Tax

I received an email from a friend that talks about the politic and economy of Malaysia... It started stg like this:

Malaysia - A Failed Nation?

Those who started work around 1973

a 1.3 Litre Japaness car was RM 7,000
Today the equivalent let's say it is RM 60,000......... 8.5 times more...

In 1973, a double storey house was about RM 45,000..or less
Today it is about RM 300,000..........6.6 times more...


In 1973 an Engineer's pay was RM 1,000
Today it is about RM 2,000 +/-......... bzz bzz...2 x nia..

Prices of houses in Perth is about the same as Australia
Prices of Car 23% cheaper in Australia...

Developed country by 2020?

Let's look at some as of year 2005 ( Financial Times )
USA GNP per capita US$ 35,400
UK
GNP per capita US$ 25,510
Australia
GNP per capita US$ 19,530
Singapore
GNP per capita US $ 20,690
Malaysia
GNP per capita US $ 3450

To compound the effect of inflation, the ringgit has depreciated
greatly against all major currencies. The real income of most
Malaysians has moved backwards..

This is why many Malaysians suffer under the petrol hike. The root of
the problem is that our real incomes have shrunk in the face of
inflation and depreciated currency..
