Tax Relief for Middle-Income Earners?

I thought this press report that appeared in the Star yesterday is timely because it makes a lot of sense. Ram Holding Berhad group chief economist Dr Yeah Kin Leng had said, “Middle-income groups affected by the high cost of living in cities should be given tax relief to ease their burden (p N4). Hear, hear!

And WC matches were really disappointing for the teams that carry the favorites’ tags. Germany was stunned 0-1 by dogged Serbia. Thereafter, USA drew 2-2 with Slovenia. And finally, England drew 0-0 with Algeria after an unimpressive display in their second World Cup match, leaving Fabio Capello's side facing a challenge to reach the knockout stages.
