Does this answer your questions?? Yes we are more fortunate if compared to say, bangladesh or zimbabwe. But how do we stand if compared to korea, australia or even singapore? We are not 3rd world country anymore. U can't say yourself fortunate having a nasi lemak in a stall while others are having a banquet in hotels. U know what i'm saying bro? Unlike in japan, us, singapore etc we pay much more for slower internet. Now the slow and limited internet is going to even more limited by blockage. Malaysian people are already suffering from inflation while there's virtually no growth in per capita income, then the GOVERNMENT impose more TAXES and lowers subsidy. I'm a government servant, but even I can't understand what they're doing. Think buddy, think...
Yes . If we compare broadband prices, yes, we are over paying like hell in Msia.
But someone brought other stuffs that has nothing to do with internet up as well.
These;
1. Petrol price went up from 1.80 to 1.90 (Government say they won't increase the price for the time being because they are earning much other sources below)
2. RM50 annual tax imposed for every credit card (different from annual fee charged by bank)
3. 6% tax on for paid television service (astro)
4. BISP allowance for teachers abolished.
5. Water and electricity price rate increase.
I've lived in 3 other developed countries before, 2 of them were mentioned by you.
yes, broadband is more affordable if you earn in their currency but not for those other things listed by him.
Furthermore, he seems to be so confident that PR won't increase the things that are being increased by the current gov't.
So far, I didn't hear the opposition claiming that they wouldn't increase this and that if they were running the show.
Even if they did, it is easier said than done with the current prices of oil going up and up.
Everywhere in the world prices are going up. WHat makes them think that we can maintain current prices?
Anyways, I am totally against this ban.
Who is the gov't trying to suck up to?
There are other things that are more important to be done...
