Why I don't feel like paying...

There are only 2 certainties in life, death and taxes!

And events of late have strongly discourage me from even consider filing my tax submission form. I know the last day to submit my Borang BE is this coming Wednesday, 30th of April. But I know the laws have to be complied with. I don't want to pay unnecessary penalty or face problems in future.

But deep down, why should I keep paying to a government who can't balance the nation's budget properly? Or provide proper public services? Or keep forgetting the monies under the care of the State belong to the rakyat hence the Government should be transparent and accountable on how it is spent?

Oh well, this is my weak protest, via my blog. I will still fill in the form. Afterall, they already took most of my monies owing to the country via monthly deductions.

I can't wait for Malaysia Day. I eagerly wait for real change of guard.

This is being wishful thinking, hoping that they would change.

Dear chickenfeet,

I am waiting till 2.01 pm tomorrow to bank in my cheque for taxes due. I know it will take a few days before the money is cleared and physically in the coffers of the Federal government.

I could pay earlier but this is my way of protesting. They can't get a hold of my money that easily...:P
