If they do this, better give in coupon to buy necessity. If give money, will use for other thing.

But I think better to try reduce price.

He should actually ask to see Tengku Zafruls targeted subsidy work to date. Cos I suspect the work memang stopped half way. Targeted subsidy is like an urban legend at this rate. Too difficult and too painful to implement

Just continue with BKM method

So many resources have been use since Najib BR1M era

Targeted subsidy is the way forward

Rakyat just need to declare source of income to LHDN to qualify

And stop blanket style subsidy like fuel and cooking oil

all those subsidi will somehow at the end become ineffective
better start focus on education, economy development, create more job opportunity, rather than patching here and there with subsidi

can start by lowering job requirement of degree holder that will open up alot of job opportunity and aligned with actual job scope, many job just poyo put degree holder requirement but actually just kuli/labour type job scope

I think they can utilise the ewallet, example government give RM100 in ewallet, but it can only go through when purchasing certain grocery

Only can happen if we do the theoretical Modern Monetary Theory(MMT), money printing without causing inflation, whatever subsidies or project funding etc planned, after everything completed, forget it, go to next project etc, whatever amount you print, it ends there, move on. To control inflation, use taxation for all businesses.

Very controversial theory of money from the 1970s, sounds impossible, but all the top economies doing it probably partially, coz some country print like hell but inflation is not that high, something we need to learn.

Give money to people > money circulate via buy/sell good > economy goes up.
downside : more money = less value, however how much less value is unclear

Its never going to be fair , reduce harga barang or UBI is good enough, instead of giving coupon or cash or targeted subsidy.

Targetted subsidy too many loopholes. Roadside stalls owner probably m40 or t20, but enjoy b40 subsidy? And actual M40 categorize as T20 paying 20% tax, enjoy nthg?

If Anwar introduces too many tax or many unpopular income to Govt at the expense of rakyat, it’s gonna cost future elections.

Just look at previous short term PH Govt in GE14 cost cutting effect to the rakyat…

Use ic n mesjahtera app probably, when buying groceries, b40 enjoy some discount that grocers can claim back from government like gst? Including petrol station, use ic to tap then can get cheaper rate, after that petrol station claim back the discount from government or contra income tax (ala gst)

Do the subsidi bersasar first. i expect we do it USA's food stamp style, But instead, we do "digital fuel stamp" that is nontransferable and. That way people will think twice to go out. and of course fuel price will be free floating according to market.

UBI maybe do it later if they ever want to do it, though i don't like it . maybe after GST.

Just get everyone to file taxes even if they don't make enough to pay taxes. Then randomly audit these B40s to see if they really legit or not including spot checks to their houses. Of course you'll have to beef up LHDN numbers first like what the US is doing with their IRS (87,000 extra hires) just to crack down on SMEs tax-dodging. Most of the leakages are in the SMEs and you could easily recover tens if not hundred of millions of unpaid taxes there.

Nobody wants to name the economists.

Because they do not want to be accountable when this policy screws up.

Name the economist, where they graduate from and where they work now.

You mean like Central Bank Digital Currency that can be programmed to only allow purchasing certain things and if you don't do what the government says, your coupons are deleted?

True story I once stepped in to a K1M to buy something. The malay worker spoke in reasonable cantonese to tell me, bro you better off buying that next door. I think it was condensed milk kek

But on a serious note cash handouts like BR1M and BSH still the best. Even Mydin complained he took a hit running these stores. And in the end he was accused of profiteering also.

Free money, as much as it pains for me to say this, IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

People who get money needs to generate something in return to add value to the money circulation. Otherwise it will become worthless.

There are better ways to help us. Free money IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

this is how they want you to own nothing and be happy while milking you for the upcoming years and generations.

UBI need a lot of automation involved since malaysia is still very much labor intensive. it might work with cbdc and tokenize the citizens.

in the end the 1% wins.
