According to the Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop (in an interview published in NST online), "...of the 11 million people working, 10 million don’t pay tax."
Wow, if you take into account the whole Malaysian population of 27million, only 3.7% of Malaysians contribute directly to the government coffers.
So the next time you hear the term 'taxpayer's money'... it refers significantly to the $$ contributed by the privileged 1million Malaysians.
I wonder if this could be the reason why money not well spent hardly raises an eye-brow. For every taxpayer that complains, there will be 26 who might not care.
So, if you are in the elite team-of-1-million, congratulations!!
But if you are expecting more perks, join the club... I'm also waiting in line.
