We are being royally screwed by our dear govt.
So last year they announced that in 2009, we have a choice to reduce employee’s EPF contribution from 11% to 8% so that the people can have more cash to spend.
Fine.
But on the other hand, they quietly went and increased individual income tax rates at the same […]

I’ve been wondering…
You know how people tell you things like, “Oh, we decided to migrate to XXX so that our children can have access to better education… even though life is tougher here, we don’t mind the sacrifice… etc. etc.”

I’m glad to see that the SPCA is making some real changes to the state of animal welfare in this country. Or at the least, within the Klang Valley.
Keep up the good work!

Did anyone watch the TV3 program on how stray dogs and cats are allegedly killed at the the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) animal pound in Setapak?
