All morning, the talk in the mess was all about the new hike in the assessment fees around KL. Some of them were hit by 400% increase. They could afford it but what about the young middle class workers with young family. The increase would hit them hard.
They actually have a point. And added to that the upcoming GST and plan to scrap cars more than 12 years-old, everybody were miffed.
I was the youngest amongst them and could only listen. I was sure I would be feeling the heat of the increase on the months and years to come. Is there anything I could do about it?
For the meantime, I could only console myself with the football news and back page gossips. Distractions ....
