Low wages i agree. High taxes? Malaysia income tax is not high enough. Plus majority ppl (probably include the "real" B40) doesn't even 'qualified' to pay tax.

In MY, after deduction/relief, i only pay less than 10% of my income, which is quite low already.
(Especially compare to my previous career back in Aust which i paid over 20%.) For higher income (especially employee), expect to pay more taxes but still quite low. Imagine those earning less than 100k, the taxes they pay are way too little. Don't forget the subsidies (tongkat) 'given' by the gov, it is basically 'peanuts'.
