Hi my dear Readers, I just read some of Malaysian Local online news. I would like to share a little bit after finish reading them. It is about the decisions that the government has made and going to be implemented next year. They are both very beneficial for all Malaysians. Yet, they are some drawbacks.
The Government's 2011 Implementations:
● The ministry of Education is going to implement "Standardization of Education in Primary School" also Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR) in Malay. Also, under this implementation, the amount of weekly class would be fixed at 1,380 minutes for all Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKc), Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK), and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan India (SJKi). 教育部開始推行小學標準課程（KSSR），而在新制度下的國小、華小和淡小的每週上課時間將統一為1千380分鐘。
● For house (property) buyer not more than RM220,000.00 whom monthly household income lower than RM3,000.00, the government will help to pay the 10% down payment. In other words, they are eligible for 100% house loan. 家庭收入在3000令吉以下者，購買22萬令吉以下的首間房屋，10%頭期付款由政府擔保；換言之，他們可獲100%貸款。
● Malaysian citizens whom purchase house (Property) for the first time + does not exceed RM350,000.00 + the agreement is made between 1st Jan 2010 and 1st Jan 2011, are eligible for 50% waiver stamp duty charge. 2011年1月1日至2012年12月31日簽署的房屋買賣合約，首次購置房屋且價格不超過35萬令吉的國民，可享有房屋買賣合約及貸款合約，分別豁免50%印花稅的優惠。
● Increase in house loan for Government servants from existing RM360,000.00 to RM450,000.00. 公務員可申請的房屋貸款從現有的36萬令吉，增加至45萬令吉。
● Increase in maternity leave for Government servants from existing 60 to 90 days. Eventhough during that period of time they are eligible to receive FULL salary. The only limitation is that the total leave taken throughout the whole employment should not exceed a total of 300 days. 女性公務員的產假，由目前的60天增至90天，且可領全薪；不過，這項福利的前提是有關公務員在服務任期內，最多只能獲得300天的產假。
● 內陸稅收局將從明年起全面落實電子資金轉賬（ETF）措施，以將退稅直接匯入納稅人的個人銀行戶頭，儘可能減少以支票的形式付還退稅。(Fail to translate~, I'm sorry)
● Employers have to pay an additional of RM120.00 Medical Insurance for each immigrant worker. 僱主必須為新聘外勞購買120令吉的醫藥保險。
● Increase of 1% to 6% on existing Service Tax which is 5%. 現有5%的服務稅調高1%至6%。
● Audience has to pay an additional of 6% Service Tax for Satelite Television, i.e. ASTRO TV. 付費電視必須在月費中向顧客徵收6%服務稅。
● Products need government's MC stamp of approval for sales from 1st February 2011. Goods are to be sophisticated if fail to do so.國內貿易、合作社及消費部規定從2011年2月1日起，國內所有上架的兒童玩具必須貼上“MC”（大馬符合）標籤，以證明產品遵守生產指南，沒有標上有關標簽的玩具，將被沒收。
● Food products need to meet "3P" requirements by 2011. 政府將嚴厲執行食品管理法令，強制所有入口蔬果必須標明“3P標簽”，及等級分類、標簽及包裝。
● Rice traders that have stocks not more than 2000kilo are not needed to participate in the Record of Buy and Sell for Rice.白米庫存量少於2萬公斤的雜貨商，可以豁免執行米糧買賣記錄填報的措施。
● The Penang Government will lauch its "None free plastic bag" starting from 1st Jan 2011" campaign. Also, food stall venders are not allowed to use any polystryene at all. 檳州政府從明年1月1日開始推行“全年無免費塑料袋”措施及小販禁用保麗龍。
After reading this, I skype with my mum and told her that we better cut off our ASTRO watch only the national TV channels, TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7 and 8TV. hahaha... Sure very boring... What I still remember is that there will be some nice and funny Bollywood movies on Saturday 3pm... :) hahaha...
All in all, Malaysia is marching forward to its VISION 2020 introduced by the then Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. By 2020, Malaysia will be a developed country too (Hope so)...~
