Recently, a local man took to Twitter to air his grievances regarding the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) closing their office on Friday.
In the since-deleted tweet, he claimed LHDN is a government agency and said the public servants do not deserve their yearly bonus.
Netizens quickly put him in his place and told him that LHDN is not a government agency.
They explained that LHDN is a statutory body. A statutory body is a corporate body set up by parliamentary legislation authorised to enact certain legislation on behalf of the relevant country or state.
In addition, they pointed out that LHDN had publicly announced their operation hours during the Raya Aidilfitri week on its social media platforms.
