About possibly more expensive goods and services

I'm now at a Subway joint in Shah Alam, waiting for my cousin.


That's my dinner.

Steak and cheese sandwich with lots of veggie. And Coke.

Not exactly healthy food but who cares, right.

Still got about an hour before my cousin is finished with whatever she's doing.

I'm fetching her home for the long weekend because she can't drive.

She's the one who enrolled at UiTM that day.

Well, I don't mind doing these sort of things.

Nothing much to write actually. Just killing time.

Okay may be I should tell you all this.

I think the prices of goods and services will go up quite a bit once the SST is implemented on Saturday.

In fact, some have already went up.

Just this morning my friend told me that the price of pre-cooked pizza she normally buys at Aeon Big supermarket has gone up.

It used to be RM4.70 per piece but now RM5.20.

I know, you all may say pizza is not an essential item, but that's not the case with my friend.

You see, my friend has a son who is with autism and the boy eats mostly pizza and roti canai. Seriously. He doesn't eat rice at all.

And for pizza, he only eats either those at Pizza Hut or that one prepared at Aeon Big. He doesn't even eat those at Domino Pizza.

Well, that's how it is with children with autism.

So, my friend has to bear with this. Hopefully the price will not go up further after the SST is implemented.

Another thing such as these which worries me is this story,

Higher consultation fees at private clinics soon


Well, everyone should buy health insurance, I guess.

That's even include the lower income people. Just in case.

Otherwise it would be difficult.

You know lah how it is to get treatment at the government clinics and hospitals these days.

Always crowded and very long queue.

Let's say your baby got fever, I think it would be quite a bit to go to a government hospital or clinic instead of going to a nearby private neighbourhood clinic.

Like it or not we will be paying the higher consultation fees soon.

I only wish for the government to do something to lessen the rakyat's burden on these sort of things.

The current PH government is supposed to be better than the BN government.

So, hopefully that is true...that things will not be so bad.....especially once the SST kicks in.

Well, SST is better than GST, right? That's what they told us ya.

Whatever it is, I think everyone should heed this advice;

Spend wisely once SST has been implemented – Fomca


Just in case la. Who knows, maybe SST is after all not better than GST.

You know lah, these days, people said something but it turns out into something else.

Okay, need to go now. My cousin just called and wanted me to pick her up now.

Ciao.

      Hee hee hee.

      Annie is sooooooo prihatin, kan?

      Really admire her integrity.

      She's very caring about the rakyat of Malaysia.

      And our financial well-being.

      Of course, when Umno was bending us over and fucking us all in the ass until we bled our hard-earned money to sponsor Umno's extravagant lifestyles, Annie was very, very quiet.

  3. Annie,

    I am on record as a supporter of the GST.

    I have ALWAYS said that the GST should be imposed on EVERYTHING.

    The monies collected on the GST should then be redistributed back to the poor and needy in the form of subsidies, rebates, discounts, etc etc. OR be invested in infrastructure development, education, health services, etc etc.

    I refused to support a GST managed by UMNO because you know and I know what happens to the money.

    I am more then happy if PH manages the GST or, now in this case, the SST.

    My ONLY wish is for the SST to be introduced on EVERYTHING WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

    And any monies collected MUST be redistributed back to the poor and needy and to improve social services, etc.

    Yes, there will be those that will exploit loopholes but over time, these will be reduced to a minimum if authorities are vigilant and do what they are paid to do.

    Put it this way - I know one fellow who tried to collect BR1M but he was caught out and fined, so I know it can be done.

    In the example of your friend with an autistic child, she could be given an entitlement to cheaper medical care or perhaps cheaper utilities or cheaper rent or a monthly sum of money or whatever.

    The money she thus saves could go towards the pizza or any needs she may have.

    So, I have no problems if the SST causes an increase in prices because I am quite certain that any monies collected will find it's way back to the rakyat.

    This is where the Opposition can be of value to the rakyat.

    It is for the Opposition to ensure that the monies collect do, in fact, go back to the rakyat.

    As it is, I hope UMNO gets its act together quickly and stop depending on Najib Razak to constantly be doing all the talking.

    I mean, UMNO does have a leader, you know, and his name is not Najib Razak.

    4. No Annie no one is ok with the rise of price of goods. The real problem started when umngokbn needs money to cover 1mdb billions and national coffers looted by them thats when started GST but unable to control the increase ot price. Its going to be a chain reaction now. I pray government will be able to do something to prevent Umnobn Perompak legacy.

  5. Annie,

    //So, you guys okay with prices of goods and services go up now.//

    Yup, I have no problems with it.

    //And you all sure the monies will go back to the rakyat//

    Yup, I am pretty certain that the money will go back to the rskyat.

    If it foesn't, I am counting on the Oppodition to tell me so and to point it out.

    //So, rakyat will have better life despite paying more for everything...eventually.//

    Yup, the poor and needy should have a better life.

    Those that afford to dine at Bangsar, wear fine clothes, drive fancy cars, can subsidise those who cant afford the same.

    //You all are indeed very optimistic people.//

    PH has shown it is capable of looking after the rakyat thru its two state governments in Selangor and Penang.

    So, yes, I am optimistic. :)

    1. Geez, I thought the whole point of getting rid of the GST and replacing it with SST is because we want to have lower prices for everything. Isn't that what PH said? Things like BN is Barang Naik and stuff. So now it's for us to pay more to have better life...eventually. Wished you all had said that instead during the election campaign. Hmmmm....okay, guess that's how it works with PH supporters like you.

    3. OMG! Annie you got it all wrong. BN imposed GST because they need money. PH abolished GST because it is a blanket tax where all the poor even OKU has to pay. PH is trying its best to take care of the B40 income group. The increased price of goods by the traders is another matter. They are opportunist. Measure has be taken to tackle this problem by PH government where BN failed. You see the different BN want to suck rakyat dry PH trying to protect the welfare of the rakyat.

    5. Hey, good suggestion about setting up the autism centre. I have this plan about buying a piece of land and setting up a farm where people with autism can live and work to sustain themselves. Maybe the government can do that once they got back the alleged stolen money.

    //I thought the whole point of getting rid of the GST...//

    Come on lah, UMNO/BN are not the only ones who can make political promises, ok? :)

    You and I know how much we can depend on political promises.

    //So now it's for us to pay more to have better life...//

    Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!

    It is NOT you and me who should be having a better life.

    People like you and I can take care of ourselves either because we have had good education or good jobs or the gods of fortune have smiled on us.

    It's that Orang Asli man I saw some years ago, wearing rags, riding his rusty bicycle, probably to check out his fish traps for his dinner who should have a better life.

    //Wished you all had said that instead during the election campaign//

    Saying it is one thing, my dear.

    Doing it is something else.

    I am quite happy to wait and see what social programs PH implements and how effective those programs are.

    My stance has always been to wait for 2 or 3 years before I decide how PH is performing.

    The sheer depth and breadth of the UMNO cancer will take at least that long to identify and measures put in place to counteract.

    Note that I said "to identify and measures put in place", and not "to fix".

    Fixing ALL the problems inherited from UMNO will take a few generations.

    Like it or not, and whether we are aware or it or not, you and I carry within us characteristics, mannerisms, feelings, thoughts, etc which have resulted from living under an UMNO regime.

    Some of us have even passed on hatred anger to the next generation.

      Cant you see the urban poor mainly Malays that lived in over crowded low cost housing scheme with lack of amenities.Are you that blind with your racial lens that you are wearing now that make you oblivious with your surrounding.

      "The sheer depth and breadth of the UMNO cancer will take at least that long to identify and measures put in place to counteract."

      Spinning again Bro, vomitting venomous spin to spur hate against UMNO and the Malays.I heard that spin before since 1969 such as non Malays were second class citizen in Malaysia, Malaysia is going bankcrupt, racial polarisation was worsening and racial riots can explode anytine, Malaysia election was not fair etc etc..I am already sick with this kind of innuendos, anything wrong with this country must be due to UMNO while the godly and sinless DAP were doing everything good for the country and bangsa.

  10. Getting rid of GST is not good in term of tax revenue collection but it was a great slogan during the election the fucking monkeys couldn't have understood something more complex.

    And you need the monkeys to win the election.

    All arguments aside, I have not heard any of the politicians talk about increasing productivity per unit of human or monkey capital. Nor increase competitiveness in the area of technology or science or IT.

    Otherwise how to ensure PH to go on and on without any opposition?

    Forget la about history, Today if you ask around where chicken comes from.. they will say from supermarket shelves and sane with chicken eggs also from supermarket.

  14. Prof Nasi Lemak,

    //If not for UMNO you and your family may still be farmers in remote villages China//

    Was it becos of UMNO or was it becos of the British?

    I think UMNO is taking credit for something it did not have a choice in.

    //Some may still be bucket collectors,//

    I fully understand that there are many non-Muslims who use the label of "night soil carrier" as an insult, or in your case, "bucket collector".

    To you, it is easy to see that you take malicious glee and delight if my ancestors did "sapu tahi tepi jalan".

    Did you know that in Islam, even such lowly work is considered rezeki halal?

    Of cos, I don't expect you to understand the concept of "rezeki halal" becos after all it is now AFTER 21-25 August :)

    You do know what the dates 21-25 Aug mean, don't you?

    "True Malaysians" do anyway :)

    Heheheheh!!

    //Belajar sikit sejarah keturunan then you will be humbled by your discoveries.//

    Hahahahaha!!

    Yes, your own keturunan means a lot to you, doesn't it?

    You are quite welcomed to syiok sendiri over your own keturunan but that's just not me, sorry. :)

    Frankly, keturunan means little to me.

    The past is just that - the past.

    The achievements of my father are his, and all the glory belong to him, not mine.

    It is what I do myself which matters to me.

    But I do completely understand if you want to live off the successes of others without doing anything yourself. :)

    Prof Nasi Lemak is not going to deny that he practises being a good Muslim only when it is convenient, eg from 21-25 Aug 2018.

    During those holy festivals, he will not insult my ancestors if they really did, in fact, "sapu tahi tepi jalan".

    Tak bolih criticise lain orang during holy festivals .

    He has to show everybody what a good Muslim he is, you see :)

    But, we can see what he is really thinking, hidden deep down in his heart, and that is, I am to be looked down upon becos he thinks my ancestors may have "sapu tahi tepi jalan" :)

    Cam tu lah - for ppl like Prof Nasi Lemak, Islam is merely a religion of convenience, nothing more.

    Never mind, I should not criticise Prof Nasi Lemak if that is his way of practising Islam. :)

    This is how Prof Nasi Lemak want others to see Islam in practice :)
