I just had to add this. The freakin’ Finance Bill is bilingual. Here’s an extract of what is virtually the kind of language hopping you get to see in every page of the Bill…
4. Akta Cukai Pendapatan 1967, yang disebut “Akta ibu” dalam Bab ini, dipinda dalam seksyen 2 dengan memasukkan selepas subseksyen (8) subseksyen yang berikut:
“(9) Any reference in subsection 107C(4A), paragraph 2A of Schedule 1 and paragraph 19A of Schedule 3 to a company which has a paid-up capital in respect of ordinary shares of two million five hundred thousand ringgit and less tat the beginning of the basis period for a year of assessment shall exclude a company which is established for the issuance of asset-backed securities in a securitization transaction approved by the Securities Commission.”
Must be a 1Malaysia thing… the Education Ministry promotes language changes every decade or so, so should everyone else.

Awesome find? Are there multiple instances of this sort of thing? Sorry, too lazy to actually read through the thing myself.
TD: *Nod* *Nod* The whole Bill’s like that.
