With the imminent announcement by Badawi on the 29th August, TheSTAR has come out with an online poll for us to vote for our wish list, that could have some affect on the budget. COULD.
THE STAR ONLINE POLL – BUDGET 2009
Rank in order of importance, 1 being the most, and 9 the least. And please, rank the Increase sin taxes on cigarettes, and expensive LIQUOR and wines as 9. We need to keep the booze price under control!
My main vote went to increase the tax relief for taxpayers, spouses and children, followed by the introduction cost of Living Allowance (COLA) for private sector workers too.
Go on, have a say, make your vote count!

Nice one folks, hopefully it gives the government a clue of what we want and not what they THINK we want. Cowdungs.
