A compliment to Inland Revenues all over the world

Teresa Kok's 'A penny for your thoughts' asking her blogsite readers for questions they wish her to raise in Parliament is just a coincidence.

But, just by the way, why not ask our LHDN to be more people friendly by getting rid of those requirement to estimate businessmen's following year income (seems reasonable) but penalize them for getting it wrong (exceeding 10%)?

As an example, I know of cases of oil palm estate owners fretting over what figures to put in because the palm oil prices are volatile and the trees are subject to weather conditions and depending on the fertilizers they put in. In addition, the higher the price, the more likely the cases of theft of fresh fruit bunches. Managers are also likely to be viewed suspiciously because of substantial differences in output because of these reasons.


The last penny

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son.. He gives the young boy three pennies to play with to keep him occupied.

Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the coins and starts slapping him on the back.

The boy coughs up two of the pennies, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.

A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.


Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants.. She takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last penny, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the penny to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her, saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor? "

“No,” the woman replies. "I'm with the Inland Revenue."
