In Malaysia is also the same. I had a friend who migrated to Australia and she came back to renounce her Malaysian citizenship. I got her the necessary forms and she declared giving up her citizenship and passport. Got her EPF monies even though she is 45 yrs old.
Ive got a friend who renounced their spore citizen n got all their cpf money n stayed in Aussie for 2 years then came back to live in spore but as a E pass holder ,they changed mind about Aussie being a better place but regretted but spore dont entertain them anymore cause they complain that cannot get job as asians n worried for children would be affected also, grass is greeener on the other side so dont repeat the same mistake ,this is just a good example.

Electricity GST cap may rise
BY YUEN MEIKENG
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will consider raising the amount of electricity usage to be exempted from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) so that fewer consumers will be burdened.
The Finance Ministry’s GST adviser Datuk Kamariah Hussain said only consumers who used more than 200kWh of electricity a month would be taxed under the GST for their power usage.
Those who use 200kWh and below per month will not be charged the GST. A usage of 200kWh of electricity translates into a RM50 bill per month.
“However, we will study if we can raise the limit from 200kWh to 300kWh,” she said during a briefing on the implementation of the GST at Wisma MCA here yesterday.
The event was organised by the MCA Young Professionals Bureau and the Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research.
During the briefing, a participant as well as bureau chairman Datuk Chua Tee Yong proposed that the Government increase the amount that could be exempted from GST.
“We hope that the ministry will raise it to 300kWh so that 70% of domestic users – or four million consumers – will be exempted from the GST,” Chua said.
Kamariah said the GST, when implemented in April 2015, would have to be paid on top of the electricity tariff hike by TNB to be effective Jan 1 next year.
On another matter, she said the Government would provide RM150mil to subsidise the accounting software, to be installed by small and medium-sized enterprises, which would impose the GST.
Asked how long the GST would remain at 6%, she said the Government had yet to fix a time limit.
Royal Malaysian Customs Depart*ment internal tax division director
T. Subromaniam said 200,000 companies earning above RM500,000 yearly were expected to sign up for the GST.
Under the GST, businesses with an annual turnover of RM500,000 and above will have to charge consumers the 6% GST for their products and services.
During the event, a member of the audience also proposed that the 10% service charge imposed by fast food restaurant operators be abolished.
“I take my own plate to my table and I even have to walk to the counter to get chilli sauce. So what kind of service do we get?” he said.
However, Kamariah pointed out that the service charge was not part of the GST but imposed by the operators themselves.

Can see the power usage by average msian household here:

On 950W aircon for 8 hours daily is 228kwh per month...

A better estimate for a Malaysian household can be extrapolated from Singapore's data Table 3.4, assuming Singapore's household consumes about 20% higher than Malaysia's counterpart: http://www.ema.gov.sg/media/files/publications/EMA_SES_2012_Final.pdf
good to know the official position.

For CW3, the route starts from Perling Mall and end at Jurong East Interchange. Just want to check, do I need to buy the ticket online to guarantee a seat, or can I just board at CIQ 2nd link and pay cash? Has anybody tried it? Sorry if I sounded so country tortoise...

WARNING TO WOULD BE PURCHASER OF RESALE PROPERTY
Just to share, there was a case where a buyer bought a brand new resale unit whereby developer provided 8 airconditioning unit throughout, upon taking over, buyer got a shock, all the aircon units were missing. Buyer checked with developer and confirmed that aircon were installed, buyer then checked with vendor, vendor told him that the sale was bare unit and nothing was written down as inventory. Who's fault?
