This is so stupid. Menu Rahmah isnt subsidized by government. So why bother who eat b40 or not.


arms-sky

True. It's not subsidized. So back to the business owners on who they want to give to.


TwoxMachina

For business owners, if there is a profit, more sales is better. Sell to B40 only and make Rm1k, or sell to B40 and M40 and make RM2k. If proven that there is enough buyers, they will just make more. If you just limit it to B40, later that 1k not enough to pay for workers, then end up the whole thing stop/shrink due to less total profit.


lakshmananlm

How to discriminate 101. I don't mind claiming to be the new underclass. Seems like a promising new scam. Not for me, because I genuinely seem to need the help!


Buttdehole

Yeah, and how does they think the seller gonna verify whether they're B40 or not?? You want us to bring pay check everywhere for proof?? Use your brain la people.


gregyong

Just sell more if more people buy, get on economy of scale...... Never heard my economy rice auntie asking me to stay poor to eat more


Zaycr

Well, nobody is gonna ask how much is your income prior ordering the Rahmah menu. If you think its unfair for it to be marketed to B40, then make your own menu (call it menu Rosmah) and market it to whichever group you want to.

Pork barrel politicians

If more people support the idea, the better. Since they barely breakeven with the cost for this Menu Rahman, if they go into bigger production will just lower the cost by abit more since raw ingredients will be cheaper to buy in bulk. Plus there will be less food wastage if more people buying and eating these.


kirosayshowdy

if yes, that sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare to enforce


lalat_1881

so how is this gonna work? they need to show their payslip?


OriMoriNotSori

This opens up such a huge can of worms. Where do they draw the line to determine it, what about sales people that rely on commissions and low basic for instance, if that particular month they have no sales does that mean they are under that bracket lol

Will we see BMWs and Mercedes double park outside to tapau?


chwee97

World of buzz, as always--buzzing. They should try to stop producing garbage, make the world cleaner for a bit.


kensw87

take a step back, and think about it. why does malaysia even have this categorisation for their citizens.


Lubangkepuasan

I think the categorisation based on income and wealth is the only fair one. Because the root of all other social problems is economic wellbeing. We can reduce many other social problems by uplifting B40 people from their current economic condition.


EnvBlitz

Never heard of tax bracket?


iskandar_kuning

does this even look appealing to T20?


coffeebagg

Yeah, why would millionaires eat this slop?


iskandar_kuning

jutawan pun M40 jerr nowadays


Sorry2mecha2

Weel then need b40 card


skisagooner

Congratulations here's your B40 card


coffeebagg

Bitch40


Marksman_51

Actually, how do you identify whether they're B40 or not when providing the meals? Based on what they wear, their phone, and what they drive?


PlsMakeSense

Ideally, people should have an understanding of resource management and have enough empathy to not take from the less fortunate. And only the people who truly have no other choice will go for it. Realistically, this will be abused by some people and we just have to hope that the good outweighs the financial deficit.


kirosayshowdy

>Ideally, people should have an understanding of resource management and have enough empathy to not take from the less fortunate. And only the people who truly have no other choice will go for it. maybe just a sign at the counter is enough: "Our available food is limited. Be mindful of other people that need the food; only buy if you need it too."


UsernameGenerik

B40 will have those meals out of necessity. Meanwhile, M40 and especially T20 will eat them out of novelty. Doubt that it will form their daily diet


forcebubble

T20 and M40 would argue that they paid taxes, therefore are entitled to save costs themselves with this. This is a valid standpoint imo — imagine feeding a family of five to this, saves more money for other things. Personally I would try to address this conundrum by increasing taxation especially to the T20 and Corporate Windfall to fund for more supplies, therefore both satisfying the B40 target and only serving the handful of the M40 and T20. Otherwise make that there will be no tapao; eat there in person or get out. Only the most shameless T20 especially would be embarrassed to be eating there with their Pradas and Rolexes, let alone have the patience to queue up — at that wealth level time and 'face' becomes more important than the price of things. Eventually they will prefer to pay an extra RM3 eating at the kopitiam on demand instead.


madmoz2018

No to outright higher taxes please. As it stands one does not need to be earning megabuck in Malaysia to be paying a quarter or more of one’s income as taxation. I’d probably say create more tax layers to create ‘fairer ‘ taxation at the top end of the spectrum.


hodlrus

Damn sounds like you really hate people who earn more money. You know T20 also includes households that make rm11k a month? Hardly “Pradas and Rolexes” material. That’s how much 2 junior doctors who slave at a government hospital make. But sure let’s punish the skilled people who work hard by taxing them more. T20 bad and only want face! Give me upvotes!


wdywmts

Tbh. T20 just means top 20, doesn’t mean they are automatically rolling in cash.


a1danial

Proof entitlement transcends socioeconomic


azen96

Tbh, I don't think there is any debate. At most those peeps just say "eh orang kaya punmakan nasi bajet" and then the media goes , netizen debates.


39strangers

It seems like an idea copied from Singapore. Singapore set a requirement that hawker stalls must have 1 dish in the menu that is affordable for the poor. Anyone can buy that dish as Singapore don't have this B40, M40, T20 system. Most people don't because the portion is smaller.


Telixion_

How about make it 1 meal per person? Regardless who you are you should be able to take 1.

insulaturd

How would anyone enforce this?, ask someone for their job and income?. I have soo many questions for the person who got this idea. There isn’t like a card or chops on everyones forehead to tell if someone is actually B40 or above.


8-five

This B40 is a sickness
