You can increase your price 100% also if you want.

Can't afford is can't afford lo. Especially if people salary do not increase 7%.

Current service tax for restaurant is 6%. Proposed GST is 4%. So, if GST of 4% is imposed, eating in restaurant is in fact cheaper ! I supposed they have more business and make more money instead of closing down ? 

Small eateries is exempt from GST just like the service tax now so they are not affected

Factories and manufacturers are not affected as GST only affects the end users. Factories can actually claim back GST they paid to their suppliers. The only concern is whether their supplier will mark up first before charging the GST

The houses will be part of a township comprising 2,090 houses in total, to be launched by 2016. It will be the company’s first major township in north Klang, said Sime Darby group COO Dato’ Wahab Maskan at the launch. The project was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Growing consumer debt puts Malaysia’s economy at risk
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysi...conomy-at-risk/

Evidence from Malaysia” – says a “structural transformation to modernize service trade could pave the way for Malaysia to become a developed country.”
But it warns: “While other developing countries are reaping the benefits of globalization of services, Malaysia has yet to take advantage of this phenomenon.”
Thne incoming government has plenty to think about.

According to latest numbers by MIDA, FDI inflows jump 90% y-o-y to approx. US$6 billion in just 1 quarter (3 months).

FDIs in these computations is not the capital inflows that our stock market received (which is even more robust).

Malaysia is also looking at a record-breaking year for foreign exchange reserve as well as tourist arrivals (mainly middle incomers from ASEAN, China, India, Saudi Arabia and South Korea).

Was at a conference lately and apaprently they say more than 470 global MNCs pledge to invest and re-invest in Malaysia (say only).

Amongst them are Cargill, my employer Schlumberger, Standard Chartered, Technip, BASF, Emerson, Siemens, Novartis, Huawei Technologies, The Linde Group, Tesco, Hennes & Mauritz, Finmeccanica, Intel, BMW Malaysia, Citigroup Transaction Services, Flextronics, JP Morgan Chase, General Electric (mainly Oil & Gas division), Capitaland (new project in KL?), Panasonic, Foster Wheeler, British Telecom, AEON & Co., CMA CGM, AECOM, Dairy Farm International/Jadine Matheson (will unveil a new retail venture for Msia), etcccc

"Despite an overall 7% decline in FDI inflows to the ASEAN, some countries in this group of economies appear to be a bright spot: preliminary data show that inflows to Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam grew in 2012," Unctad said.

A huge RM43 billion problem over non-bank lending

A major problem is brewing in the financial services sector— specifically through the lending of development financial institutions (DFIs), non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) and credit cooperatives. This is in the form of a near two thirds increase in personal financing last year by these non-bank institutions to RM43 billion last year.
