“The allowance rate has not been
reviewed in the past 11 years and it is the time to do so, given that in
these day and time, people in this group may have to allocate up to
even 70% of their salary to pay for their house rental.” Lastly, Lok said that the government
must also review the service scheme allocation in light of the upcoming
implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on April 1, 2015. Have something to add to this story? Let us know with a comment below.

Betul lah tu kata CUEPACS, tidak lama lagi, penjawat awam akan tinggal di rumah setinggan atau sewa rumah murah, kerana tidak mampu beli rumah. Umpama orang yang hidup miskin di negara sendiri. Menteri dan YB mana mau turun padang dan tolong penjawat awam yg bergaji rendah atau rakyat miskin?
Masalah utama bila PM bermula dari Dr Mahahtir membenarkan rakyat asing membeli rumah.
Pak Lah lebih teruk dengan menarik semua sekatan keatas pemilikan rumah oleh warga asing,
Akibatnya harga rumah melambung akibat spekulasi dan aliran wang dari Hong Kong dan Singapura, kini Cina Komunis pulak yang membeli ribuan rumah di Penang Lembah kelang sehingga ke Teluk Intan.
Jangan kira lagi Nusajaya yang 90% dimiliki oleh orang Singapura,
SIAPA YANG UNTUNG?
Kita perlu lihat dari aspek ini untuk faham apa yang telah berlaku dan kenapa ianya perlu tindakan segera
1. Pemaju
2. Kontraktor pembinaan (dapat projek ratusan juta)
3. Pakar Perundingan
4. ejen hanrtanah (hasil komisyen dari pembeli dan penjual)
5. Peguam (yuran guaman di semua sektor bermula dari pemaju hingalah kepada pembeli dan bank)
6. Buruh asing (bawa penyakit dan masalah sosial serta aliran wang keluar)
7. Kerajaan Malaysia (cukai setem)
8. pejabat tanah (cukai pembangunan & segala macam cukai lagi)
9. PBT (cukai pintu)
SIAPA PULA YANG RUGI
1. Pembeli (kerana tiada pilihan dan harga sentiasa naik setiap bulan dan bukan lagi tahun kerana spekulasi hartanah)
2. Anak bini (kerana duit yang boleh simpan untuk pendidikan dan kehidupan lebih aman telah dirampas oleh pihak di atas)
3. Orang kampung (kerana walaupun mereka bukan pembeli tetapi himpitan nilai tinggi ke atas tanah di kampong menyebabkan mereka meninggalkan industry pertanian dan mahukan pembandaran di tanah mereka)
4. Pembayar cukai (kerana menanggung kos pendatang asing yang bekerja di sektor pembinaan dengan membawa bersama malaria, kusta, TB, kesesakan kenderaan awam dan melarikan anak dara orang)
5. Generasi mendatang yang akan lahir 20 tahun mendatang (mereka kena tanggung semua beban kemusnahan alam di Malaysia oleh aktiviti pembandaran sedangkan mereka tidak pernah memilih untuk dipaksa membayar cukai atas semua kemusnahan ini yang tak boleh dibaiki kembali)
