Increase gst to help the lower income group? This will sooner kill them before aid arrives, if at all! How r they gonna afford the cost increase in utilities and necessities, let alone luxuries.........

like i said.. it's a case of "here.. have a dozen fish.. for that, i'm going to tax you half a fish for the rest of your life"
if it wasn't the gabrament, it'll be a scam -
Yup... help the needy by increasing an across-the-board tax which simple economic theory tells us is regressive and falls more harshly on the lower-income groups.Originally posted by will4:The main aim is to help the needy cause the fear of the widening income gap.
Right now I'm still trying to work out the twisted logic of that. -
no need to work out the logic, you can never understand the PAP logic, it is define as quantum logic.
I would say the money not enough for future investment, since they are bleeding heavily from the present one -

Since Singapore is one of the most transparent country in the whole, can we open up the account and check?
Mr. President, please be the representative for the people as only you hold the authority to audit our treasure chest. -

So it's the people's fault for the bad investment decisions that they make.Originally posted by justcooler:no need to work out the logic, you can never understand the PAP logic, it is define as quantum logic.

Yesiree, I see the logic. -
I guess the only person dared to do that was the late President Ong.Originally posted by adven7:Since Singapore is one of the most transparent country in the whole, can we open up the account and check?

http://www.singapore-window.org/sw00/000310a4.htmWhy did they not want to tell you?
I do not know. Don't ask me, because I don't have the answer. I've been asking them. In fact, in 1996, exactly halfway through my term, I wrote prime minister Goh a letter. At that time, everybody was expecting a general election in December or January. After the election, a new government would be sworn in. When that happens, all the reserves, whether past or current, become past reserves and are locked up on the changeover date. As president, I have to safeguard them and they can only be drawn upon with my permission. So I said to Mr Goh: It's already halfway through my term, but until today I still don't know all these figures about the reserves.
So the government had been stonewalling you, the president, for three years?
Yes. What happened actually was, as you know, in accounting, when you talk about reserves, it's either cash reserves or assets reserves. The cash side is straightforward: investment, how many million dollars here and there, how much comes from the investment boards and so on. That was straightforward -- but still we had to ask for it. For the assets, like properties and so on, normally you say it's worth $30 million or $100 million or whatever. But they said it would take 56-man years to produce a dollar-and-cents value of the immovable assets. So I discussed this with the accountant-general and the auditor-general and we came to a compromise. The government would not need to give me the dollar-and-cents value, just give me a listing of all the properties that the government owns. -
Ya. I don't expect this president to do anything except being a rubber stamp.Originally posted by mhcampboy:I guess the only person dared to do that was the late President Ong.
