagurusia and mudslinger - too bad i’m not the one presenting tomorrow…
belacans - i say man, belacans also mat cerut aa? chewah, very gaya la…
lilian - then it will RM20000 for your family man! the gomen wil owe you money!!
maria - it will come true. not 300%, but much less…
hedonistic - a lot of worms will come out, man! AP, rolex watch, cruise to haadyai…
zyrin - that one actually might come true… one day.
s-kay - women smokers…%&$*$! always think its a privilege to smoke coz no one dare to tell them off…
# Reduce import duties on books. If they are serious in encouraging people to read.
# Reduce excise on imported original music discs, DVDs and VCDs. If they are serious about combating piracy…
I fully support this act!!
Wah, another anti-smoking ah? support support. haha
Agreed for the 300% incr. duties on cigar… whereas for alcohols, please reduce it by 20%… hahaha.. i just miss it so much!
1 more: buying PDA, handphone, digicam, videocam etc. is subject to tax rebate of RM50 each, since we have the RM400 of personal computer. 2 years for each items, as the product life cycle has been shortening every years..
CLF - everybody’s been asking for that for so many years… hopefully it’ll come true today…
willwolf - JUST SAY NO!
keng - not like for gadgets. in fact i think it may even cost more as they are considered ‘luxury items’… but i’d love to change h/phones!
Tell them off only lah..apa susah…susahnya, if they got HUGE bf next to them..habislah hang!
I agree with everything on your wish list except the last point…aiyah be a bit nice lah Simon…smoking is one of the few naughty things I still enjoy. HEHE!
s-kay - then i’ll just hope the bf is a non-smoker. poor dude…
shan - well for you, ok. i’ll make an exception…
