Tax is one thing, but one of the main reasons that there's a shortfall is because NOT EVERYONE is paying taxes.

I think if I am not mistaken, less than 20% of the country's population pays taxes.

We need MORE people to pay taxes. Bring back GST. Make everyone who is making money pay. There are so many of these 'peniaga' and so on who do not pay and makes so much tax-free money but the Govt is afraid to impose any tax on them because some of these are the 'main source' of voters during the GE.

It's already predicted by LKY when Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia. Hope my money will be protected and pass down. Protected means MYR value, pass down means still an sizeable amount.
