Service Tax on Credit Cards? What About The Citizens!

    Our PM's statement that the government also needs revenue is understandable. But the manner in which it is spent is the issue.

    He mentions that the recent budget and reliefs offered benefits everyone and in return the service tax on credit cards is a form of revenue for the government.
    I do not benefit from any of the reliefs as I'm not in the taxable range. With my humble income, I do have credit cards and even had supplementary cards issued for my mother. Doesn't the government encourage citizens to care for their elderly parents? Wouldn't you consider providing my mom with the benefit of a supplementary card be considered 'caring'?
    Many people have highlighted their opinions regarding this service tax and it seems like the government doesn't even care. What ever happened to the saying of 'listening to the rakyat' or 'democracy'?
   There are many people who rely on credit cards for a living, whether it means using it for promoting it. Many people are indirectly affected by the implementation of this service tax as well.
    If our country really needs the money, then why are we busy helping other countries which are even out to harm our own citizen if we visit their country? The recent AG reports also highlight all the discrepancies and wastages of public funds. All this is the rakyat's hard earned money. Don't simply waste it and get more by charging this service tax!
