Tax Seminar

Heh, I attended a taxation seminar recently at Shearn Delamore, acknowledge as being one of the biggest and oldest law firms around and specializing in 7 areas of law. The speakers were a Ms. Goh, the head of taxation for Shearn Delamore and Anand Raj, one of the partners and another speaker, whom I think went by the name of Irene? Alice? Well, something like that. The taxation department was staffed by 2 other lawyers by the name of Alicia and the bootylicious Cynthia with the nice long legs and the short skirt, whose skirt would ride up quite high, and thus granting with superb eye candy and a constant erection, whom I had the pleasure of seating beside.

The talk was well attended by other legal personnel from various other companies from within the Klang Valley, I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with the legal head of Exxon and the CFO of SIME UEP.

The seminar itself was rather interesting as both Ms. Goh and Mr Anand held my attention with their catchy presentation and their humorous take on all things tax related and with Mr. Anand’s colourful explanations, including quoting from Gopal Sri Ram “entertainment means jolly jollylah”. A simple explanation from, in my opinion still a revered exponent of law, after all the somewhat ludicrous and rambunctious explanations from different courts of law, including some very archaic ones.

Whereas the talk by the other speaker Irene or Alicia, I can’t recall, this just goes to show how boring her part was. I mean, yes, we all know tax is a very boring and dry subject, so please do not go out of your way to make it even drier, which I take my hat of to Ms. Irene/ Alicia for making it drier than the hair dryer talks given by a one Mr. Alex Ferguson.

All in all, I understand that the Inland Revenue is a thing to be hated and despised by us the tax payers. The Inland Revenue has recently and somewhat sarcastically being interpreted by the Anand as wanting to be above the law and whatever the law dictates, they will not a party nor be bound. I mean this just goes to show how stupidity can and will overseat the law.

Yawn, so now, I’m back in my office, in front of the computer trying to make sense of some things legal and some things not so legal. Till next time, of which I promise to write something definitely more interesting, which can’t be that hard, afterall, taxation, as acknowledged by my peers, is the “boringest” excuse me for want of a better word, subject in the universe.
