I have a question for you. You invest now in various overseas market to prepare for retirement right? Or at least some life goals in the future, I hope?
So that means at some point later in life, say for example when you retire, you need to spend those money that you invested, obviously they have to be brought back to Malaysia for you to spend on retirement, no?
Or you plan to retire elsewhere?
Or say that money is for your wedding, (you are still single?Â

) then when you wed in M'sia, obviously you have to repatriate that money back to spend in the end.
So by hook or by crock, a portion of your money will have to come back to Malaysia anyhow in the future, you can't escape unless you go through the "illegal" route. Of course in the cases above, I assume the tax laws remain the same, which might not be.
Bro, I have never withdraw my money for I think 7-8 years already. All my salary all dump overseas.
How to retire?
Simple. Use epf and savings.
I planned to move to new Zealand,, Canada or Portugal or Finland or Netherlands.
My savings rate already 75%. If I need something just save up for it. Remember my overseas investment are now self reliant already thanks to options. I don't need to transfer money overseas anymore and still can continue to invest and grow my wealth and still get cash flow to fund my investment account. Another perks of not being a dividend Investor. If I cont to be dividend Investor, I need to wait 12 years for it to happen or don't know how many donkey years.
But I do see having to pay tax on that. Hence I am going to register myself and vote after all this while. Retirement is a long journey. Say another 10 years time, 10 years time govt tax may change (highly doubt it) or govt change can happen. No one expect BN to lose right?
I expect they are going to piss off lots of online seller with that tax. So anything can happen.
