Join the new world

Hello again eMalaysia.

I introduced myself yesterday in this article

In it I said that I would put up jobs to allow Malaysians to work within their own country. I have done this, but how does it compare to some of our neighbours?









As you can see the wages I offer are slightly below that of Indonesia, however if you compare it to Singapore, they don’t have any job offers at all. This means new players signing up in Singapore would find they cannot get a job and are more likely to leave the game straight away. By ensuring job opportunities in Malaysia we are better suited to ensuring newer players stick around.

The global price of Weapon Raw Materials right now is 0.08 MYR each. This means that if you work in one of my Saltpeter mines you produce 210 which have a retail value of 16.8 MYR. For this reason I am offering you the highest wage possible without actually making a loss myself.

When we regain Peninsular Malaysia this can be raised to 19MYR without me making a loss on the wages.

What is the significance of working in Malaysia?

If we have 100 workers working in Malaysia at 16 currency a day they pay 1.6 MYR a day in income tax each. This is 160 MYR a day total income for the nation. Over 30 days this totals 4800 MYR tax income for the country which pays for half of an MPP. This means we will have more wars we can fight in without having to move, and we are better able to call on support in the event of an invasion.

Taxation:

At the moment Income tax is set at 10%, In Croatia it is 15% and in Indonesia it is set at 20%. When we factor in the income tax difference the real value of wages is higher in Malaysia than Indonesia but lower than in Croatia.

Croatia: 17 MYR
Malaysia: 14.4 MYR
Indonesia: 13.82 MYR

Whilst Croatia is higher than Malaysia Croatia is also responsible for wiping and occupying us, it seems to defy logic to work for the country that if it had its way would see that your country doesn't exist.

The logical choice for Malaysians is to work in a Malaysian company and pay their taxes to their own government.

VAT:

VAT is a very important tax and is often responsible for bringing in a lot of a government’s income. The trouble for Malaysia is that the VAT is set too low, and the market prices are too high. This means that there is lower demand for Malaysian products, and the few products that do sell will earn the country very little. Low VAT only works for big countries which have a high volume of products sold.

Import Tax:

High import tax means that essentially no products are being sold in the Malaysian markets by foreign competitors. This means that our prices are naturally higher than in other countries. For example:

Q7 weapons:

Malaysia: 23 MYR
Indonesia: 21 MYR
Croatia: 20 MYR

Low import taxes will lower prices on the Malaysian markets increasing demand. It also has the added advantage of raising additional income as those exporting to Malaysia must pay both the import and VAT taxes.

I’m not an expert economist, I’m sure that someone else could do more precise figures and come up with a more accurate recommendation, but I’d suggest an import tax of no higher than 10-15% and VAT of around 5% on food and weapons.

This is just my recommendation for a more efficient tax system, I know that the government is already thinking about how to get the most out of the tax system now that they have a congress again and are able to make alterations to it.

Sorry for the wall of text, I aim to be vocal in the media and will throw in a few competitions now and then so you can win prizes.
