MALAYSIA TO IMPOSE CONSUMPTION TAX AS DEBT CLOUDS GATHER

By Julia ZAPPEI (AFP) – 25.10.2013

Kuala Lumpur — Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Friday his government would levy an unpopular consumption tax starting in 2015 as it seeks to ease growing concern over the country's soaring debt.

Following years of massive populist spending, Najib also announced key subsidies would be slashed as he unveiled his 2014 budget.

Economists welcomed the measures but the opposition said it would stage protests over the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which it says will unfairly force consumers to bear the burden of government corruption and fiscal irresponsibility.
"With the implementation of GST, the government will be able to address the weaknesses in the current taxation system," Najib told parliament, to loud groans in the chamber.

The GST is unlikely to please a populace that economists say has become accustomed to generous subsidies.

Malaysia has one of Asia's highest debt-to-GDP ratios.
It reached 54.8 percent in 2013, a government report said Friday, just a hair below a red line drawn by Najib at 55 percent, which he reiterated on Friday would not be crossed.

Debt clouds have been gathering over Southeast Asia's third-largest economy, with Fitch ratings agency in July warning Malaysia to get its financial house in order or face a possible sovereign-debt downgrade.
"As a whole, the budget is for growth and fiscal discipline," said Lee Heng Guie, chief economist with Malaysia's CIMB Investment Bank.

Lee said the GST could bring in up to 12 billion ringgit ($3.8 billion) more revenue than an existing sales and service tax system, which will be replaced.
"There are detailed plans to broaden the tax base and for fiscal consolidation that would ease investors' concerns. The reaction will be positive," Lee said.

The GST will not apply to key consumer goods and services, including rice, sugar and other staples, public transport, and some electricity costs.

However, he said the government would immediately abolish subsidies on sugar and "gradually" reduce others, such as those on fuel.

Following Fitch's warning, the government last month cut fuel subsidies for the first time since 2010, causing petrol prices to rise 10.5 percent, to muted public reaction.

Najib has targeted reducing the budget deficit to three percent by 2015, down from four percent this year, and pledged a balanced budget by 2020.

Under the ruling Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition, resource-rich Malaysia enjoyed decades of growth, foreign investment inflows and rising living standards.

But the 56-year-old ruling bloc has won elections by steadily diminishing margins against a rising opposition promising change.

The opposition staged large rallies in 2008 over a fuel price hike, though there was no violence.
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said he would soon announce plans for protests against the GST.
"They have not addressed the issue of good governance. How do you impose this tax when you don't know the importance of governance, and your spending is irresponsible?" Anwar said of Najib's government.

Taking office in 2009, Najib has pledged economic reforms while also lavishing handouts on the public in a bid to regain voter support.

Barisan retained power for another five years in elections in May, but only after its worst showing ever at the polls.
Competition from lower-cost regional rivals China, Indonesia and others has raised questions over whether Malaysia can escape the "middle-income trap" and become a higher-income country.

Malaysia's central bank in August said the economy was expected to expand 4.5-5.0 percent this year, slowing from 5.6 percent growth in 2012.

THE FIRST STUDENT TO MASTER THE KDM GAGARIT “abada”

DR MOHD ZAKARIA ILYAS’s FIRST STUDENT TO MASTER THE GAGARIT “abada” (KDM Alphabets) – WITZER UNIQUE

Pride goes to the KDM people for the birth of a man like Witzer Unique who I can put number one to have given great support to the creation or invention of the KDM Gagarit “abada” by Dr Mohd Zakaria Ilyas (pic A) of Kampung Tagudon Lama, Ranau Sabah Malaysia. I am very much impressed with this quotation by Wilter Unique (pic B):

“Sesungguhnya, Gagarit do Dusun adalah harta yang kita akan wariskan kepada generasi KDM. Tamadun Mesir telah memberikan heroglif, Sumeria telah memperkenalkan ideogram, China pula menggunakan piktograf sementara tamadun Yunani  menggunakan Phoenicia. Kini, melalui anugerah yang disampaikan oleh Pencipta kepada Dr Mohd. Zakaria Ilyas, giliran kita berkongsi Gagarit do Dusun sebagai satu sumbangan abadi Kadazandusun terhadap ketamadunan manusia sejagat.”

         With this patriotic characters of a man, we could see that the existence of the KDM on the earth would exist, excel and stand forever by treasuring this quotation and presenting it to every newly born KDM. What is our part? What is our subscription? And what benefits we get? To answer the first question, I would say that our part is to learn and teach our children to write and read in our own “abada”. Our most important subscriptions are to preserve and promote this “abada as a tataba” and to uphold as our own (KDM) property and as a global symbol of the KDM race. The answer of the third question is the God  has given Dr Zakaria Ilyas the brain to invent the Gagarit abada for the KDM people.

I wholly support Dr Mohd Zakaria Ilyas on his work inventing the “abada”  and to Witzer Unique’s great concern and pride on the birth of this KDM alphabets, I salute you. I would like to propose the two of you to “miangkawit longon” to set up a KDM Linguistic School where this “Gagarit” can be taught to KDM people regardless of their ages and sexes. I had examined and read the  “Huminodun” story and the “sundait” written by Witzer Unique and state here that Witzer Unique has mastered writing using the “abada”. I had a personal discussion with Dr Mohd Zakaria Ilyas relating to this subject and he said “I need at least ten people who could master writing and reading in the KDM gagarit in order to set up a school and I invite anyone or all those who are keen to learn, to come to me to learn to write and read in the KDM gagarit abada”. I think it’s not that difficult to learn writing and reading this “abada”. At first I thought it was too hard but once Dr Mohd Zakaria Ilyas explained me how to read and write I found it simple. The only work we have to do is to practice writing and memorizing the letters. Once you memorized the letters you can go on writing easily because the writing is similar to the English writing system which starts from the left to the right.
