Basic Revenue, Value added Tax, Wealth Taxation 财富税 on top 20%

GST dengan pemulangan RM5k GST, sebanyak RM300 setiap bulan lebih baik jika GST 6%. SST boleh dikenakan pada barang mewah  lumayan...atas GST...

如果商品及服务税为6%,则可获得5000令吉的商品及服务税(GST),每月300令吉更好。 SST可以在豪华商品上收取... 在商品及服务税(GST)之上

GST with a RM5k GST return, at RM300 per month is better if GST is 6%. SST may apply on luxury goods ...  on top of GST..

For a start those age 20 and below be given RM200 a month,  and those age above 60 be given RM400 a month as a basic revenue.  Those in-between ages 20 and 60 be considered on RM300 a month.  Slowing moving to RM600/month in urban area, RM300/month in rural area for all.

Which will be 6% of RM5000 for a start.   MBR Malaysia Basic Revenue in future or bantuan sara hidup now.

GST be maintained to tax more on the big spender, or using value-added tax instead.  This will be an effective wealth tax, then direct wealth tax, as direct wealth tax, may cause the wealthy people to move out of the country, as high-income tax deter investment and expatiates.

Basic Revenue will mitigate the GST from the essential spending, the essential basic living expenses.

Tabung Harapan will become a willing wealth tax, where people with extra, who are willing to depart with their extra.  Hopefully, the Top 20 will contribute 2% of their wealth annually


We got 16 above US$ billion-dollar club, 14 above US$500 million club, 20 above US$200 million club, according to Forbes magazines 2017.

If each of them willing contribute to a wealth tax:  US$200 million and above for 1 million,  US$500 million and above for 4 million, US$ billion and above 10 million.

160+56+20= 236

A collection of 236 million US$ addition in wealth tax will emerge.

Malaysia’s elites and corporations pay relatively low taxes.



Debate on taxation should not be confined to GST, but must include calls for reform on the whole tax system.

https://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/10/why-we-need-a-global-wealth-tax-piketty.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_tax

A global wealth tax and not a consumption tax is the way to go when it comes to fixing wealth inequality around the world, said French economist and author Thomas Piketty 


Taxation should be on wealth, just like maintenance fee on unit trust, it should be on properties and landowner, shares and equities owner and even saving, besides income and GST.

税收应该是从财富,就像单位信托维护费一样,应该是从财产和土地所有者,股份和股权所有者,甚至储蓄,除了收入和消费税。


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth



  • half of the world's wealth belongs to the top 1%,
  • top 10% of adults hold 85%, while the bottom 90% hold the remaining 15% of the world's total wealth,
  • top 30% of adults hold 97% of the total wealth.


Let the top 10% wealthy elites which hold 80-90% of total wealth to contribute the 40%  (top 1% contribute 30%, 9% from the rest of top 10% ) or more of basic income, and government, state, municipal, district operation cost.

The rest will be from the elites, meritocrats and commoners and corporations with assets above reasonable wealth level, together with other taxes, the return of national investment fund.


let say those with 1 billion US$ and above contribute 1 million US$ in wealth tax, 2 billion US$ and above contribute 2 million US$ in staggering upward wealth tax.

maybe those above 5 billion US$ need to contribute 10 million US$ and so forth, to fulfill a reasonable budget, and not overburden to medium and common class, and not to encourage overly wealthy.

让拥有财富80-90%的前10%富豪精英贡献40%以上的基本收入,以及政府,州,市,区经营成本。

 其余的将来自资产超过合理财富水平的精英,优胜者和平民和企业,加上其他税收,国家投资基金回报。

A basic income for all to cover all basic expenditures, food, shelter, education and basic health and medical insurance policy.

全部基本收入涵盖所有基本支出,食品,住房,教育和基本医疗保险

This will be able to offset consumption tax that hit the bottom 40 per cent, or even the lower middle 40 per cent, citing numbers indicating a huge increase in household spending as prices for foods and services increase.


Malaysian tax structure is basically inequitable...in other words, after taxation, income distribution is worse than before taxation and this inequity or regression has increased overtime, especially since the mid 80s and more recently, with the introduction of GST.


Malaysia has a skewed tax system that provides loopholes for the rich and high-earning corporations to pay very low taxes, while lower income earners pay higher levies percentage wise, now made worse by the GST.

星加坡媒體分析:馬哈迪·安華能否讓大馬“改朝換代”、2017馬來西亞大選~ Malaysia General Election Analysis...

Issues Raised As Next Election Approaching GE14


Failure of present government:

To let inflation skyrocket with the depreciation of RM.  The retiree feels that their retired fund reduced in term of purchasing power.  So do all the citizen.

To tax the wealthy in term of percentage.  A wealth tax on the top 10% to 20% should be implement.

A basic income for all in place of BRIM or minimum wages, to cover the cost of GST of medium and lower income, basic food, shelter(home ownership), education and medicine, inclusive of water, electricity, telecommunication and internet, and transport.

民主行动党全国宣传秘书兼八打灵再也北区国会议员 潘俭伟26-10-2017(星期四)于吉隆坡发表文告。

纳吉是否想说我们,令吉兑美元升值5.9%,即从2017年1月开始的4令吉49分到今天的4令吉24分的表现,是值得我国人民赞扬的成就?
纳吉是否需要被提醒,自他在2009年4月9日拜相以来,当时令吉兑美元的汇率即3令吉58仙,比起今天的兑换汇已高出18%吗?事实上,自从2013年大选以来,令吉的价值每年都大幅度下滑。
在20014年,令吉兑美元共下滑6.3%,即从1月1日的令吉兑1美元报3.281至12月31日的报3.502。
随後,首相在2015年1月告诉我们,令吉兑美元将从当时的5年低点反弹回来,因为“马来西亚的金融市场足够强劲”。信或不信,当时是3.50令吉兑1美元,现在看起来像是时空错乱。
然而,在2015年,令吉在12月31日当天却崩溃18.5%,即4.303 令吉兑1美元。
纵使如此,随着政府和国家银行继续重申,我们的货币在这两年被低估和不合理地眨值,在2016年时,令吉的币值又上涨了9.6%。

问题是,如果其他货币兑美元的汇率都以同样的速度下降,那就不会感到如此糟糕。但令人难堪的是,在过去几年,令吉的表现在所有主要区域货币中是最差的。我们的令吉兑换港币丶新元丶泰铢丶印尼盾和人民币,都很大幅度地减弱;因此,首相认为令吉的汇率在今年略有上升值得庆贺,是一种“垂死挣扎”的严重情况。
似乎每一个人都知道令吉表现差劣的原因,除了我们无知或假装无知的首相和他的“党羽”(merry men)。根本的原因在于,我们对货币和经济的信心已经完全崩溃,而这源自于我们被揭发为一个全球盗贼统治的国家,以及马来西亚当局和政府并没有对那些需要问责者采取任何对付行动。
令吉严重眨值的直接後果,不只是造成到海外旅游的成本显着提高,进口成本也相继提高,这是自上一回的全球金融次贷危机(global financial subprime crisis)以来,马来西亚面对最高一次的通膨率。
我们不能让纳吉把焦点放在令吉表现的短暂回升,而转移了我们对大愿景的注意力。要恢复到3.0令吉兑1美元,唯一的方法就是摆脱马来西亚贼狼当道的统治,落实干净丶透明和有竞争力的经济政策,以恢复本地和外国投资者对马来西亚的信心。



Pakatan Harapan will reinstate the 16% Sales and Services Tax (SST) to replace the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) if it forms the government in the next general election, said its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic).

国阵宣布增建10所华小和搬迁6所华小 ,林吉祥质问,教育部长玛哈兹卡力为什么在大选前才有这种宣佈?国阵政府不应该在大选前夕才来派这些甜头,华小应该基于人口的增加而新增,而不是大选要来了才宣佈。
国阵政府不应该以增建及搬迁华小来试图捞取华人选票,反而应该系统化地增建华小。
