Budget 2012? Any thoughts?

Budget 2012? Any thoughts?

I have a few on my mind, things that might affect me, just thinking out loud:

Higher income
Lower tax
Maintain petrol and toll prices
100% subsidy on first homes

Better public transports, some quick fix would be good, ie more frequent and reliable mini buses, more dedicated bus lanes, parking buildings to cater for those who park and ride the LRTs. Rather than boasting multi billion ringgit MRT projects that can take years to solve.

What about some extra subsidy on the health care side?

What about imposing extra tax on fast food restaurants for selling unhealthy, greasy junk and use this tax to subidise those who want to promote health e.g. setting up sports centres, gyms, health food centres?

With this in place, those who can no longer afford the conventional fast food would resort to health food instead? Instead of having a stupid 'lepak' lifestyle, why not hang out with friends at the sports centres and do healthy activities that are subsidised?

There's so much that Malaysia can do about things. I just somehow doubt if someone is actually acting on it.

It's not that hard.

Ok, the real Budget is coming out in a matter of hours. Let's see what we get.....
