i went out for lunch yesterday and again someone brought up the issue of the 5% government tax at fastfood outlets such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. Rumors have been circulating that Malays are exempted from paying the tax after a meal while non-Malays are charged. Anyway, one of my lunchtime associates asked a man-about-town to confirm whether the rumors were true. man-about-town confirmed that the rumors were true - he personally went out to pizza hut for a meal and asked a Malay buddy to get the bill. And Lo and behold, the bill was indeed cheaper when paid by a Malay. Immediately i asked but isn't this practice illegal? My lunchtime associates laughed. I also queried how they could ascertain whether the customer was malay or non-Malay since some Malays looked like non-Malays and vice-versa? No one could answer me on that point. I surmised that if indeed there was this practice, it can't be company policy or the law (as far as i know the sales and service tax applies uniformly acorss the board regardless of race) but rather some miscreant employees sympathising with poor malays and not charging them 5% govt tax. But wouldn't they be caught by the fastfood outlet Manager when they balance the cashier's till at the end of each day? Hmmmm
