Fame in plain

A lot of people have asked me… “Zewt, how did you get so famous?” First and foremost, I don’t think I am famous per se. To me, I just happen to have a satisfactory level of readership. For that, I have to thank all of you.

Honestly, I am also curious as to how some bloggers command such incredible level of fame. The other day, I was browsing through a very famous blog of a particular country. In case you’re wondering, I am not referring to the local Mr. Sia nor Ms. Xia down south.

My findings were somewhat startling, to me at least. Certainly, there are some very interesting articles by this blogger about life in general but for most part, articles are about the general life of the blogger. It’s like a diary, but written only with information the blogger wishes to share with the reader.

An entry can be very long, detailing exactly what the blogger did in a particular day and it can also be as short as “hey, look what I did today…” – followed by a picture of a shattered glass, indicating that the blogger dropped a glass on the floor that day. Sounds interesting? Doesn’t appears so, isn’t it?

Nevertheless, that blog commands incredible level of traffic and is also capable of attracting lucrative adverts. How so?

Generally, I think there is an in-built need for us humans to make connection. Some may call it as being nosy but to me, it’s this thing called ‘human touch’. We all want to know what happen to others, as long as it is not overly dull. And when you have known a person to a certain level, you just want to know more.

So if you are cracking your head trying to put up thought stimulating entries which I tend to do sometimes (the cracking head part), perhaps we can just sit back and put into words what happen to us today. After all, lives are meant to be interesting. Else, we won’t be so afraid of death.

Try doing a “hey, look what I did today…” and follow that up with a picture of a used condom… I am sure people will be dying to know what it is exactly that you did…

Maybe I will do just that…

Why UK companies will not do business in Malaysia in the future

Let’s put it plain and simple…

UK corporate tax rate = 28%
Malaysia corporate tax rate = 25%
A UK-subsidiary in Malaysia will pay tax on its profits at 25%. Thereafter, when the profits are being repatriated to UK in the form of dividend, the UK holding company will have to pay an additional 3% of tax (28% - 25%) on the gross dividend.

Put simply, a $100 profit means $25 tax paid in Malaysia and $3 paid in UK. Hence, in totality, profit of a UK corporation should only suffer a maximum of 28% tax. Of course, the exact mechanism is slightly more complicated but this is the gist of it. That is how it works, or how it will work until end of June 2009.

The UK govt has just announced that dividends received by a UK company from its subsidiary around the world (i.e. foreign dividends) will be fully tax exempt effective 1 July 2009. Put simply, a UK company will not need to top up the 3% tax if it receives dividend from Malaysia.

What has that got to do with less investments coming into Malaysia? Doesn’t seems to bother us right?... WRONG!

Although a UK company no longer needs to top up the 3% of tax on dividend received from Malaysia, the profit will still suffer 25% Malaysian corporate tax. This is bad because the UK company can choose to set up its business in countries like Singapore (“SG”) and Hong Kong (“HK”).

The tax rate in SG and HK is 18% and 16.5% respectively. A UK company will need to top up 10% and 11.5% of tax previously in respect of dividend coming in from those countries. With the new rule, that is not the case anymore. In effect, the profit of a UK Group will suffer 25% if they do business in Malaysia but will only suffer 18% and 16.5% of tax if they do business in SG or HK. That is tax savings of 7% / 8.5% if they can somehow move their profits from Malaysia to SG / HK.

“Zewt, not all business can be done in SG / HK. Maybe some businesses have to be done in Malaysia?”

A very good question indeed if the above occurs to you. Well, with the wonders of globalisation, a lot of things can be done to facilitate profits being made solely in SG and/or HK. In fact, I can tell you that motion has already started by some big UK corporations to ensure that profits are booked in HK.

8.5% of tax savings (if profits are booked in HK) is A LOT of money. Top that up with the pleasure of having to deal with govt agencies in SG/HK vs. Malaysia; I would not bet against UK corporations moving their operations elsewhere.

Well, think about it. If you are a boss of a UK company, what would you do?

The Big 4

Some people have been asking me… “Zewt, what is this big-4 that accountants talk about?” Many non-accounting people are quite oblivious about this jargon while some perceived the big-4 as some accounting principles. I just think they are lazy to check Wikipedia or even google it.

Well, the answer is plain and simple. The big-4 refers to the 4 biggest audit / accounting firms currently still exist in the world. I said “currently still exist” because the big-4 used to be the big-8. After a succession of mergers, it became big-5. In fact, when I first entered the accounting world, it was already big-5.

Big-5 became big-4 when Arthur Andersen (“AA”) collapsed due to the Enron scandal. What happened was AA, being the auditor for this big company in the USA called Enron, failed to detect large amounts of debts and losses within the Enron group, thus causing the profit to be over reported. The question is of course, did AA fail to detect or... …?

When the secret got out, the shares plunged from US$90 to less than US$0.50 and Enron, together with AA; transformed from corporate giants to corporate history.

Some may ask, what exactly is the role of an auditor? Well, perhaps I can talk about it another day.

So, for those who wants to know who exactly is part of this big-4… they are…

PriceWaterhouse Coopers or famously known as PwC;
Klynveld Peat MarWick Goerdeler or famously known as KPMG;
Ernst & Young or famously known as EY; and
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu or famously known as Deloitte.

All of the above have presence in Malaysia and they have been ruthless slaves-masters to many accounting graduates for years. Their recruitment strategy is one that centres upon ensuring that they are always under-staff. That is why late nights are a norm.

It’s like a corporate symbiosis where accounting graduates joined them to obtain what is perceived as priceless experience while in return, the Big 4 squeeze the life out of them. I believe some are even reading this blog, right?

A first language dilemma

A friend of mine just went for the IELTS exam as she needed an English qualification for the Masters in an UK university that she is applying. For that particular course she applied, she needed an IELTS score of 7.5 (out of a max of 9) to get in. Do you think it’s tough?

She said it was tough. I did English 1119 during my time so I have no idea how tough IELTS is. Anyway, she managed a 7. To me, that is quite good. Unfortunately for her, that’s not good enough.

She now has 2 options --- she can either re-sit her IELTS or; opt for a telephone interview. Of course, there is the unwritten 3rd option of foregoing her Masters which is not what she wants. She prefers not to do the former as IELTS fees are paid in ₤₤₤. Hence, a re-sit is expensive, very expensive! So the telephone interview sounds like a good escape clause.

But!... there’s always a but…

The telephone interview is only available to those whose first language is English.

My friend is a Chinese, but just like many of us here, she doesn’t read or write Chinese. At home, she communicates with her family members in Cantonese. Certainly, she can declare that English is her first language and the IELTS people should not be able to verify it. I mean, how does one verify such things?

Notwithstanding the above, can she consider English as her first language?

For many of us banana Chinese, we don’t read or write Chinese. But at the same time, most of us are able to converse in a particular dialect. Then, most of us attended national schools where subjects were taught in BM. Not to mention, major exams such as SRP / PMR / SPM / STPM were all done in BM.

From such background, there are some who can then sit at a mamak store under a tree next to the drain drinking cheap coffee but… will converse only in English. And when they head home, the mother will shout…

“Sui chai, kam yeh hui pin to ah?” (Idiot, go where so late?)
“Yum char lah!” (Drink tea lah)

For those who fall within such category but at the same time, have close to perfect command of spoken and written English, perhaps they can safely say that English is indeed their first language.

But for those who can’t read or write Chinese and at the same time unable to construct simple grammatically correct English sentence… unable to remove the “lahs”, “mahs” and “ahs” from their colloquial English, and attended school in BM --- what is our first language? Manglish?

Quite a dilemma, isn’t it?

Why you are paying tax for meal allowance

It’s the tax-filing season for individuals and just like any other year; I get calls, e-mails, chat messages, etc. asking for free tax consultation. I am sure some of you know why such queries are directed to me. If not, you should be able to deduce the reason.

Anyway, of the many things they asked me; one thing stood out like sore thumb. Almost everyone asked me…

“Eh Zewt, meal allowance is disclosed in my EA Form? I tot the gomen already announced meal allowance not taxable already. No meh?”

Yes, it was proposed in the national budget last year that meal allowance will be exempt from tax in the hands of individual commencing year 2008 and the law has been gazetted. Yes, that is correct… BUT! There’s always a ‘but’, and this is a big ‘BUT’!

Following this new law on meal allowance exemption by the govt, the income tax dept (which also happened to be govt by the way) issued a new ruling regarding it. In that ruling, it states that…

“Meal allowance provided to an employee for purposes such as overtime or outstation/overseas trips and other similar purposes in exercising his employment… … … …… is chargeable to tax and does not fall within this exemption………”

Source: Second Addendum to Public Ruling No. 1/2006 [Point 3.2.3 (iii)]

Yes, meal allowance is not taxable BUT meal allowance for your overtime and travels are taxable. Please also note that meal allowance for “other similar purposes in exercising your employment” is also taxable. That is a big-ass wide coverage if you ask me.

So what kind of meal allowance is really not taxable? Errr… beats me…

This is what I call… give right pocket, take left pocket.

Ridiculous? Stupid? Brainless? Aiya… this is the land of the best nasi-lemak, best char-kuey-teow and best bak-kut-teh; don’t complain so much lah?

Why specialise

Before I begin, just want to say that the answer for my post last Friday “The fate of 4 slaves” is slave 1 & 3. The truth can be cruel. Why promote people whom willingly sell their soul for the company?

Whenever I talk to a doctor friend or meet a doctor on non-consultation occasion, I always ask them whether they are going to specialise. Some of them already are doing their Masters with cardiology topping the list. For some, they are still deciding on which “logy” to take. For the others, they have tried but couldn’t make it due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Generally, all doctors I’ve met told me they want to specialise… except for 1.

He is the brother of a friend of mine. When I asked my friend whether his brother will specialise, the answer was…

“No, he is not. He doesn’t want to be driven by money”.

He went to explain that his brother wants to help everyone as his brother is of the opinion that being a specialist will limit the scope of his patients. And of course, there is also the noble intention of not being money driven. What do you think of him?

There is no doubt that many perceived specialists as blood suckers. Most of you will know that I spent a lot of time in a few specialist clinics last year. Indeed, their charges are expensive. A 15 minutes conversation may cost you RM100 or more. But certainly, the level of service given to you is quite different.

There are quite a number of doctors who read AZAIG and I am sure they will agree with me when I say specialists will surely want to recuperate the money they spent for getting the qualification. But many will also agree that the line between recuperating money and “sucking blood” can be rather thin.

We are not here to judge, but I think it is important to examine what is the original reason for one to become a specialist.

“Oh man, when you go to SJMC… you see the specialists carpark, it’s filled with sports car and bimmer and all the cars you can dream of! I should have studied medicine!”

That was a comment made by a colleague of mine just last week. Now, if he was to be a doctor and then went on to become a specialist… surely, it is just money. But what about the rest?

If you are a doctor pursuing your masters, are you doing it so that you can really focus on helping specific patients?… or is the monetary reward sitting very significantly at the back of your head?

Jun, Xabi, doc… what say you?

The fate of 4 slaves

4 modern slaves:-

Slave 1
Works very hard and expects to be rewarded for the hard work put in. If reward is not due, it will show; one can see it on this slave’s face.

Slave 2
Works equally hard and tells everyone … “I am just glad that I can still keep my job in view of the current economic environment”.

Slave 3
Works equally hard and wanted to do something different. Was promised a change in job-scope but management failed to fulfil the promise. Pissed-off with management and started looking for jobs elsewhere and attending interviews. Told the boss that he has been attending interview.

Slave 4
Works equally hard and told the boss… “This is the dream job of my life”.

All the above candidates have the same paper qualification and of the same level of competence. They are of the same ranking within the company. Amongst them, the company promoted 2 candidates.

Guess who?

Magic machines?

Can you see them? There are plenty of such dreamers around; those who loudly proclaim “They will be voted out in the next GE”. I think they are still living in fantasy. The same was said prior to the previous GE, and I think the same will be spoken after the next GE… and the next GE… and the next…

Today’s news strengthen my case:-
Machines for voting purposes. Wow…Voting to be done by a click of a button! If magic can be done to numbers that involve billions of dollars in financial statements, I wonder what kind of magic can be done in these machines. We are talking about the super magical election commission.

Maundy Thursday

It was my first time celebrating Maundy Thursday. I have never heard of it, and it was also a maiden celebration for my church. I was told that Maundy Thursday is the celebration of The Last Supper; bearing in mind tomorrow is Good Friday.

We had a proper meal though, with rice, potatoes, salad and roast lamb. Of course, it was not exactly a dinner fellowship. The meal went through a full liturgy with reading of the The Word. And yes, I enjoyed the meal very much. I didn’t bring my camera and that was the best shot I got with my phone. The lamb was yummy!

But you know what is the best part?

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples before he went on to be arrested and crucified, and we had the “feet washing” ceremony too. To symbolise a master washing the feet of a servant, we had…

An employer (a boss) washing the feet of an employee…
A person who has a library at home washing the feet of a student…
A husband washing the feet of his wife…
A professional working in KLCC washing the feet of a refugee social worker…
The pastor washing the feet of church council…
And a few more…

We then had holy communion (with real wine) and ended with a blessing toast.

Jesus – we partake the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of Your body broken for us and Your blood shed for us. We remember your death on the cross tomorrow, and will celebrate your resurrection this Sunday.

Consider this

“They are very laid back”…

That is how many Malaysians describe the Caucasians; particularly the Europeans and Australians. Most of the time, we are referring to their working attitude. To be more specific, the notion is about how they tend to leave work early and will not stay back to complete their task. Because of this, we brand them as “laid back”.

Indeed, many Malaysians take pride in working excessive overtime. They will proudly claim that they are hard-working, dedicated, passionate and so on. Further, they have the I-am-ambitious mentality. Also something to be proud as apparently, not being ambitious means your life is somewhat directionless. I refer to these people as “they” as I certainly do not consider myself within this group of people.

Beneath all these proud claims are of course, sacrifices such as working till10pm or 11pm; bring work home and having to work during weekends amongst many other things. Hence, with all the hard-work, dedication and passion, it seems they have the right to brand the Caucasians as “laid back” or worse… “lazy!”.

To me, being hard-working or dedicated or passionate is just a big load of shite. Branding others as “laid back” and/or “lazy” is nothing more than a self-consoling act to preserve that remnant of self-worth.

Why? Well, consider this…

If the salary of your current job is sufficient enough for you to pay for a BMW 3-series, pay the mortgage of a RM500,000 house, allows you to fine-dine everyday, allows you to employ a maid, allows you to go 2 overseas holidays in a year, allows you to shop every weekend with cash and still have enough money to put into your savings account (so that you can upgrade to a 5-series and a RM1m house in the future)… and…

Your boss honestly and truthfully does not require you to work overtime where you actually get a well-deserved increment and bonus at the end of the year by just working in your official working hours……

Do you think you will still be as hard-working, dedicated and passionate to stay back till wee hours of the day and bring back work and work throughout the weekend?

Most disheartening...

Following my entry yesterday, a dose of co-incidence led to a video posted in facebook. It was a video about a robbery which happened in Cheras (I think) and it was captured over the victim’s CCTV. I have actually seen that clip, and I believe many of you would have seen it too.

As I browsed through the comments, I encountered upon a very sickening story. After reading it, I actually left a comment asking if the story is true…

(Click to enlarge)

We received many such stories in our mail box and it was only natural for me to ask if it’s true. The reply from the person who made the comment was:-
















Like what Helen commented in my previous post, it is the “over-whelming sense of helplessness” in such tragic scenario that is most disheartening.

But then again, I am sure many still see this country as the best place in the world and ignore the rest as we have the best nasi lemak, best char kuey teow and best bak kut teh.

No, it's not corruption

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe our country has a legislation which governs open burning. Of course, there are times when this particular law is diplomatically relaxed, such as when burnings are done due to religious reasons. If otherwise, I believe the culprit of opening burning will be slapped with a hefty fine.

I don’t know about you but I witness open burning openly done on a daily basis. On my way to and back from work or when I drive out on a weekend, I am bound to see more than one occasion where open burnings are recklessly done. It’s obvious that these culprits are oblivious about the environment, and the law. How so?

Some of you will most probably be shouting… “Corruption!”

Sorry mate, I have to disagree with you. Looking at those places I drive past and the people who openly burn whatever stuff they were burning, I doubt they are capable of corrupting anything. It may sound like I am looking down on them but honestly; I don’t think they have money sponsor anyone tea or coffee.

It is not corruption. It is no longer you-pay-then-your-ass-will-be safe. It is I-just-don’t-give-a-damn. We are now at a stage where enforcement of law is blatantly ignored. I am not just referring to open burning. How many of you have heard of break-in or snatch-theft cases that are actually solved?

Fearfully put, the possibility of me getting arrested for writing this entry is more than those criminals getting busted, agree?

When the authorities are selective in their job-scope or worse, when they are not exactly protecting the innocent, I have much fear. We just don’t feel safe. Not only that, there are occasions where people actually feel unsafe when the authorities show up! I am sure you know what I mean. How I futilely hope they will change for the better.

Of the many reasons why drive me from thinking-of-migrating to might-migrate to most-probably-migrate to will-migrate to the current stage of must-migrate, this has to be top of the list. It is just so sad.

Losing the migration blues

Don’t get me wrong. Although I am have been blogging quite a lot about migrating to another country, I didn’t view it favourably slightly more than a year ago. Just like many of us, I like this country very much. We may curse this country on a daily basis but deep within, many of us still recognise the fact that this is indeed, home.

Getting the Aussie PR was more like an option to me, an option to move if “things get out of hand”. And since I had the opportunity to get it, why not?

I used to maintain the stance that our country will change for the better. A year ago, I think we were given the impression that it will, sort of. At that time, I was quite adamant that I wouldn’t need my migration ticket.

Things have changed quite a bit since then. Hope, the very element that keeps many of us going, has diminished tremendously in me. What used to be hope, has now been replaced with a great sense of worry. What will become of this place we call home?

I happen to work in an industry where I am able to see a lot of things, access to a great deal of information. When I put all these data together with the things we see happening and top that up with things we know are happening beneath the surface, I can't help but deduce that future is something my family and I do not have in this country.

As things get worse, I can only draw comfort that when the time comes for me to leave, the heaviness of my heart will get less and less and less and…

Will you call?

A friend of mine went to the supermarket to buy baking stuff. A guy approached her and struck a conversation with her about baking and what are the best ingredients to use. It was a rather brief conversation. Thereafter, she went and paid for her stuff and left to go home.

Upon reaching her home, she found a peculiar scribbling on the packaging of the baking powder that she bought. Legibly written is a name of a guy, together with a telephone number. No points for guessing who the guy is.

My first reaction upon hearing the story was… “Gee, do guys actually expect girls to give you a call?”

Of course, my friend didn’t call him; she is married anyway. But what about all you girls out there? Assuming that he is a decent looking guy and appears “normal”, ill you actually drop him a call or a sms?

As for the guys; if you do get a girl leaving you her number; I guess there is one right thing to do right? But then again, beware of freaks!

Remember, he is a m…naire…

Please note that this is a true story. It may sound bizarre, but it is.

There is this guy, he is a millionaire. This is not an April fool joke, he is a real millionaire. He actually inspected a property on Friday and a decision to purchase it was made by Monday. S&P was signed the following week. Not possible? Let me tell you that it is, because he paid with cash. I shall not go into further details but trust me, he is a millionaire.

However, you will find his lifestyle rather… let me just illustrate it to you as I am unable to find word to describe it…

You would expect this millionaire to be driving a luxury car, right? The answer is no. Technically speaking, he is driving a Japanese car. But, I am very sure you and I would rather drive a Kancil than driving his “Japanese car”. He is driving a Datsun that looks like the picture. I am not sure what the model is. But then again, I wonder whether you have even heard of Datsun. But remember, he is a millionaire.

But then of course, he doesn’t drive to work. Petrol is expensive. So he drives to the nearest LRT station and park his car there. But it’s not a proper parking lot, parking is expensive. The car will be parked at the side of the road; ya’ know, that patch of mud beneath the LRT track? There he shall park his car. Guess he doesn’t have to worry about car theft or damage with his Datsun. But remember, he is a millionaire.

Next on the line: mobile-phone. I understand he used to carry a Nokia 3210. Yes, I bet many of you don’t even know how it looks like. It was actually my very first model. He has since upgraded, I believe it’s a second-hand phone. He changed not because he wanted a new phone, it was because the battery for the 3210 is no longer in production. Again, I don’t know what the “new” model is. All I can say is that is has the old colour-less monochrome screen. Guess maxis can forget about him joining the iPhone craze. But remember, he is a millionaire.

And so he has a phone, and yet, he doesn’t have a phone. More accurately, he somewhat intentionally restricts the mobility of his mobile-phone. Yes, he doesn’t carry his handphone around. But then again, just like anyone of us, he needs to make calls. How does he do it? He borrows someone else’s phone. But remember, he is a millionaire.

There was a time, he was sent overseas for an assignment. This person (remember, he is a millionaire) wanted to call his father. You know that he did? He used the phone in the office he was based in… called the Malaysian office (because he couldn’t call his father directly from where he was)… asked his colleague to call his father using another office phone. So this colleague was carrying 2 phones with the millionaire on one line and the father on the other going…

Millionaire (M) to colleague (C) : Can you tell my father to do this this this?
C to M’s father (F) : M asked you to do this this this.
F to C : Ok, I will do this this this.
C to M : Your father said he will do this this this.
M to C : Can you also tell him… … …
C to F : … …
But remember, he is a millionaire.

By now, I am sure most if not all of you would expect his house to be Astro-less. And of course, you are right! But ya’ know, even if you are willing to sponsor this person (millionaire you know!) his Astro installation and monthly subscription, he will not be able to enjoy it. This is because his current model of his tv is one which do not have a video input or function. It is one where you need to walk to the tv and press on the buttons on the tv to change channel. To those of you who are born in the 80s, yes, such “thing” does exist. But hey, at least it is a colour tv… yay!! People are beginning to feel weird why it is not black and white.

There are also many other interesting things, such as he is aware of which hotel offering their cakes at 50% at which time on which day during the week. He also appears to be wearing the same shirt almost everyday. To go through all of them would result in a novel, a non-fiction one. I guess we only need to remember one thing… that he is a millionaire.

P/S: Sorry, he is already married.
P/S/S: Yes, inviting him for wedding dinner will probably break the Guinness World Record in terms of “biggest” ang-pow of the year.
