Coming home ...

By the time you read this posting, chances are I'll be on the way home, either stuck in an airport or dozing off on a plane.

I'll miss the sarcastic humour of Aussie people ... and hope to be able to get some R&R over the early part of next week ...

I didn't see anything worth shouting joyously about in the 2007 Malaysian Budget. No obvious tax breaks for people like you and me, no obvious areas where I see $$$ getting in my pocket. And that makes 2 years in a row. I don't get it ... with GST about to kick in soon, and modest fuel price increase expected next year, if you're not smart and managing your $$$ now, you'll probably see less money in your pocket next year.

But I'm still happy we're not taxing up to 47% of individual income, like Australia does. That's 47 cents taken from you for every dollar you earn when you're on a high tax bracket. And believe me, many people fall into that bracket.

I'm so happy I'll get to be driving again ... =)
