What is you are assuming is people paying tax now will get their income tax lowered in place of GST ala Singapore.
Personally, I don't think so, because the deficit is too high, and the govt has a lot more promises to fulfill. Lets see what happens.

I managed to fly back from Germany to vote. But i am really dissappointed with the dirty tactics used by BN to win the election.
Sudden blackout, sending in more boxes of additional votes by helicopter/car, FRU protecting VVIP (bangla) to vote & etc.

Well, back to topic, just my personal opinion, i think they will implement the GST for sure.
Looking back at how much they spend during the pre-election.
Full color advertisement on every mainstream newspaper, extensive advertisement on radio, tv, astro, google, you name it.

Will the implementation of GST impact the property market?
I don't know. Anyone care to share their views?
Feel free to comment.

Hai, our property agent friend,

I said can. Because our BN just need some % of vote from

these dirty trick.

& Our sweet promise this and that ( including affordable housing)

Yes, i do agree with the above statement.

I foresee prices falling due to the approach / methods used to win the GE. The news will definitely spread, and will negatively affect international investors... thus less inflow of funds and more outflow... but we'll see this is just my opinion.

If opp won, it would have been better, more funds coming into the country to support the prices... I guess everything happens for a reason... what this is remains to be seen.

mind to explain why must be before 1 july ?

Hmmm... wonder whether the cronies here will have their accounts frozen... lol!!!!

are we a growing nation or shrinking nation in terms of population?
do some research on the term growth population to understand better.

then do some research in terms of the supply.
the data available for supply, does it include:
1. soho?
2. sohai, soxo, sofo, sovo, etc?

previous supply sizes versus current supply sizes and its capacity to undertake the number of occupants.

we need to learn how to interpret reports and unfortunately many reports lacks key explanations on their databases.

1,000,000 units over 5 years.
200,000 units per year
545 units to be launched everyday to fulfill quota.
dream on....

If migrate is so easy then long long time already migrate lor.

Since MCA and Gelakan now dead - I think for you no hope la Tat.

Unless you convert and become bin Abdullah - then can join UMNO.

Tax is high but education is free, cars are cheap, good medical coverage when older... Australian produce is cheaper and better quality... milk, cheese, etc... Cod in UK is freaking cheap... go see how much it is here? And of course lets not forget, the alcohol there is also cheaper, IT equipment is cheaper and newer, home appliances also cheaper, clothing better quality and cheaper and lastly, earning AUD or other western currency can anytime have a holiday in Bolehland and eat all the crab you want!!!! ... crab now RM70 per kilo, crab 5 years ago RM30 per kilo, earn AUD and come back to eat crab is AUD23 per kilo in Bolehland... LOL!!!!! So based on living standard, Bolehland is crap!... Overcharged for internet, cable TV, cars, clothing, everything also over priced and lousy quality even the national cars sold her are worst quality compared to those exported.... and the list goes on and on and on... How much are strawberries here? there you help them pick and you eat for FREE!!! Here you try help them cook crab and they let you eat for FREE? LOL!!!!

Btw, in Australia there is no contribution to social security whereas in bolehland there is, Australia pays out pension funds to those above 60/65 therefore when you work you pay more tax... bolehland you pay less tax but contribute to social security (with the risk that all will go missing) LMFAO!!!

some fellas are laughing at the back. i think they are powerful too (in reality, not in cyberspace)...

they read those who replied, they dont understand which part of "silent" are they referring to LOL. ok, this time, i better silent also, else they will make others laughing again at the back...they say aunties in the wet market usually is like that hahahah

Property market vs Purchasing Power

In Bangkok, it is surprising they have so many "non-conventional" professionals such as fashion designers and artisans that earn big bucks. An average fashion designer can earn about USD15,000 a week. Considering their population size and purchasing power, it is no wonder that Urban Thais are demanding more and more sophisticated stuffs. And at the same time they are demanding higher and higher price properties... and go to hell with social housing.

Comparing to Malaysia, our Urban Malaysians are struggling to become salesman of any junk such as MLM or credit card and or struggling to even have an opportunity to see the blue skies in their professional jobs such as auditor or engineer. Even then, Urban Malaysians pay are absolutely low given that our productivity per capita is actually not that bad.

The only thing is we lacked creative means to earn big bucks, unlike the Thais. How many Malaysians are fashion designers? Or how many Malaysians actually buy local designer products? For every overseas products we buy, we have money outflow as imports weigh exports.

Here, we Malaysians are demanding social housing and welfare benefits.

Most Malaysians in overseas do not belong to my "creative" meaning. Most in UK are ordinary working people who still are nobody in UK.

In Thailand, the people cultures are different as they are very proud of their nation despite all the bad things like abuses and corruption and even religion problems within the Buddhists. The Chinese Thais have willingly gave up all that is "Chinese" and choose to assimiliate with the Native Thai and adopt everything Thai. By doing so, the combination of Native Thai and Chinese have produced a much better species - the Modern Urban Thais that are largely not racist like we Malaysians and not discriminatory against poorer neighboring country immigrants like Malaysians.

Similarly, the Filipinos and Indonesians are very proud people. They rather die than to give up to richer countries like Taiwan (haha). *they now accuse Malaysia as bad as Taiwan because of our Chinese people. LOL  (to some extent, the so-called natives of some ASEAN countries have similar mindset)

More Malaysians are actually coming back to Malaysia now and I guess not many will be swayed by a mere statement of a Minister (he can say whatever till the cats can fly).

simple answer, bn wants dumb Malaysian. If smart = problem for them to control and continue with the cheat and fooling.

More and more down camp people abandon ship ! Now switch to BBB mode 

Or all these while these down camp people playing double faced ? Hoping to create fear so that less people compete with them ?

Agreed. The hyperinflation in Zimbabwe was caused by forceful acquisition of private properties i.e. farm land. As a results, agricultural outputs went down as the original farmers were being displaced from their farms and had not been compensated at all. Subsequently, world powers like USA imposed credit freeze or other form of economic sanctions on the country. With lesser agricultural outputs and economic sanctions, Zimbabwe had little means to generate any revenue.

To become like Zimbabwe, the Malaysian government will need to confiscate our private properties. Now let us answer these two questions:
1. Do we think this is going to happen in Malaysia?
2. Most importantly, do we want this to happen?

You have to be out of your mind to answer Yes to the second question. The imagination of Red Bean Army could never be underestimated. I am being polite when I said imagination.
