Any answer yet?

Coz i have around 8-10 credit cards, mostly unused and ready to cancel if kena SST

First cc should be free and each cc should be charged 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 respectively.

hard to implement because banks don't know how many cards you have with other banks
so this system would require that you pay the government directly, with the banks reporting to the government how many cards each person own, tracked by IC maybe ?
But it'll be really hard to make people pay
or if it's 1st CC per bank is free, then it defeats the purpose

I don't agree with this tax but I don't think it is burdensome either, just cancel your cards en masse like what I'm doing now. If you don't spend a lot then not using CC is also an option, just stick to debit cards

i think they do share certain level of data, like if you have bad credit history with any banks, the rest of the banks knows too.

That is CCRIS, regulated by BNM.
Only for bad credit and current financial obligation (others loans, and monthly payment) not for info like how many cards you have, what is the credit limit on each card etc

so its not difficult to share other info too, since all they need is amount of cc for each person maybe plus the credit limit, and they dont need to update all these info everyday.

Privacy issues. I have serious concerns about the idea that banks can tell each other info about you like how many CC you have with them. Then maybe another bank will use this for marketing purposes and convince you to Balance Transfer to them. Under the current system other banks don't know anything unless you have defaulted

nope, not telling to each other banks, but to the gov ? since gov is the person who want to tax.
