Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) dikritik kerana tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap 'jerung, buaya besar' seperti mereka yang didakwa terlibat dalam aktiviti pengubahan wang haram berkaitan skandal 1MDB.
Jangan amalkan sikap pilih kasih, kata Lim Guan Eng kepada pihak berkuasa pencukaian hari ini, sepatutnya LHDN meluaskan hasil buruan mereka kepada Jho Low dan bukan hanya jutawan yang gagal membayar cukai.
Ketua menteri Pulau Pinang itu mengulas laporan yang Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) sedang menggiatkan usaha untuk memburu jutawan dan ahli perniagaan yang mengelak membayar cukai.
Guan Eng merujuk kepada rampasan terkini LHDN sebanyak RM126 juta daripada Pengerusi Country Heights Holdings Bhd, Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew.
LHDN juga telah memberi amaran kepada pemimpin korporat dan ahli perniagaan untuk tidak mengelak daripada membayar cukai.
The great liar protecting his comrade thief...
“Kerajaan sudah kehabisan duit dan melakukan apa sahaja untuk mendapatkan duit sekarang. LHDN dilaporkan memburu ahli perniagaan dan ini akan memberikan kesan buruk kepada perniagaan.
“Tetapi mereka sepatutnya memburu semua orang, terutama sekali lelaki muda dari Pulau Pinang, Jho Low yang didakwa mempunyai berbilion ringgit. Sekiranya LHDN gagal memburu Jho Low, ramai akan mempersoalkan sikap pilih kasih LHDN.
“Kutip setiap sen dari Jho Low dan mereka yang terlibat dalam skandal 1MDB. Kenapa ambil tindakan kepada ikan bilis sahaja tetapi tak ambil tindakan terhadap buaya besar?” kata Lim semasa sidang media di Komtar hari ini.
Low, atau nama sebenarnya Low Taek Jho, ialah ahli perniagaan berusia 30-an berasal dari Pulau Pinang, yang dipercayai menjadi dalang skandal 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
LHDN kini sedang memburu jutawan yang gagal membayar cukai bernilai jutaan ringgit, turut mengeluarkan amaran yang penguatkuasaan lebih ketat akan dilaksanakan tahun ini dengan lebih banyak audit dan siasatan dilakukan.
Pada bulan Mac lalu, Perdana Menteri Najib Razak dilaporkan memberitahu Dewan Rakyat yang jumlah cukai pendapatan tidak dikutip sehingga 31 Disember tahun lepas dianggarkan berjumlah RM6.8 bilion.– malaysianinsight
Petrol Stations Closing Down Pula...
Petrol station operators hit by weekly swing in fuel prices.Many petrol station operators giving up operations. They can no longer cope with weekly swing in retail fuel prices Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) said, since Dec 2014, 30 to 40 stations per brand surrendered operations.
More in recent weeks following weekly price change mechanism April 1.More dealers will give up dealership if trend continues.Shell, Petronas, BHP, Caltex, Petron nationwide are affected. Continue Reading...
First of all fuel is an absolute necessity. The market and the demand is still there - at least for foreseeable future.
After decades of subsidies, the fuel prices are now more market driven. This is where the gomen does not know how to handle the situation. In this country most things the gomen does are far, far removed from the market.
Put in some market forces and they go haywire. Another classic case of the gomen interfering in business. Why not let the market set its own prices?
In the US for example each individual gas station determines their own selling price. Just let the oil companies Shell, Petronas, BHP, Caltex, Petron determine their own prices.
The petrol stations are usually franchise operators. If Shell, Petronas, BHP, Caltex, Petron cannot sell their petrol and diesel, then they will suffer losses. So it is the oil companies that will have to manage the situation with their franchisees.
As the PDAM fellows are complaining the commission due to petrol dealers should also be reviewed . This is an internal matter between the oil companies and the petrol stations. The gomen should not get involved in micro-managing the petrol station business.
The market should find its own solution. All we need to do is allow sufficient market forces to come into play.
Conclusion : For the past 40 years there has been massive gomen intervention in almost every aspect of economic pricing in this country.
The price of fuel, the price of rice, the prices of cars, the price of anything and everything has seen gomen interference and meddling. The net result is that the Malaysian consumer has always been paying more than what we should be paying.
Some grades of rice are cheaper in Australia and Singapore than in Malaysia. In the US and Europe cars cost one third or half the price in Malaysia.
Yet the unknowing consumers in Malaysia just accept their fate. These are real issues worth gathering for at the Dataran Merdeka. But the masses are meek. So we get abused.
With the collapse in oil prices (with no recovery in sight like forever) the great 'lets-burn-our-oil-money' experiment of the past 40 years or so is coming to an end.
Now we have to learn to deal with reality. The reality is the free and open market awaits us. This is the greatest ocean that anyone can sail in. It is the greatest gift of paradise here on earth.
Ignoring the free market has brought some sections of our society to their present predicament. Ignore the market at your great peril. Sooner or later the market will catch up. This is happening now not just in Malaysia but in all the despotic oil producing countries.
Market forces may cause a stinging sensation in the beginning but in the long run, things will settle down. Fuel prices may jump up (or maybe down) and cause initial turbulence but in the long run, they will settle down.
The gomen policy makers should not get too involved. In the US, UK and the West the Harvard educated and the Cambridge educated do not try to mess as much with the market forces. Do our village kids really expect to be cleverer?
Deregulation and freeing the market will grow our economy and advance the people. Anything else will create problems. - ostb
