10 Latchatil Naan Oruvan (I'm one in a million)

The deadline for Malaysian income-tax submission for year 2009 is  April 30 for regular employees (non-business).

For the past few weeks, hearing the song "Hassile Fissile" would remind me that I need to complete my e-filing by logging on to Hasil.gov.my. Maybe LHDN could consider using this song for an ad!

All complete, but as usual, I'll wait till the last minute to hit the send button! and pray I won't be called for a dreaded audit. Last year my record was 4.00am on 30/4/2009.

This article extracted from Malaysiakini somehow makes me proud to pay my taxes. (Of course the article is not an endearing one.)

Out of 28 million Malaysians, only 1 million pay taxes.

Out of this 1 million, 85% are non-bumis. And one of this one million is me!...10 latchatil naan oruvan...



At least this relieves some of the pain...the fact that my hard earned money is actually being used to build this nation (i hope so)
