I need to convince myself that wealth tax works because I’m skeptical.

So I went digging.

Most people imagine a wealth tax like this. Tax the billionaires. The rich pay more. The country becomes more equal. Simple.

What does the day say?

Only 4 countries in the world still have a broad wealth tax today. Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and Colombia. Out of these, only Switzerland has clearly succeeded.

Why?

Switzerland does the opposite of what most people would guess.
Switzerland taxes wealth at very low rates. Between 0.05% and 1%. The starting point is also very low, around CHF 80,000 (about RM390,000). So the tax does not just hit billionaires. It hits the upper middle class too.

This sounds unfair at first. But it is exactly why it works.

Because the tax is small and applies to many people, the wealthy cannot escape it easily. Moving to another country to avoid 0.5% tax is not worth the trouble. Plus there are millions of taxpayers contributing, so the total revenue is huge. Switzerland collects about 4.3% of all tax revenue from this single tax. That is a lot.

Now compare with France. France used to have a wealth tax from 1982 until 2018. The rates were high. The tax only applied to the very rich. Sounds fairer right?

Result. About 10,000 wealthy French citizens left France over 15 years, taking 35 billion euros with them. The tax raised very little money. France gave up and replaced it with a property-only tax in 2018.

Sweden tried the same. High rates. Narrow target. The IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad moved to Switzerland and stayed there for decades. Sweden gave up in 2007. The wealth tax was only collecting 0.16% of GDP. Repealing it had basically no effect on government finances.

Norway is in between. They have a wealth tax since 1892. Their income inequality is very low (Gini 0.26, one of the lowest in the world). But their wealth inequality is still high (Gini 0.63, above OECD average). When Norway raised wealth tax rates in 2022, more rich people left in one year than in the past 13 years combined.

Spain has the same structure but with a twist. The Madrid region offers 100% exemption. So Spanish billionaires just move from other regions to Madrid. The national wealth tax effectively does not work because of this loophole.

So what actually reduces inequality?
Studies show that personal income taxes and property taxes do far more for reducing inequality than wealth taxes ever do.

The countries with the lowest Gini coefficients in the world (Belgium, Slovenia, Finland, Czech Republic) do not have wealth taxes. They have progressive income taxes and strong welfare systems.

What this means for Malaysia.

We need more tax revenue. But if we want to reduce inequality, a 2% tax on the richest billionaire is not the strongest tool.

A few things that would work better.

Reform our property tax. Improve capital gains tax. Strengthen inheritance tax. Make our income tax brackets more progressive. Better enforcement on existing tax laws.

A separate question worth thinking about. Are we sure the existing wealth transfer mechanisms in our tax system (rebates, allowances, zakat treatment) are reaching the poor as efficiently as we assume? Worth a separate conversation.

If we really want to introduce a wealth tax, we should copy Switzerland. Low rates, applied broadly, hard to escape. Not high rates on a small group of billionaires who can simply move to Singapore or Hong Kong.

2% on 1b is 20million, that’s a penthouse in Singapore, per year.

Most people imagine a wealth tax catches the super rich. The data says only the Swiss model actually does that.

Most expensive lesson Europe learned in 30 years.

Ana Kasparian just read the most damning report on Israel's prisons. Sexual torture is organized state policy, endorsed by the highest authorities. Women are raped for days. Men are raped by dogs. Fire extinguisher nozzles are inserted into bodies.

This is how western media's moral state defend itself and they refuse to report. Rape as state policy. Torture as organized practice. Women and men are violated in the most brutal ways

Berikut ringkasan poin utama Taklimat Krisis Tenaga Global oleh Menteri Ekonomi Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir (14 April 2026):

- Krisis global semakin teruk akibat konflik Asia Barat; pemulihan lambat, kesan lag (tekanan kos dulu, baru pekerjaan/pendapatan).
- Impak sedia ada: bekalan tenaga, penerbangan, logistik, makanan & ubat terjejas. Sektor penerbangan/pelancongan paling teruk (55 penerbangan dibatal, penurunan pelancong 1.5 juta diunjur).
- Pasaran buruh: impak nyata suku 2 (Jun 2026) jika konflik berlanjut; kehilangan kerja keseluruhan menurun setakat ini, tapi risiko tinggi.
- Pengangkutan laut/darat stabil; ekonomi domestik tekanan tapi belum meluas.
- Tindakan kerajaan: bekalan stabil Apr-Mei (cabaran Jun+); MTEN pantau harga, jualan murah, banteras penyeludupan; WFH fleksibel sektor awam dari 15 Apr (kecuali kritikal); perkuat ketahanan bahan api (Petronas); sokongan kewangan BNM; pastikan stok ubat & persiapan Haji; fokus jaga kebajikan rakyat & ekonomi bergerak tanpa gula-gula.

Kerajaan bertindak teratur & menyeluruh.

Recently, Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse to pressure his father into giving confessions east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources.

The child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, suffered psychological trauma after the death of a horse he used for income. While taking his child to buy supplies a few days ago, he was caught in gunfire near his home and forced by soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach the Israeli checkpoint, where he was stripped of his clothes.

According to witnesses, the army then took the child and interrogated the father at the checkpoint. The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning with cigarettes on his leg, pricking, and inserting a metal nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report.

The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours and handed over to his family through the International Red Cross, while the father remains in detention.

Dear @HASiLMalaysia. Harap untuk tahun 2026 ni kaji baliklah pelepasan individu untuk cukai. Sampai bila pelepasan untuk anak-anak kekal RM 2000 seorang untuk setahun. Tak relevan dah RM 2000 tu. KWSP pun RM 4000 je. M40 ke atas tersepit jugak walaupun gaji banyak sikit.

Aku sampai 8.30 mlm.

Sekitar 8.40 sekumpulan polis tahan peguam senior Haniff Khatri elok lalu depan aku, belumpun sempat dia sampai di lokasi.

Tidak ada sesiapapun yang berucap & tidak ada sesiapapun yang melakukan provokasi. Orang ramai hanya berkumpul.

Tangkapan itu dibuat secara jelas di atas arahan Anwar Ibrahim yang dibuat secara terbuka siang tadi.

Sebagai individu yang mengikuti siri-siri ceramah & perhimpunan sepanjang PKR/PH menjadi pembangkang, pada malam ini aku merasakan inilah tindakan paling BACUL yang Presiden PKR itu lakukan setelah dia menjadi PM/Kerajaan; menahan orang tanpa apa-apa sebab munasabah yang dilakukan peguam senior itu.

Detik-detik kejatuhan Kerajaan Madani akan bermula di sini, pada malam ini.

Bangun Nabi Muhammad, umat Islam pun turut bangun.

Dan antara Nabi Isa & Nabi Muhammad, ada seorang lelaki bangun. Siapa dia?

Dua hari ini

Malaysia lancarkan Dua Dasar penting untuk Malaysia

1) Reformasi Pendidikan Negara 2026-2035

2) Dasar Industri Pertahanan Negara

Atas kertas. Alhamdulillah Dasar ini sangat baik untuk rakyat dan negara

Tetapi masalah utama Malaysia bukan nak plan. Tapi nak Execute Plan ni. Ramai rakyat Malaysia memang ambik maklum yang Malaysia ni bab Execute bermasalah sikit. Plan cantik tapi kat lapangan tak sama. Benda ni Kerajaan kena sangat sangat baiki. Kita tunggu dan lihat

Satu lagi Dasar ini patut jadi Peta untuk mana mana Kerajaan. Bertukar Kerajaan tidak bermakna Dasar bertukar. Ia mungkin boleh diadjust tetapi jangan scrap dasar atas alasan tukar Menteri

The Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, has voiced deep concern over the growing prevalence of corruption and expressed disappointment at those who continue to support individuals convicted of graft.

Tuanku Muhriz said corruption is the foremost enemy of justice, trust and the nation’s future.

His Royal Highness said he was shocked and disheartened that some still rally behind individuals found guilty of serious corruption offences, as if such acts were acceptable or forgivable.

“Such attitudes reflect not only a failure to grasp the destructive impact of corruption on institutional integrity and society’s moral foundations, but also call for serious reflection on one’s faith, principles and values.”

The Negeri Sembilan ruler made the remarks at the investiture ceremony of state awards, medals and honours in conjunction with his 78th birthday at Istana Besar Seri Menanti, here today.
