I can’t take this. Seriously cannot take this.
Here. Read.
What kinda tax parallel can there be to that? Well, the word “guideline” comes to mind. More of how public rulings, those supposed tax authorities’ interpretation of how the tax laws are to be administered are supposed to be merely guidelines – not something that is supposed to be law, even if it stinks like an undead one. Not something that requires you to bare all in your tax returns in declaring whether you are or are not following their guidelines. Not something that factors into whether you are or are not chosen for their “yes, its a random pick” field audit if you ticked the box stating that you’re not a “guideline follower”. Definitely not something that automatic penalty of 45% of tax for underdeclaration is supposed to hit.
So, to non-tax practitioners… having enforceable “guidelines” that requires additional investments in times when money is tight just to achieve “a moral switch” is old hat to us. Welcome to our world. Now allow me to go puke some blood and buy a dryer with my 10 sen petrol savings.

Hmmh…Najib, talking about laundry. I’m sure he’s into hiding his laundry from society…clean or more so the dirty ones…you wont catch that man washing dirty laundry in public !! And if he can’t do it in public, he makes sure the public can’t do it either..Besides, who would want to see Rosmah’s underwear hanging outside their mansion..it’s hard enough to look at her knowing that dirty laundry they stack in some dark dirty corner….
Wait..did he not come up with another remark regarding the “govern”ment preserving vernacular schools?!! Can he just widen the gap in between his statements a bit more so that we all have ample time to recover from these ass-fissure-inducing statements?!!!!
Taxy: Was just wondering why the Deputy Prime Minister was making such announcements… the Local & Housing Ministry’s perview don’t include non-house-houses, I suppose. Still can’t get over the flippin’ “moral switch” speech.

Najib talking about moral…you’re right, a bit hard to stomach. Maybe he’s actually talking about himself, in subconscious level. Maybe he does have that thing called guilty conscience after all. Maybe it’s eating him up every time he shuts his eyes to go to sleep (having Rosmah by his side in bed is not exactly what anyone would call a good excuse to stay up all night and jimmy jam) and have midsummer Mongolian night dreams…I can go on and on with the maybes and get drown in an abyss of them…it’s just kinder to the boggling mind to think of him as just an imbecile…you can’t get angry with retards can you?
Taxy: No, you’re right. I can’t.
