KUALA LUMPUR: Some MPs appear to be advocating for the wealthier T15 group instead of showing more compassion for the other 85% of Malaysians, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim .
“It’s reasonable to expect subsidies and assistance to be channelled to the people,” he told the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday .He also questioned the fairness of maintaining subsidies for the wealthiest groups. His remarks came in response to questions from Khoo Poay Tiong and Datuk Dr Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh on targeted subsidies and the 2% dividend tax on individual shareholders for income of over RM100,000.
“Why is there no stance to say ‘yes, it is appropriate to charge market rates to the super-rich and top earners’? “Many business owners, operating as individuals, already face significant expenses and tax obligations. “Are we not concerned about defending the interests of the lower-income group? It seems as though 85% of the population is not important to us.He reiterated that wealthier individuals should be taxed fairly.
