Cadangan Penyelesaian Perlaksanaan Cukai PAS Menggantikan GST & SST
 |
| https://pas.org.my/ |
Setuju sangat dengan cadangan ini. Pertama sebab kadarnya mengikut kadar zakat 2.5% sahaja dan tidak menyusahkan rakyat. GST dan SST dua-dua menyusahkan rakyat. GST nak kena refund kepada syarikat, SST pula syarikat-syarikat boleh menipu.

Kajian Mendapati Rumah di KL dan Pulau Pinang Sangat Tidak Mampu Dimiliki
Hasil kajian Institut Penyelidikan Khazanah mendapati rumah di KL dan Penang sangat tidak mampu dimiliki. Manakala rumah di Melaka paling mampu dimiliki berbanding di negeri-negeri lain. Rujuk petikan berita berikut:

Khazanah says its latest report housing in Penang is also severely unaffordable
KUALA LUMPUR: While housing in some states in Malaysia are more affordable than others with a well-functioning median multiple of three times, Kuala Lumpur and Penang are “severely unaffordable”, Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) said.
It said in its latest research report “Making Housing Affordable” the areas had a median multiple of 5.4 times and 5.2 times respectively with the affordability factor depending on location (see chart).
“The median multiple is a measurement of how affordable the housing market as a whole is performing.
“It is not a measure of what any particular household can afford, which would depend on the household’s circumstances,” its programme research director Suraya Ismail said in a press conference here yesterday.
The report showed that in aggregate, new “cheap” launches dropped from 36.4% out of total launches in 2004 to only 19.7% in 2014, and that 72.5% of the Malaysian population owned a home.
“While the report reads that the 72.5% of home ownership is relatively high compared to developed countries which were below 70% - besides Singapore – this is rather misleading as home ownership includes informal housing, or “TOL” (temporary occupation licence),” she said.
A better indication would be the 53.5% home ownership in Kuala Lumpur, as it was a city.
“For Kuala Lumpur, given the median household income, an ‘affordable house’ should be RM280,000,” KRI managing director Datuk Charon Mokhzani (pic) said.
However, this wasn’t the case as KRI found inefficiencies in the housing supply sector stemming from the fragmented nature of the Malaysian construction business system.
“It is generally perceived that high housing prices are a direct result of high land and construction costs but this is not the case. It is because developers are willing to pay for increased land prices as the market price for housing increases, that ultimately causes housing prices to increase,” Charon pointed out.
Even construction costs were not the problem, he said, as they had been falling with no consequent drop in house prices.
Charon urged property developers to take inspiration from the Philippines, which was “able to provide two-bedroom houses with a swimming pool for RM53,000”.
“If they can do it, why cant we?” he said.
The report said urban areas tended to face a bigger challenge with urban home ownership reported at 69.1% compared to Malaysian home ownership as a whole, at 72.5%.
“The problem will become more acute with population growing at 2%, urbanisation continuing to increase and households getting smaller – with four persons per household in 2020 compared with six persons for every household in 1970,” Charon said.
“Prices are also heavily dependent on location.
“So far, intervention in the market has been largely on the demand side through the provision of attractive housing financing or home-buyer subsidies.
“On the supply side, intervention has been more direct in terms of provision of low-cost houses or housing cost subsidies,” Suraya said.
Seeing as a large percentage of the population was still living in informal housing or “TOL” , Charon said the arrangement needed to be sorted out in order to tighten and improve the housing system in the country.
“It is not a problem that high end housing is being sold.
“What we need is for developers to sell a wide spectrum of housing aimed at all quarters of the population,” he said.
Ultimately, he said there needed to be cheaper housing for the population at large.
He added that KRI was currently in talks with the Government to implement policies to tighten up and improve the matter."

Press Release Nestle Malaysia Regarding Maggi Noodles
The Health Ministry has reassured Malaysians that Nestlé-owned MAGGI Noodles in the country are safe to be consumed, after India withdrew the noodles from its shelves on June 3, citing unsafe levels of lead in the snack.
Its director Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the instant noodles in Malaysia were not imported from India, and that the ministry had also verified with the company producing the noodles and found it had gone through the right procedures to ensure it is safe for consumption.
“Checks by the ministry have found that MAGGI Noodles in Malaysia are indeed safe to be eaten.
"We have also verified with the company, and found that they have gone through the necessary steps to make sure they are safe,” he said in a statement today.
“In addition, the ministry has also done checks on various other instant noodle brands sold in local stores, including those which were imported. Those too do not contain an unsafe level of lead as is permitted under the Food Regulations 1985,” he added.
Dr Hisham however said that if any parties were found to be guilty of importing, distributing or selling poisonous food or that may affect a person’s health, harsh penalties will be handed out, with a fine of not more than RM100,000 or prison not more than 10 years or both, under Section 13 of the Food Act 1983.
He added that the public need not worry on the safety status of the MAGGI Noodles as the monitoring and enforcement of food safety by the ministry was always ongoing to ensure its safe.
“If consumers have any doubts on whether food is safe to be consumed, they can always file a complain with the ministry,” he said.

All Nestlé products are manufactured under stringent manufacturing conditions that meet both local and international standards and are safe for consumption. MAGGI products sold and marketed by Nestlé Malaysia are produced locally.
Nestlé has in place strict food safety and quality controls at all our manufacturing facilities, including thorough quality checks at each stage of our raw material sourcing and manufacturing process.

The trust of our consumers and the safety of our products is our first priority. In spite of MAGGI Noodles being safe, Nestlé India has decided to take the products off the shelves.

Pengguna Unifi VIP5 Kena Bayar Lebih Sempena GST
 |
| https://www.tm.com.my/gst/default.aspx |
Bila saya tengok kenyataan dari laman web TM seperti di atas, ingatkan tiada perubahan pada harga Unifi VIP5 (dengan kelajuan 5 Mbps) yang dilanggan. Ingatkan RM149 sebulan sebelum ini termasuk dengan cukai perkhidmatan 6% kerajaan dan GST 6% akan menggantikan cukai perkhidmatan tersebut, oleh itu tiada perubahan harga.
Rupanya tidak kerana selepas GST dilaksanakan GST 6% dikenakan atau pengguna Unifi VIP5 kena bayar tambahan RM8.94 (rounding RM8.95).
Berikut adalah bayaran yang dikenakan kepada pengguna Unifi VIP 5 sebelum dan selepas GST:
Sebelum GST: RM149
Selepas GST: RM157.95 (+RM8.95)
Sebelum GST: RM149
Selepas GST: RM157.95 (+RM8.95)
 |
| Bayaran Sebelum GST: RM 149 |
 |
| Bayaran Selepas GST: RM 157.95 |
Rasanya mungkin majoriti pengguna Unifi Home sekarang ialah yang melanggan VIP5. Saya percaya, ramai pengguna internet mahu bayar bil internet yang sama atau lebih murah, bukannya lebih mahal.
Cadangan: Unifi perlu adakan satu lagi pakej iaitu internet 5Mbps sahaja tanpa HyppTV dan talian tetap TM dengan kadar bayaran RM50-70 sahaja sebulan.

TPP: Keterbukaan Malaysia 'malukan' negara maju
KUALA LUMPUR - Sikap keterbukaan Malaysia berkaitan perjanjian Perkongsian Trans-Pasifik (TPP), telah memalukan negara demokrasi maju, kata Profesor Undang-Undang Universiti Auckland, Jane Kelsey.
Khamis lalu, Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed berkata teks draf TPP akan dikeluarkan bagi membolehkan penelitian terperinci dan debat awam sebelum perjanjian akhir dimeterai.
Menyifatkan tindakan itu sebagai tidak pernah dilakukan Malaysia, Kelsey berkata, kenyataan Mustapa itu selari dengan surat terbuka ahli Parlimen daripada tujuh negara, termasuk Malaysia dan New Zealand, yang dikeluarkan
minggu lalu.
"Sebaliknya, Menteri Perdagangan New Zealand, Tim Groser mengenepikan seruan daripada anggota Parlimen, termasuk daripada parti Greens, New Zealand First, Maori dan Mana.
"Selain itu kerajaan telah menghalang parti Buruh daripada mengemukakan usul yang sama di Parlimen," kata Kelsey dipetik sebagai berkata dalam satu kenyataan dari Universiti Auckland.
Kelsey berkata antara kebimbangan Malaysia, termasuk harta intelek, dasar tembakau, penyelesaian pertelingkahan antara negara dan pelabur, perusahaan milik kerajaan serta pemerolehan kerajaan yang memberi keutamaan kepada Bumiputera.
Menurutnya, rundingan peringkat menteri di Singapura yang bermula hari ini, akan berusaha untuk memuktamadkan hampir semua perjanjian itu.
"Fokus kemudiannya akan beralih kepada persoalan penting mengenai akses pasaran pertanian, automobil dan tekstil," katanya.
Kelsey meramalkan beberapa isu lain yang masih wujud akan menjadi bahan tawar menawar dalam penyelesaian akhir dan bukannya batu penghalang kepada perjanjian akhir, melainkan terdapat bantahan domestik yang memaksa kerajaan Malaysia tidak menandatangani perjanjian perdagangan berkenaan.
"Malaysia nampaknya membayangkan perkara itu mungkin berlaku jika mereka tidak dapat melindungi dasar sosial dan pembangunan ekonomi yang penting.
"Malah, mereka sudah pun menarik diri daripada Perjanjian Perdagangan Bebas dengan AS pada 2009. Adakah New Zealand bersedia mendengar pandangan rakyatnya dan melakukan tindakan yang sama?" tanya beliau. - Bernama

Kosmetik online beracun
Kuala Lumpur: Kegilaan mendapatkan kosmetik secara online yang menjadi fenomena baru di kalangan remaja tidak kira perempuan atau lelaki untuk muka tampil cerah menawan ternyata membawa azab kepada segelintir mereka apabila muka seolah-olah terbakar kerana penggunaan kosmetik beracun.
Ini berikutan mereka terlalu mudah diperdaya dengan ‘jaminan kualiti produk’ serta pelbagai ‘testimoni pengguna’, di blog serta laman sosial Facebook, kononnya kosmetik yang ditawar berkesan dalam tempoh sesingkat tiga hari.
Mengakui sesal kerana terjebak dalam pembelian kosmetik di laman Facebook, Sharina (bukan nama sebenar), 19, berkata, dia terpaksa mengasingkan diri daripada rakan sekerja apabila wajahnya ditumbuhi bintik halus merah seakan ruam panas.
“Ketika membeli (set kosmetik), saya langsung tidak memikirkan soal keselamatan diri dan kesan produk terhadap wajah. Apa yang terlintas hanyalah perasaan tidak sabar untuk kelihatan cerah dan cantik sebagaimana pengguna lain di ruang testimoni produk.

Hukum melabur dalam ASB, ASN 'harus' - Majlis Fatwa
KUALA LUMPUR 14 Feb. - Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan hari ini menegaskan bahawa hukum melabur dalam Skim Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN) dan Skim Amanah Saham Bumiputra (ASB) adalah 'Harus'.
Ini termasuk dividen atau bonus yang diterima menerusi kedua-dua skim pelaburan itu, kata Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Fatwa, Prof. Emeritus Tan Sri Dr. Abd. Shukor Husin dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.
Menurut Abd Shukor, Jawatankuasa Fatwa amat kesal kerana terdapat pihak-pihak tertentu cuba menimbulkan keraguan dengan memuat naik surat daripada Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia (SC) yang menyatakan skim tersebut sebagai tidak patuh Syariah.
Beliau berkata demikian bagi menjelaskan isu tuntutan Gabungan Badan Bukan Kerajaan Hak Asasi Manusia (Comango) mengenai hukum melabur dalam ASB dan ASN yang telah menimbulkan keresahan dalam kalangan masyarakat sejak kebelakangan ini. - BERNAMA

Toyota decided to stop making cars in Australia
Toyota's decision to stop making cars in Australia is devastating for thousands of automotive workers and an indication that prime minister Tony Abbott has failed to stand up for Australian jobs.
"Tony Abbott must tell Australians why he is not prepared to stand up for local jobs," ACTU Secretary Dave Oliver said.
"The Abbott Government goaded Holden into leaving, they've done absolutely nothing to keep Toyota in this country and as a result Australia will lose up to 50,000 direct skilled jobs, $21 billion will be wiped from the economy and regions will go into recession.
"Mr Abbott promised one million new jobs within five years, that's around six hundred new jobs every day but since he's come to office, all we've seen are job losses."
Toyota announced on Monday that it will stop building cars in Australia by the end of 2017, following Holden and Ford out of the country.
Mr Oliver said Mr Abbott's new industry policy is driving jobs out of Australia.
"The loss of the automotive manufacturing industry in Australia will have far reaching consequences around the country and throughout the economy," he said.
What can we learn from this:
- Don't make Malaysia a high-cost country

Orang ramai lebih suka petrol walaupun mahal
MALAYSIA memasang sistem NGV pada kenderaan mereka selepas kenaikan harga petrol, tahun lalu, menunjukkan kurangnya minat pemilik kenderaan untuk menjadikan NGV sebagai alternatif.
Ini juga membuktikan orang ramai masih boleh menyerap peningkatan kos sara hidup meskipun harga bahan api dinaikkan.
Hal ini diakui Penolong Pengurus Abex Manufacturing Sdn Bhd Norliza Abdul Hadi di mana bengkelnya hanya menerima tempahan sistem NGV untuk 30 kenderaan setiap bulan bagi cawangan di Lembah Klang sejak harga petrol naik.
“Situasi sama berlaku di Pulau Pinang, Kelantan dan Terengganu yang menunjukkan peningkatan agak perlahan bagi pemasangan sistem NGV.
“Berbeza di Johor Bahru, di mana kami menerima sehingga 50 kenderaan sebulan untuk memasang
sistem NGV. Bagi kenderaan komersil seperti bas dan teksi, penggunaan NGV menunjukkan peningkatan positif," katanya.
Katanya, sambutan terhadap penggunaan NGV amat mendukacitakan, walaupun ia boleh membantu mengurangkan perbelanjaan bahan api.
“Tiada tahu apa puncanya. Mungkin pengguna lebih suka guna petrol yang sememangnya mudah bagi mereka. Tidak perlu beratur panjang dan mudah didapati di mana-mana terutama di bandar atau pekan kecil,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Pengurus Besar Econgas NGV (M) Sdn Bhd Jeffrey harga petrol diumumkan hampir lima bulan lalu tidak membawa perubahan kepada perniagaannya malah syarikatnya terpaksa menutup tiga cawangan kerana tiada sambutan terhadap NGV.
Koordinator Sugoi NGV Teknologi Sdn Bhd Tan Geok Teng pula berkata, peningkatan besar dalam pemasangan NGV hanya dapat dilihat pada 2008 ketika harga petrol naik mendadak daripada RM1.92 seliter kepada RM2.70, dan trend itu kembali menurun pada 2009.

Subway gunakan bahan kimia kontroversi untuk rotinya di USA dan berazam tidak gunakannya lagi

Subway vows to remove controversial chemical from bread
Subway is the latest food company to ban a controversial chemical in its products after public pressure suggesting it is unsafe according to scientific research.
Following the launch of a petition by well-known food blogger Vani Hari, the fast food giant pledged to remove azodicarbonamide, a chemical used in yoga mats and shoe rubber, from its bread products in North America.
"We are already in the process of removing azodicarbonamide from our bread as part of our bread improvement process," Subway says on their company Facebook page.
The chemical is not used in other markets, such as Europe and Australia, where it is banned. However, it is currently being used in Canada and the United States where it is legal.
The World Health Organization has linked the chemical additive -- used as a bleaching agent in Subway's bread -- to respiratory issues, allergies and asthma.
Hari, who runs FoodBabe.com, challenged Subway to discontinue the use of azodicarbonamide in a online petition that currently has over 65,000 signatures.
She says while other food companies use the controversial chemical, she specifically targeted Subway because of the way they brand themselves as a healthy company by endorsing Olympic athletes and using the slogan "Eat Fresh!"
This is the second time Hari has seen success from one of her widely-publicized petitions. In October 2013, Kraft announced its plans to remove yellow dyes from several of its macaroni and cheese products following her petition suggesting the dyes may be carcinogenic.
And in Feb 2013, public pressure put on PepsiCo caused the soda giant to remove brominated vegetable oil, a supposed flame retardant, from its Gatorade beverages.
p/s: Persoalannya, adakah subway gunakan bahan kimia azodicarbonamide itu untuk rotinya di Malaysia? Rasanya kerajaan kena tubuhkan satu badan khas yang mengkaji bahan-bahan yg digunakan untuk membuat makanan-makanan dan produk-produk seperti minyak wangi, sabun basuh dll. di Malaysia ini kan?
