Most of the governments tax the rich more so they can, at least in theory, provide universal services to the citizen. The governments might also use the money help the abject poor segment of the countries. The rich segment, while some with objections, mostly agree that is the best social policy. The overachievers helping the underachievers, the oldest heartwarming story in the world and that is how a country move forward.
The Malaysian government however, starting to limit over-achieving. Starting from next year, no secondary students can take more than 10 subjects for SPM. Why the artificial ceiling? The official excuse is to streamline the scholarship award process. The scholarship program that is used to spur the overachievers to achieve more is now the excuse for limiting achievement. Let alone the fact our government is utterly inefficient, now it is devising policies that is paradoxical to its own other policy.
