Malaysian 2007 Budget - IT Perspective

Posted by CJCM on 2nd September 2006

I didnt actually watch the budget presentation on the telivision. I read about it in Sun2Surf.

From the IT point of view, I must say the new incentive for computer ownership and the tax relief that comes with it are both good and bad news.

Good news because the period of incentive is now reduced from five years to three years, which is just about right for the fast-paced computer industry.

Bad news is that the tax incentive change from a tax rebate of RM500 to a tax relief of up to RM3,000 will only benefit those with a taxable income of RM53,000 and above.

Here is how it works out:

A person with a taxable income of RM23,000 buys a PC costing RM3,000. Under the old scheme, he would be paying RM185 income tax, after the RM500 rebate. However, under the new PC tax relief, he would end up paying RM475 of income tax. The tax would be higher if the PC cost is less than RM3,000.

For those who are interested in the article directory services, here is another good news. Article Friendly is the latest script that allows you to setup such directory in a breeze. The owner of Article Friendly script is not a new player in article directory business. He has been involved very actively with the overly famous Article Dashboard, another article directory script. His experience dealing with Article Dashboard has given him enough experience and gut to come up with his own article directory script. There are a lot of nice features with this script and should be easy to setup and configure.

My new web directory

Posted by CJCM on 1st September 2006

I have been busy with this project for the last few days since last week. Finally, it is up and running. Links Portfolio.com is running on phpLinkDirectory script. I decided to launch Links Portfolio.com as a paid web directory as there are already a lot of free directories for those seeking free listing. I also believe Links Portfolio.com as paid directory will attract better quality submissions as only those who are serious in promoting their websites will patronize paid links directory.

Since this is paid directory, I am not expecting a lot of new link submissions in the weeks to come, but I am prepared to give it as much time it needs to be accepted by the market out there. I hope to get lots of good quality sites registered in this web directory in the future.

Currently, payment can only be made via PayPal. Very soon it will be accepting credit card as well when I have upgraded my PayPal account.

This is the first time Links Portfolio.com ever promoted on the internet. I can foresee that I will be spending a lot more time in the next couple of weeks promoting this web directory over the internet.

If you notice, there are no Adsense ads on this site. I will be promoting only BidVertiser ads on this web directory. Later on I would like to compare the BidVertisers and Adsense to see which one is better performer to my bottom line. I hope both will do well :) .

I really appreciate if you have any comment to regarding my directory. I am open to any suggestion, except to make it free directory listing. :)

Cheers
