Hello, taxpayers. Yes, I have been thinking long and hard about starting a blog about the profession I am in. I’m sick of seeing people roll their eyes whenever they hear that cursed word that is so closely associated with “death”, so, I decided to straighten out (or affirm) some misconceptions. Tax is a great topic to bash and occasionally to discuss too, believe it or not. Of course, there are many potentially undesirable repercussions one could end up with for deciding to air one’s frustrations or have a general ramble about the major source of our government’s internally sourced revenue. Because firstly, you’re not really THAT anonymous, not even with a stupid name like “Taxy Driver” to hide behind. Second, you are always underpaying something in their books. Always.
So, why am I here? I am an avid and frequent reader of many types of blogs. So, it comes only naturally that I start one. A Malaysian tax blog is long overdue and much needed, as you’ll find out why if you plan to follow my posts. Of course, there’s this site, but I think the creators kinda ignored it for about a year now.
Okay, now, a warning. Rely on anything said here at your own risk, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. I started this blog for me. I rant, I don’t advise. This blog is just so I can to poke fun, vent some and perhaps, even meet a kindred spirit or two. Why? So that I don’t end up in an asylum in a few years time for whacking an Inland Revenue officer senseless. This is my therapy. I need it so that I can pay my taxes and do my day job without causing physical harm to those around me.
Those of you who might be interested, just keep a lookout on this space… otherwise, thanks for reading till the end of this post.
