Happy New Year ! Happy Rise Taxes !

A new year came while I'm headache about my application for Uni. of Melb. Really a bad start for 2008... Putting that sad story aside... Well, basiclly there are 2 things everyone need to do in the very beginning of a year.
1. Plan the year.
2. Pay the year. I mean... the taxes.

I went accompany my mom to several government departments to pay up all sort of taxes today. After 4 days off, it's no doubt that these places is gonna fill will crowd of good citizens that planning to pay their bills.

Our 1st destination is to pay Housing tax. A long queqe in front of the counter to pay Housing tax. I'm kinda pissed off because there were actually 3 counters operating, but the other 2 counters that in charge of other business never bother to help make the queqe move faster even there were no people dealing with them.

Soon, there were discussion on the increased taxes because someone's Housing tax rised about 300% from RM7XX to RM2XXX. But it's found later that the rises depend on areas. Mostly increased around 60-90% and the one with 300% increased rate is the most critical one. Our house only increased around RM10 only. Afterall, it's still a shock news since the taxes never rised that much for years... Not sure about other states...


JPJ Office. Another place that rised my blood pressure. You believes that only 1 counter on duty in the early morning?
