    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The time is too short though. At the outset, I reject the Bill. This is because it is clear that Generation Zoomers have reached their elastic limit on taxation. We need to listen to the cries of the citizen and do what Ronald Reagan in the United States of America did. We cut taxes and Government expenditure. If you look at some taxes, for example, the 5 per cent excise duty on coal, in principle, it will kill cement clinker manufacturing industries. With that, we will lose jobs and revenue, and we will not be able to reach the target. Additionally, the import declaration fee, which has been raised from 2.5 to 3.5 per cent, will be moved to the final consumer. Since we import most of the items, such as medicinal drugs, it means hustlers and poor patients will not be able to afford medicine. We need to say no to the Finance Bill and possibly cut taxes. The eco levy on plastics will also increase the price of plastic packages. In reality, that will affect the export of flowers and make our flowers non-competitive. Thank you."
