THE Government will most likely subsidise targeted groups if it were to implement the GST tax regime, that more or less will help the government increase its revenue stream by 100 per cent.
MALAYSIANS are prepared for the pain and gain that GST will bring, but I suspect that we are all more excited in throwing Rafizi Ramli under the bus next year.
WE haven't forgotten his 2013 formula to bring the price of automobiles down but already ten months in the office, and Rafizi Ramli, who has been described as down right lazy, hasn't done a damn thing to bring down automobile prices in Malaysia. READ : Why is Rafizi Ramli not implementing his 2013 formula to bring down car prices?
PERHAPS, he is waiting for 2024, to surprise us with the GST and a gradual decimation of the approved permit regime.
OR perhaps he is trying to hood wink us again, by attempting to stall on all of his promises by READ : attempting to submit his Approved Permit limit plan to the NEAC .
ARE the NEAC people elected officials? Do they run this country, or as we all believe it is the cabinet of Anwar Ibrahim which runs the country. Why submit to the NEAC and not to the decision makers who are sitting in the cabinet?
GETTING, the automobile approved permits into the Rest In Peace column, has been something which is long overdue, plus it is also preventing Malaysia from READ : from signing a free trade agreement with the European Union due to the high compliance cost in out automobile sector.
TALKS between Malaysia and the European Union has been stalled since 2012, which has placed Malaysian SME's at a disadvantage against their counterparts from Singapore and Vietnam, who already have trade agreements with the European Union.
I do not rate Rafizi Ramli highly, as his stint with Invoke, exposed him as a text book type of personality, who cannot deliver in real life environment, to the extent that its social media recruitment campaign for a school run by Halim Saad couldn't get even net two enrollments.
