QUOTE(minimize @ Oct 21 2010, 10:27 AM) Maybe our government want used that money for next general election. They never listen to our reasoning, soon public toilets too need to pay service tax ! Astro has 3 million subscribers imagine what is 6 %, shld be enough to start constructing Warisan Tower ! Tax should not be imposed right now because our FTA (Free To Air) TV is worst in term of quality and coverage.  Even now its unclear why we pay service tax at fast food and not the operators infact they make money they shld pay why are we paying ? Like phone bills we use we pay tax right ?

If we compare pay TV like StarHub, they also imposed tax but their package price is still low compare to astro price. And please don't convert our ringgit to Singapore dolar. |

Yes why not we all get as many to sign forward the petition if no reponse within one month we all give auto instruction to cut off sports packLook at this reply: The standard FB format ! Hi Bardia, the programming of ESPNEWS is controlled by the channels themselves and not Astro. However we will forward your request to ESPN for their attention. |
