What is GST ?
Wednesday, 17 September 2014 | 08:24 | 0 Alien[s]
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a tax where whatever goods and services used by consumers contain elements of tax. That is why it is also known as the consumption tax . In other words, essentially far wider than the Sales Tax and Service Tax .
GST is a consumption tax and it is based on the concept of added value. GST collected from customers on behalf of the government by business organizations that are registered with the tax authorities.
Before panicking, we must first understand what is GST.GST is known as value added tax (VAT) in many countries is a multi-stage consumption tax on goods and services. Tax will be levied on the supply of goods and services at each stage of the supply chain from the supplier up to the retail stage of the distribution.
Malaysian Government is taking cautious steps in imposing GST so that consumers will not be burdened by higher costs. Therefore Malaysians won’t be paying GST for certain essential goods like unprocessed meat, cooking oil, sugar and essential services like public transportation electricity, education, healthcare, toll, financial transactions and live insurance .
Why GST?
The main reason we need to pay taxes is to enable the government to finance socio-economic development; which includes providing infrastructure, education, welfare, healthcare, national security etc. 90% of the world’s populations are exposed to GST, including China, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and India.
GST is part of the Government’s tax reform programmed to enhance the effectiveness of the existing taxation system. Its serves as a more effective, transparent and business friendly system if implemented correctly. This could spur economic growth as well as increase competitiveness in the global market.
GST prevents double taxation as Streamlined sales tax (SST) could lead to double taxation that can prove to be a demerit to consumers.
Various benefits that GST can offer to consumers and businesses:
• Improved Standard of Living
• Lower Cost of Doing Business
• Nation-Building
• Fairness and Equality
• Enhanced Delivery System
• Increase Global Competitiveness
• Enhanced Compliance
• Reduces Red Tape
• Fair Pricing to Consumers
• Greater Transparency
Comparative with the present sales tax, consumers would benefit under GST as they will know exactly whether the goods they consume are subject to tax and the amount they pay for.
To further encourage international business, exports of goods and services are not subject to GST (subject to tax at zero-rate).The government is very clear about this to ensure that exports are more competitive in the international market.
GST will be imposed at every level of the supply chain; the tax element does not become part of the cost of the product because GST paid on the business inputs is claimable. Therefore, it does not matter how many stages where a particular good and service goes through the supply chain because the input tax incurred at the previous stage is always deducted by the businesses at the next step in the supply chain.
If I ruled the world
Wednesday, 10 September 2014 | 01:31 | 0 Alien[s]
“If I ruled
the world…”; am I the only one that’s ever wondered what it’d be like?
First, I
would order the execution of 90% of the prison populations on Earth. I would
then make repeat offenders, violent criminals, and gang/mob criminals subject
to immediate death should they commit crimes under my rule. I would not
tolerate any crime and I would not force my subjects to pay for the
incarceration of criminals who have made it very clear by their actions that
they have no respect for the rule of law, safety of others, or rights of the
people.
Second thing which I would do if I ruled the world,
would is stop child labour and human trading. A lot of kids in third world
countries are forced to work in poor conditions without brakes and food. In my
opinion all kids have got right of happy childhood.
The next
thing I would also do is invest to the science. I think this is the way to
solve many problem in Africa, Asia and South America too. Water filters can
ensure clean water in areas where normally is polluted.Basic vaccination and
medication could save many lives.. Every year famine kills more people than war
conflicts and natural disasters together.
Ruling the
world has a lot of responsibilities, It would also be very hard to please everyone and make sure
everyone is happy all the time. As you can see ruling the world would be fun to
have all of that power, but it would be lots of responsibility. And as
Spiderman’s grandpa once said “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
I cannot live without

I cannot live without ...
Facebook, the name is pretty great
in this modern era. In fact, children who already know how to read already
started playing Facebook. Now, many generations of veterans began to learn
about IT, but due to the Facebook wave, the situation began to change. It seems
to be a must to belong to everyone. Is wrong for us to play Facebook?
We may have heard before this there are people who think Facebook
illegal. But when examined by the responsible parties, it is considered to be
as long as not used for things that violate Islamic law. Some ethics while
playing Facebook should be noted that no negative impact on the psyche and
behavior ourselves.
It's nice to be able to meet again with old friends who lost
contact. Excited to see the progress your friends about career, family, current
activities, and so on. The pictures can also be uploaded for view. Indeed, it
is a way to establish the brotherhood of lost for so long.
However, the thing to remember here is that when the
pictures displayed might be inviting defamation when vi
ewed by those who are
not supposed to. In the eyes of our action is only normal but not in others.
THEREFORE ... make sure that the uploaded photo is not categorized as an
extreme action. For women especially wear decent clothes, decent. Stay away
from illegal actions because they become public gossip material.
In addition, tagging old photos can be shared to friends can
also invite sin. Maybe some of the individuals in the picture has to cover up.
So be careful with our actions. If possible, remove the picture so that people
outside can not se
e it.
Similarly, do not make Facebook a platform for gossip and
revealing the shame of others. There is no doubt that women love to express
their feelings and share them with others. Sometimes they do not mention
specific names but others may know who he meant. Although the couple had
marital problems, we can not make interpretations based on what is being said
... the secret marriage can not be revealed to everyone.
In conclusion, Facebook can be a source of reward and can
also be a collector of sin. Intent closer brotherhood not abused because it
could bring harm to the community and marriage. In fact, they keep us from God.
It should be noted that the brotherhood is limited to something that leads to
God, inviting towards good and Stay away evil.
Actually, what is written is also a reminder to myself
because I did not miss the following wave. Let us fix ourselves so that the
pleasure of God accompanies us along this journey of life ...
“Malaysia Where Love Grows”
| 09:10 | 0 Alien[s]
Malaysia is a very unique and special country. It is located in South East Asia. The citizens are from different races and religions. So, Malaysia is called a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious country. There are three main races in this developed country such as the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians. Most of them live in Peninsular Malaysia and are government servants. Although they practice different religions, they work together and live peacefully.
“Malaysia Where Love Grows” is the theme for the country’s 57th Independence or Merdeka Day celebration. Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the theme was picked from the song “Warisan“, made popular by the late entertainer Sudirman Haji Arshad.“I believe this theme will have a deep impact and fill the hearts of all Malaysians with love for their country,” he told reporters at the pre-launch of this year’s Merdeka celebration.He also hoped that the theme chosen would not be politicised by any quarters.
This year’s celebration will begin with the “Doa Untuk Malaysia” (Prayer for Malaysia) at Putra Mosque, here, on Aug 15 followed by the ‘Fly the Jalur Gemilang’ campaign, which is scheduled to be launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on Aug 16.
The highlight of the celebration will be the Merdeka Day procession and parade at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur on Aug 31 while the national-level Malaysia Day celebration will be held in Sarawak on Sept 16.
The National Day parade in the morning is going to be carried out too along Dataran Merdeka stretch. The only official Independence Day’s event maintained this year. I have heard many helicopters flying the past few days which indicates that they were practising for rehearsal for the parade.
Many Malaysians are happy of this Independence Day celebration every year just because that it gives us another public holiday. Yes…and this year, it falls on Sunday. So, the next Monday would be the replacement holiday. Wonderful. A longer weekend to enjoy, which is also the weekend that saw the end of August and the arrival of September.
Last but not least, I would like to wish all Malaysians a Happy 57th Independence Day to our beloved country, Malaysia!
Hari Raya Celebration
Friday, 5 September 2014 | 08:17 | 0 Alien[s]
Assalammualaikum and hello people :)
Today i would like to share how Malaysians celebrating Hari Raya . Oh yes , Selamat Hari Raya to all muslim people . First i want to tell you what is Hari Raya . Okay for your information , Hari Raya is the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast , is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims. Hari Raya literally means ‘celebration day’, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the day that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of dawn-to-sunset fasting.
Hari Raya is one of the biggest holidays in Malaysia, and many Muslims (and even non-Muslims) return to their family home (balik kampung) driving or flying home for a couple of days before the day to be with their families and loved ones. There are often jams during this travelling time but these soon resolve as other travellers reach their destinations.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri sees families and friends seeking forgiveness from each other, visiting ancestors’ graves, saying prayers at the mosque and visiting relatives and friends to feast traditional Malay delicacies like ketupat, rendang, satay, lemang , dodol and curry. In Malaysia, children are given token sums of money from their parents or elders.Then , in the evening on Hari Raya children and teenager are enlivened with the fireworks . Among the popular firecrackers are ‘papan’, ‘bola’, ‘eggs’, ‘rockets’ and ‘ketupat’ with the ‘mercun bola’.
In Malaysia, the first two days are regarded as public holidays but most will take a week off for this celebration. Those working in the cities will return to their hometowns (balik kampung) and reunite with their parents, relatives and old friends in the celebration of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, leaving the cities quiet and empty during the festive season (usually there are very good airline deals in the weeks/months before the Balik Kampung period). Although the cities start to be populated again at the end of the week, the celebration doesn’t end there as one month of Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations follow a month of fasting. People continue visiting each other’s homes and throwing open houses until the festivities approaches its end 30 days later. It isn’t often that festivities last for a month long, so take the opportunity to catch up with friends and family while indulging in the various delicacies!
So , that is how Malaysians celebrate Hari Raya Festival . Not only celebrate the victory after fasting for a month, but to bond among family, friends and other people.

7. Heliophobia - Fear of sunlight
It sounds like the plot of a vampire novel -- an otherwise healthy, well-adjusted person begins to live a life shrouded in darkness. She works nights and sleeps all day behind blackout curtains. If she must leave the house during the day, she slathers on a thick layer of sunscreen and hides behind dark glasses. Yet for those with heliophobia, or fear of sunlight, this may be reality.
8. Bathophobia - Fear of depth

Some people do not like to be touched. At its most extreme, this aversion to human contact can turn into a phobia. The Latin name for the fear of being touched is Chiraptophobia.This fear can leave its sufferers feeling alone and isolated. Normal human intimacy is a big part of romantic relationships. Even friends and family will expect hugs, pats on the back, and other displays of affection.
10. Clinophobia - Fear of sleep
An abnormal and persistent fear of going to bed. Sufferers from clinophobia experience anxiety even though they realize that going to bed normally should not threaten their well-being. However, because they worry about having nightmares or wetting the bed, they often remain awake and develop insomnia. Insomnia then can become a real threat to their well-being.
