So it's likely the govt has spent a bit on the implementation but chose to scrap it based on negative feedback from the rakyat. Shows that the present govt is closely assessing sentiments on the ground which is a good thing.  Problem with malaysia is that the mean household is very low something like rm3000+ only. If you look at the tax bracket for those sorts of income level it's in the range of tens of ringgit per household per month only. Not enough to develop the nation and pay the half a mil civil servants (this no is still growing fast).  So incoe has to come from somewhere. Increasing corporate tax too much will chase away FDI's.  Increase high income tax too much could possibly give rise to further brain drian. Earn first world salaries, get taxed first world tax scale live in   Developing world healthcare education and service env. Also not good.</blockquote>
