PASIR MAS: The Government is considering proposals to give income tax relief to help the people cope with the spiralling cost of living following the fuel price increase.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said details of the matter would be announced during the tabling of the 2009 Budget on Aug 29. “There will be several measures to be taken but it's better for me not to reveal them at the moment,” he told reporters after launching the National Rice Production Enhancement Plan at Kampung Bendang Perangkap in Bunut Susu here. The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) forwarded the suggestion of tax relief at the 2009 Budget consultation session on Thursday. Abdullah also said the government would announce more incentives, including the road tax rebate for eligible private vehicle owners. “People who are unhappy would be inclined to express their dissatisfaction (through protests) but I wish to explain that the government will continue to find ways to reduce the impact of the oil price rise on the people. “We understand this and know that it will incite anger. However, we are also considering what measures to take. “We are announcing them one at a time to help ease the burden,” he said when commenting on the action by a group of people who had gathered without a permit in front of the Kampung Baru Mosque after Friday prayers. Asked about statements by several Opposition leaders that they could reduce the fuel prices, Abdullah said the Opposition made many promises. “During the last general election, they made all kinds of promises but until today they have not fulfilled any. If they want to reduce fuel prices, let them provide the subsidy to reduce fuel prices in Selangor and Perak first.” Meanwhile the Kelantan Umno has pledged its loyalty to Abdullah as party president and prime minister. - The Star

Don't pay income tax can or not?
You have one million over civil servants with an equivalent number of taxpayers. That is where the problem start.
You need to revamp the entire civil service to cut costs. It starts from you! You buy a brand new plane and fly everywhere for meetings. Teleconferencing cannot kah?
Just to see a boat you flew to Turkey? Pulau Ketam has got many boats, why don't you visit Pulau Ketam?
You built Putrajaya and now the Raayat knows it costs the nation 11-12 billion ringgit. With that kind of money, we can built 30 universites and export our service throughout the world to earn money, not spend money. Dopid!
Just because the architets wants to built bridges in Putrajaya, they went to dig up a man make pond. Dopid! Spend raayat's money again.
Then we sent up a loctor to space just to do some dopid experiments suggested by some ministers. Do some teh tarik stunts and play congkat. Dopid. 80 million ringgit just spend like that. How many primary and secondary schools can be build with this money.
Now this guy travel around the country to spend more money to tell about how he felt in space. I feel like puking!
Just to win the by elections in Ijok, Kuala Selangor last year BN machinery spents millions overnight to appease the voters. They tar the road which have never been tarred for upteem years, buying sewing machines, buy dinners. Whose money? Your grandfathers' hard earned money or Raayats?
In the past, Dr. M is no different.
Spend money to bail out his crony companies, Bank Bumiputra, built this built that. DOPID.
Bank Negara wasted BILLIONS of Ringgit by speculating in the Forex market. Whose Money.
The list is actually endless. MIND Bloggling Lah.
It is AMAZING Malaysia can produce such DOPID leaders and the Raayats just continue to swallow hook and sinker. Now suddenly they are awake!
Like they say, it is better late than NEVER loh!
