  after you receive the money, you will see GST and bus fare increase. Fk up man.
  increase everything after election and giving ppl money. why not increase before election.

  GST rate unlikely, Govt can collec more from GST than the once a yr income tax
  
  In fact, there are already prob with the GST taxing system something which has been left there for 12 years
  
  Bus fare increase? Think rather bang onto service inprovement issues and why buses are still used abv the legal stat lifespan of 17 years?

  Must stay together and move forward..
  
  So must increase the fare, then the life of the bus driver improve, how can we leave them behind. Beside that we need to keep the board of talents committed to work inside. Hence only by increasing the fare can we expect better life and improved service.
  
  Believe me, can't be wrong..expensive is good..cheap no good.
  
  GST..(increase income tax to solve will be better option)..at least I saved the very poor poor man..elite hal.. Robin Hood.. hal

  Isn't it interesting to see that the timing of the progress package payments, to the population, have been scheduled a few days before the general election. Unless I am really dumb someone please tell me how is it possible that our Minister of Finance NOT know that the Prime Minister will be calling elections on May 6, a few days after the progress package payments is made to all Singaporeans? I thought buying votes was illegal in a democracy.

  Well want me to call up New Paper to arrange an interview with you?

  there is no law broken here. the progress package payments and the date the payment being made is a known fact and so is the date for elections. even a kid could tell you that for 1 minister that holds 2 portfolios its more that a conincedence. its called strategy to win votes! so is our votes being purchaased here?
