I would do the following :-

1.) Cut the civil service by 50%
2.) Deregulate the economy and make corporate tax, income tax and GST to be 5% Also implement a state and local area income tax of 3% and 1% respectively. Economics and resources to be a state and local area matter rather than Federal matter, Federal government's responsibility is to manage defence, foreign policy, education, healthcare, national water, telecommunications and power grid and reserve bank.
3.) No more funding for any religious organizations, JAKIM, JAWI etc would be funded by Zakat only.
4.) Implement a Bill of Rights.
5.) Free visas for Whites and Japanese, Koreans as well as Taiwanese who earn at least US$120,000 per year and they can operate her tax free on condition they hire at least 5 local persons.
6.) All 3rd world migrants sent home.
7.) All oil palm plantations to be demolished and rain forests to be replanted then sold as carbon credits with a very sustainable logging policy.
8.) Proton to be 100% sold to Geely, Perodua 100% sold to Daihatsu and be taxed like any other car. Cars to be taxed based upon real world fuel economy and emissions, then by weight and dimensions. Motorbikes banned. New national rail system and strong emphasis on rail transport.
9.) Pro-America and Pro-Europe policies.
10.) 2-term limit on PM, MPs and judiciary. The following to be elected by the public :- President, PM, MPs, Senators, State legislators, City Councillors and mayors as well as state police commissioners.

1.) There are 1,600,000 civil employees at the moment. What ideas do you have for the private sector to absorb 800,000 jobs?

2.) The states already on insanely unequal footing. This would make it worse, not better. Also, dropping taxes so drastically would exacerbate the federal debt

3.) No more funding for any religious organizations, JAKIM, JAWI etc would be funded by Zakat only. - Good luck with your constituency

4.) Implement a Bill of Rights. - It is better if the common person has stronger understanding of legal matters/rights

5.) Copy pasting SG/Aus/Western style may at best yield mixed results

6.) Hello inflation. Cost of services and goods will be through the roof, and we are going to be out priced by just about everyone. Although we "only" have 60% as many migrant workers, even modern automatic Gundam Robot Neo-Japan has over 1.6 million of em

7.) Rain forests do not grow over night, and there is a reason why palm oil is in demand. We do not plant it just for fun, and it CAN be planted sustainably. Alternatives are arguably even more carbon expensive

8.) Yes rail transport improvement should be lauded. Ownership of Proton/Perodua, eh, is it even important enough to care?

9.) Pro-America and Pro-Europe policies. - Insanely short sighted. I could type up a huge storm about this topic


*
1.) There are ways to do so, naturally many of them retire each year and easiest to just not replace them. It can be done over 3-10 years.

2.) You also seem to forget that with such a low tax regime it would spur plenty of economic growth and 80% of people pay no taxes at all in this country. If implemented properly that low tax rate probably will bring in more money than it does now.

3.) It has to be done in stages.

4.) A Bill of Rights is a good starting point.

5.) Any immigration policy will have its pros and cons. However it is better to have high value ones than those from less desirable 3rd world places.

6.) Are you sure on this?? Do you realize it cost equally as much if not more in wages to hire foreign labor? Again it has to be done in stages.

7.) There are fast growing trees and there is always bamboo as well. Having as much oil palms are essentially putting all eggs in 1 basket.

8.) My point is there won't be a national car program any longer. Rail and public transport would be the main stay of transportation and it should also be one of the main drivers of economic growth.

9.) Why??
