Good News that is of interest to me :
1.Tax rebate of RM500 for computer purchases will be replaced with tax relief of RM3,000, once every three years. (
so can buy more computers now but on second thoughts so many computers for what le? At the moment our house have 2 pc and 3 laptops)
2.Students with 10A1s in SPM from families earning RM1,500 and below to be given scholarships for tertiary education. ( too bad no more children sitting for SPM and my salary is well above that too)
3. Tax relief on purchase of books increased from RM700 to RM1,000. ( That is good can start buying many many books to get that tax relief)
4.Exam fees for all public examinations abolished in all Government schools, beginning with 2007 school session. ( again no more kid sitting for all those examination )
5.Increase civil service fixed allowance for all supporting staffs by RM 30 to Rm 50 w.e.f.1st January 2007 ( that is good .. can have more cups of kopi-o kow a month)
