Rosmah hopes home services charges post-GST will not hurt housewives like her

The prime minister's wife, Datin Rosmah Mansor, says traders who provide housecall services, such as tailors and hairdressers are not likely to register with the government for GST but may still raise their fees after April. – The Malaysian Insider pic, February 23, 2015.

This, according to the president of the Welfare Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti), was because hairdressers, tailors and make-up artists who make house calls, had begun to increase their prices.

Highlighting this at a GST briefing in Petaling Jaya, Rosmah said she too was not spared from the predicament and had to fork out RM1,200 each time she had to dye her hair at home.

"It is really hard to make tailored clothes these days. Their prices come up to RM500, and I am speaking as a representative of a housewife that buys made-to-order clothes. 

"We have to make beautiful clothes to attend functions, but the prices are way too high.

For those who can afford, it's alright.  "But what about housewives like us, with no income?" she said during the briefing, which was attended by other wives of ministers and deputy ministers (Bakti).

Rosmah complained that the charges for hairdressers, tailors and make-up artists who make house calls were "really high" and "did not make sense".

She said that housewives like herself, who had no choice but to use their services, often became victims and were burdened with exorbitant prices.

"Housewives, especially, often become the victims to such traders because there is no price control and guidelines by the government on house call services," she said.

Despite stumbling oil prices, Rosmah said that these errant business people have refused to lower the prices for their services.

"Do we (housewives) have to keep asking our husbands then? For those who have husbands who don't mind giving (money), it's fine. But sometimes, there are husbands who say 'hey, I gave you last week and you want more?'

"Tailors and hairdressers will not register but we don't want them to increase the charge for their services."


"When the prices of these services increase by RM200 we feel the pinch and if we complain, I am just afraid that they wouldn't want to make our clothes. And it is hard for us as wives of civil servants," she said.

My comments : Ok folks, saya dah mati akal. I really dont know what to say.  When the filling is much more than the pastry I think it is called a pie. When the pastry is more than the filling you call it something else. 

This is just plain crude, no class, tactless, tacky, 'take the girl out of the village, but not the ...." type of comment.

To all commenters, if you want to see your commentds through, no expletives or four letter words ok. We need to show that the ordinary rakyat have better class than you know who.
