This government does not print money like the Uncle Sam. Government rely on taxes to spend back to the public. If government no income how to build roads and other infrastructure for YOU?

You buy cheap car but no road. When government privatised, we complain about toll.
Maybe our cars are expensive but do we realized where the money goes. All the subsidies we swallow everyday from fuel to foodstuff, does the government complain on subsidizing all of us?

We can compare stuff with the US, but do we built aircraft carriers, space shuttles and sent thousands of troops to Iraq? If Malaysian government have that kind of fulus, why need to tax so much to build roads for us to drift about?

Think.

well... if the gov let imported cars to be sold below 100K i'm sure our national car's sales will be affected and alot of ppl going to loose their jobs and not to mention those upper level ppl will have to tighten their belts. All these duties, taxes are all to protect 'their' own people
Protectionism - you think Korea, China and even USA don't practice that?

When you wrote - 'their' own people - it's like you hear this from someone who hear from someone who does not really know much . Who are these - 'their' own people - exactly? what sort of percentage are these people in this population we are looking at? Anything specifics? or you are just mumbling?

I agree with EVERY single thing you say bro. BUT... if u look at the recent AG reports, the government is using our hard earned money to buy RM 15,000 LAPTOPS and RM218 Screwdrivers.

Malaysian government dont Print money but they sure spend the RAKYATS money like they are printing it buy the bucket load every second.

If thats where my taxes are going to then OMGWTFBBQ.

Peace

Munmax...maybe u should read this too...we understand the need for taxes but when taxes are misused, is it right to raise taxes to cover for these "mis-used" income n lets not even get started on tolled roads. NSE should have already breached equilibrium...but that was based on sticker price...how sure the cost to build it wasnt inflated for some side income? nobody can say it is true nor say it isnt. theres just no transparency.
