BTW : I've already renew my r.tax last month ... then how to get rebate for this year ?

 

[satria_95]

nrc,
I think you won't get any rebate for this year if you've already paid. If the govt did give back rebates for those who have already paid, that includes me too, then it's a miracle.

RM2.70 per liter. Wow. Looks like crime rate will also increase as people get desperate to survive. Better prepare yourself for battle, folks. I expect the rempits to be the first group and those kind of people to help increase crime rates first.
