    "content": " Hon. Chair, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 14 and inserting the following new Clause 14 − Amendment of Section 19 of No. 9 of 1998 14. Section 19 of the principal Act is amended− (a) in subsection (2) by deleting the words “five times” appearing immediately after the words “penalty equal to” and substituting therefor the words “ten per cent of”; and, (b) by deleting subsection (3). Hon. Chair, I now want to tell Hon. Ichung’wah to be comfortable because this amendment seeks to reduce the penalty for non-remittance of special contributions by self-employed persons from five times the contribution to only 10 per cent of the amount of contribution due. This is necessary to ensure a realistic payment of penalty as non-remittance by contributors may be occasioned by lack of funds or income. The amendment further seeks to eliminate double-penalty for non-remittance as contained in sub-section 3. Therefore, Hon. Ichung’wah should be very happy that whatever he was trying to propose earlier has already been taken care of."
