  I think they are punishing us for the decreased percentage of votes.

  Not a good idea. This may back fire them in the next voting. Expect the % to drop further.

  Potong Pasir will NEVER have a swimming pool. Last time already reject liao. If they want, I would suggest a theme park similar to water world @ sentosa.

  So I presume that having one of the lowest tax rates justify the rising tax for the coming year?

  eh.. u think singaporeans never vote b4 izzit? Everytime PAP win.. sure overall price hike.. still next election, PAP win. Trust me.. next election.. PAP will win.. then price hike again.. and again.. and again..
  
  Singaporeans generally love price hikes coz we too rich and have this strange desire to Pay And Pay lah... this is a time proven fact.
