Kee Hua Chee Live!: May 2018

Thursday, May 31, 2018

1 JUNE 2018 IS NO G.S.T DAY! EVERY MALAYSIAN NOW SAVES 6% ON EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING WE BUY! ANY SHOP THAT TRIES TO CHEAT BY CHARGING 6% GST MUST BE PUBLICISED ON INTERNET AND PUNISHED. MAKE USE OF YOUR HANDPHONE CAMERA! WE DID NOT VOTE FR PAKATAN HARAPAN ONLY TO BE CHEATED BY UNSCRUPULOUS SHOP OWNERS!

IF ONLY NAJIB HAD NOT INSTALLED GST AND RETURNED SOME ILL-GOTTEN BLOOD MONEY HE MIGHT HAVE REMAINED PRIME MINISTER TODAY.

For 57 years we survived without GST and suddenly our Prime Minister burdened us with 6% tax on everything we bought! Of course if you earn RM 30,000 or even RM 10,000 a month this may seem like pittance compared to your RM 65,000 Birkin handbag made of dead cow skin. Or a crocodile version that costs maybe RM 300,000.

Bank Negara announced around 50% of Malaysians earn under RM 2,000! So an extra 6% is a massive burden as you are still buying the same amount of goods though a few items are exempted.

If we could survive 57 years without GST we can jolly well survive another 57 years!

While we say GST will be abolished, this is not technically correct. GST remains but has been reduced to 0% from 6%. The mechanism is still intact so in future once we are rid of RM 1 trillion debt Pakatan Harapan has the option of reintroducing GST of 2 or 3%!

As it is, since the announcement of the cancellation of GST, most businesses have grounded to a near halt. Why buy today when you can wait another 14 days and save 6%? For daily necessities like rice, meat and food we still have to eat as starving for 2 weeks is too radical.

The argument was that 160 nations have GST or VAT or whatever sales tax and we should follow suit. This is like saying ALL advanced nations in Europe, USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand allow gay sex, kissing and fondling breasts in public, nude bathing, sex shops, sex museums, nude photography and sales of sex toys so we must follow suit? In Holland, there are official bars where you can smoke pot legally so let's open some in KL too. In England, you can launch a Republican party with the aim of peaceful abolition of the monarchy as that is within a Briton's right.

What is the point of imposing 6% GST only to dole out cash via BR1M? It's like giving you RM 500 cash only to take back RM 800 so you end up RM 300 poorer.

It can be argued some rich traders or conglomerates escape taxes but with GST everyone pays.

Hello, I speak on behalf of most Malaysians I don't care if a few tycoons avoid paying full tax if I don't have to pay an extra 6% on things I buy! A tycoon worth RM 50 million, RM 100 million or RM 500 million will not notice the difference in grocery bills even if VAT is 100% but to normal folks a extra Rm 20 means a lot.

I used to take taxi to the nearest supermarket costing RM 8 return but now Grab charges RM 14 return. So I only do my grocery shopping when I am already in the mall for some other event or am nearby a supermarket! Cost cutting OK!

Many politicians and richies live in ivory towers and they think RM 1 million house is very de reasonable as most live in RM 3 million to RM 10 million houses. This explains the scary glut of posh condos and luxury homes weeping for an owner!

Developers are all multi-millionaires and they mingle among themselves so they think a RM 1 million condo is the norm. They forget to check the number of zeros on the pay slips they sign every month for their staff!

Gucci, one of my favorite brands, will NOT reduce its prices by 6%. This is because they have been absorbing the 6% GST tax for the past few years to keep their prices competitive!

Since the installation of GST, Gucci Malaysia has been losing 6% of their profits but with the annulment they will regain their rightful 6% profit. This is true as the prices of Gucci KL and Gucci Zurich are practically the same, even after VAT!

However other brands which have been charging 6% GST will now reduce their prices by 6%. A few other labels which have absorbed GST will tell you so while those who will be reducing prices by 6% will let you know they will deduct 6% like right now today before 1 June so buying that bag, dress, shoes or accessory will cost the same before and after 1 June. Or else they might as well close shop till 1 June.

A RM 15,000 designer bag after 1 June 2018 will cost RM 900 less so why buy now when you save save nearly one thousand ringgit after 1 June 2018?

High end items like Rolex or Cartier that easily costs RM 300,000 will now be a staggering RM 18,000 less! Think of the number of prostitutes you can pay, I mean number of peaches, pears and pomegranates you can eat and enjoy.

Shops that unable to reduce the 6% GST now can look forward to a boom in retail sales so I guess in the end same, same la. Twiddle their thumbs now until tomolo then see them turn red or purple from counting the RM 10, RM 50 and RM 100 notes!

AIR ASIA'S ASININE ANSWER FROM TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES ---- CLASSIC CASE OF JUMPING OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE! ONE FOOLISH MISTAKE LEADING TO ANOTHER! TSK TSK

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

NOW THAT THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT IS AFTER TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES, HE MAY BE MOVING OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT OF THE AIRASIA/BARISAN NASIONAL DEBACLE INTO ANOTHER HORRID, TORRID INTERROGATIVE LIGHT.

BUT BEFORE WE FORGET THE ONGOING LOCAL CONTROVERSY, HERE IS THE LITANY OF MISTAKES AND MISSTEPS.

MISTAKE #1;
TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES SHOULD NOT HAVE OPENLY AND BLATANTLY PRAISED, PROMOTED AND PUBLICISED BARISAN NASIONAL AND DATO SRI NAJIB RAZAK AND LAUNCHED A PRO-BN PROPAGANDA.

ALL HE NEEDED TO DO WAS ASK HIS STAFF WHO THEY WERE VOTING FOR AND HE WOULD DISCOVER DATO SRI NAJIB WAS NOT GOING TO WIN 'MR POPULAR PRIME MINISTER 2018' TITLE.

I ASKED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF FRIENDS AND NEAR STRANGERS IN THE MONTHS LEADING TO 9 MAY 2018 AND ALL BUT 2 SAID THEY WERE VOTING OPPOSITION.

EITHER THEY WERE LYING TO ME OR PAKATAN HARAPAN WAS GOING TO WIN HANDS DOWN. SO TAN SRI TONY SHOULD HAVE STOOD HIS GROUND AND NOT, AS HE SAID, "BUCKLE UNDER THE PRESSURE".

I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE A BOLLYWOOD TYPE HERO LIKE TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES COULD SO EASILY AND PATHETICALLY "BUCKLE UNDER THE PRESSURE" UNLESS HE WAS A WILLING VICTIM.

HE SHOULD HAVE STOOD HIS GROUND AND INSIST AIRASIA SUPPORT ALL MALAYSIANS. ANYWAY HE DID JUST THAT WHEN HE REFUSED TO REMOVE TAN SRI RAFIDAH AZIZ AS NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN FOR CRITICISING UMNO AND BARISAN.

AND DIDN'T HE GO SEE TUN DR MAHATHIR WHO WAS PRIME MINISTER IN 2001 WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE OVER AN EXISTING BUT DEBT-RIDDEN AIRLINE CALLED AIRASIA INSTEAD OF STARTING FROM SCRATCH?

AIRASIA WAS OWNED BY GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED CONGLOMERATE DRB-HICOM AND DR MAHATHIR OFFERED TONY FERNANDES AIRASIA FOR RM 1 PROVIDED TONY TOOK OVER AIRASIA'S DEBT OF US$11 MILLION? TONY REPAID THE DEBT WITHIN 12 MONTHS AND TODAY, FORBES ESTIMATES HE IS WORTH RM 2.6 BILLION! BY COINCIDENCE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT THE MYSTERIOUS SAUDI ROYAL BANKED INTO NAJIB'S ACCOUNT! WALAO EH

NOW THAT TAN SRI TONY IS VERY DE SUCCESSFUL, SHOULDN'T HE HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY IT WAS DR MAHATHIR MOHAMED WHO GAVE HIM THE CHANCE TO FLY TO THE SKY?

OF COURSE IT IS EASY FOR TAN SRI TONY TO BLAME DATO SRI NAJIB NOW THAT NAJIB IS NO LONGER PRIME MINISTER AND CLAIM NAJIB PRESSURISED HIM AND PRACTICALLY ARM TWISTED HIM TO SING BARISAN NASIONAL'S SONG. MANY SAY IT IS LIKE KICKING A MAN IN HIS GROIN WHEN HE IS DOWN ON THE GROUND.

TO RELEASE THAT FATAL VIDEO SHOWING HIM PRAISING BARISAN AND NAJIB TO HIGH HEAVEN ONLY IRRITATED ALL HIS POTENTIAL PASSENGERS AND TO PAINT ONE OF HIS PLANES WITH BARISAN'S #HebatkanNegaraKu THEME WAS ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE.

MISTAKE #2
TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES SHOULD NOT HAVE APOLOGISED SO PROFUSELY AFTER BARISAN NASIONAL LOST!

THE VAST MAJORITY OF MALAYSIANS VOTED PAKATAN HARAPAN BECAUSE OF TUN MAHATHIR, DATO SRI ANWAR IBRAHIM, RISING COSTS OF LIVING, 1MDB AND GST AS OVERNIGHT WE HAD TO PAY 6% EXTRA FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF GOODS!

AFTER THE ELECTION TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES SHOULD HAVE JUST CONGRATULATED TUN MAHATHIR AND PAKATAN HARAPAN OR EVEN BETTER, KEEP QUIET!

INSTEAD HE THOUGHT BY TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORN, HE WOULD EMERGE BRUISED BUT A HERO. INSTEAD HE EMERGED BRUISED, BATTERED AND BROKEN.

WHEN TAN SRI TONY WAS FAWNING AND LICKING NAJIB'S FEET, TONY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO! IT WAS TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES'S LEGAL RIGHT TO SUPPORT ANY NON-CRIMINAL MALAYSIAN TO BE PRIME MINISTER!

UNTIL THIS VERY SECOND, DATO SRI NAJIB TUN RAZAK IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY---THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL LAW.

SO TAN SRI TONY SHOULD NOT HAVE GROVELLED AT OUR FEET AND SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE AND HOW HE REGRETTED SUPPORTING BARISAN. THIS MAY BE TRUE IN HINDSIGHT BUT HEY, WHEN TONY WAS SALUTING NAJIB, THE SON OF TUN ABDUL RAZAK WAS LEGALLY MALAYSIA'S PRIME MINISTER AND ANYONE AND EVERYONE HAD THE RIGHT TO SUPPORT HIM. OR NOT TO SUPPORT HIM.

DATO SRI NAJIB WAS LEGALLY ELECTED AND VOTED AS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND HE WAS PRESIDENT OF BARISAN NASIONAL AND AS PRESIDENT OF UMNO, HE HAD THE RIGHT TO BE THE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA. SO TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES DID NOTHING WRONG BY EULOGIZING OR GOING INTO RAPTURES OVER HIM.

WHEN SYED SADDIQ ASKED MALAYSIANS NOT TO LABEL TAN SRI TONY AS 'TRAITOR' , SO MANY WERE OUTRAGED THEY EVEN CALLED SYED SADDIQ A 'TRAITOR FOR SUPPORTING A TRAITOR'! MAY BUDDHA BLESS ME!

WE ARE NOW RHAPSODIZING OVER OUR CURRENT PRIME MINISTER TUN MAHATHIR AND BEFORE 9 MAY 2018 WE COULD HAVE BEEN WAXING LYRICAL OVER OUR THEN PRIME MINISTER DATO SRI NAJIB RAZAK!

SO WHY APOLOGISE, TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES?

YOU SHOULD HAVE STOOD YOUR GROUND AND SAY YOU WERE SIMPLY EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN OF MALAYSIA BY SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY WHICH WAS LEGALLY ELECTED BY MALAYSIAN VOTERS. AND IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT THE SAME VOTERS HAD NOW CHANGED THEIR MIND AND DECIDED TO VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION!

BY DOING THIS AT LEAST PEOPLE WILL GRUDGINGLY ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GUTS AND SAY "WELL, MALAYSIA IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY AND WE CAN VOTE FOR ANY PARTY"

YOU DID NOTHING WRONG NOR GO AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION BY OPENLY SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY JUST AS YOU ARE NOW (PROBABLY!) SUPPORTING THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY!

ALL THIS BRINGS ONE QUESTION---WHAT IF BARISAN HAD WON?

WOULD TAN SRI TONY FERNANDES BE APOLOGISING OR CELEBRATING WITH THE TRIUMPHANT INCUMBENT PRIME MINISTER DATO SRI NAJIB RAZAK? WOULD HE REPAINT ALL AIRASIA PLANES THE BARISAN NASIONAL COLOUR AND LOGO?

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE A STAND OR ELSE YOU TURN LEFT, KENA SLAPPED, TURN RIGHT KENA SLAPPED AND WORSE, STANDING STILL ALSO KENA SLAPPED. THIS IS LIFE.
