Our Taxation system is Heading for an Economic Disaster. By Richard De Lon Instead of implementing windfall tax, inheritance tax, RGPT tax, SST, Tax GST tax and a host of other minor taxes in order to fill up the depleting nation's coffers, its about time our govt start imposing tax on all Malaysians irrespective of race. The present system of taxing only non-malays while the majority malays only pay Zakat is a non sustainable policy in the long run, Presently, 35% of non malays is legally compulsory to pay income tax while 65% of malays can opt to pay zakat to their islamic religious bodies. In other words, 35% tax collected from the non malays are used exclusively for the govt expenses and the developmental expenditure while those paying zakat are exclusively used by the religious bodies for their islamic affairs. On top of this , sizeable annual allocation is given to the islamic bodies from the money collected from the taxes collected from the 35% non malays. As more and more non malays opt to migrate and the percentage of tax payer shrink how long can the govt rely merely on the tax paid by 35% non malays? This is further compounded by the fact the malay population is expected to increase to 70% in the next few years and a sizeable number of them will be employed in the civil service. This effect will only increase the govt expenditure annually and with a shrinking tax base, how and where would the govt hope to obtain its revenue. ? To continue to impose tax on company profits via windfall and other such taxes is akin to killing the goose that lay the golden eggs. The more such tax you impose the more disincentive it is for companies to invest in the country as we become less competitive compared to new venues like Vietnam and Phillipines. Changing the tax pattern where malays have to pay income tax rather than zakat will indeed be a monumental decision for any govt to make but not making that difficult decision is not an option if our country does not wish to face economic disaster.
Non stop politicking is also killing this country. Our politicians spend more time playing politics than doing constructive works. Only good at barking in the parliament. Bring back the GST is the best solution to achieve an equitable tax system. Most of the countries in the world have GST/VAT, I am sure they know what works.

"I just Googles “number of civil servants in Malaysia” and found this: The number of civil servants as of March this year stands at a whopping 1.71 million,"
Let's do a simple math. Assume all civil servants are paid minimum wage of RM 1500 per month excluding benefits.
So, 1.71m x RM 1500 = RM 2,565,000,000 (~ RM 2.55 Billion) spent every month to keep the civil service machinery running.
Therefore in a year, RM 2.55 x 12 months = ~~ RM 31 billion. Mind you, it is just bare minimum with assumption that everyone earns RM 1500. The reality is different, which could double it up to RM 62 billion with all benefits and other salary scales included.
Civil servants are the votes bank for every Malay based party, used to be UMNO votes bank. Whoever gets their votes will be the government. It is politics. Civil servants are treated well by the government of the day, they get full salary during MCO locked down and many other goodies. How long can it last? It has been going on since Merdeka and off course until oil wells run out.

It's mind boggling expenditure. 08/11/2021 8:59 PM
Really fortunate...Keyman188 had managed to pare down 40% shareholding of overall long term position since 2nd half of Sept until before budgetary announcement...
Since that unexpected "Cukai Makmur" + "50% increased of stamp duty"...Keyman188 further pare down another 10% long term position...
Now waiting this 2 months (before year end) further pare down until 30% long term position if share price slightly recover back certain level since Keyman188 managed to strike cheapest entry price last year during pandemic...
Keyman188 diverted investment funds to "other market"...
Be frankly speaking...
Keyman188 really not so favourable the latest 2022 Budgetary...
Unexpected GOM will implement "Cukai Makmur" for those RM 100 mil above...
Unexpected GOM will remove stamp duty capping by RM 200 & increase the duty by 50% from 0.10% to 0.15%...
Since "Cukai Makmur" already tabled at Parliament...you think upcoming year by year will continue !!! (We don't know but high possibility since Natioanal debt now stood at RM 1.25 trillion pre-budgetary announcement)...
Furthermore...current local equities valuation really not so attractive if comparing other market peers...
Beside valuation...other "factors" also not so favourable since slowly slowly emerged on the table...

Malaysia's GDP likely contracted in 3Q on renewed Covid-19 curbs
(November 11, 2021 10:15 am +08)
BENGALURU (Nov 11): Malaysia's battered economy likely slipped back into contraction in the third quarter as coronavirus-induced restrictions brought economic activity to a near-standstill, a Reuters poll found.
After bouncing back from its worst recession in more than two decades in the second quarter, the Southeast Asian economy shrank 1.3% in July-September from a year earlier, according to the median forecast of 20 economists in the poll.
Forecasts for the change in gross domestic product (GDP), due to be released on Nov. 12, ranged from -6.0% to +1.0%, underscoring widespread uncertainty around the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The deceleration reflected strict movement restrictions to curb the more contagious Delta variant virus infections," said Chua Han Teng, an economist at DBS Group Research. "With much of the economy under harsh curbs, private consumption, investment, and manufacturing activities took a big hit."
Renewed COVID-19 lockdowns in the Southeast Asian country dampened a nascent economic recovery, pushing Malaysia's central bank to slash its 2021 growth forecast to 3.0%-4.0% from 6.0%-7.5% previously.
After chopping its benchmark rate by 125 basis points last year as the pandemic took hold the central bank was expected to keep rates unchanged until the third quarter of next year, a separate Reuters poll showed.
But the economy is expected to gain momentum, expanding 4.0% in the current three-month period as a ramped-up vaccination drive, a record government budget to spur post-pandemic recovery and gradual reopening have boosted hopes of a turnaround.
The government expects Malaysia's economy to grow 5.5%-6.5% next year, driven by normalisation of economic activity, resumption of projects, higher commodity prices and strong external demand.
"We expect a strong recovery in the coming quarters as restrictions are eased further and normal economic life returns. This will also be supported by loose fiscal policy, with the recent 2022 budget targeting another ramp up in spending," said Alex Holmes, emerging Asia economist at Capital Economics.
"With vaccine coverage now among the best in the world, virus cases falling back sharply and the government easing restrictions, activity is rebounding strongly."
But several economists warned the bleaker outlook for China's export market and continued pandemic fears pose downside risks to growth. China is Malaysia's largest trading partner.
