If they just survive on Milo and bread, that's enough to spur the economy. So long as they spend. That's all it's needed.Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:i mean the poor needs to buy stuff like milo and bread right.. still affect them right... i mean poor excuse lor. should use the old excuse of fuel price increase
And that fuel price reason, it's so common that we are tired of it. -

He obviously believes that many senior citizens are enjoying their retirement strolling the parks and doing taiji every morning.
Come to think about it, do you see any old people doing taiji in the morning nowadays? -
waloa, then i think i shld migrate when the time comes. Maybe to Taiwan.Originally posted by gasband:In 1994 when GST was introduced in Singapore, it was already announced that Singapore GST structure eventually wants to catch up with that of Switzerland. 12 years ago, we should already know we gonna get into deeper and deeper in this never ending hell hole.

our dates with gfs are becoming more expensive...Originally posted by browniebaobao:look at those senior citizens collecting cans, paper cartons etc and some sitting at the interchange, underground tunnels etc asking for donations.
we will see more of these ple after the GST increase.
for goodness sake, money is already not enough, expenditure is already so much more than we save, and they are still demanding for more?
i still remember last few years, the cheapest concert tix can be as low as $50. This yr onwards, cheapest tix is $68 for most concerts held at the Indoor Stadium. How abt next yr? $80? and the most expensive seats would be $180?
NUTS! -
You reap what you sow,vote somemore for the ruling party lah!

The standard of living is higher, but is our standard higher or not?

I must really question their knowledge of econs as well.Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:oh PM Lee come on i learn econs too
Like granting SBS Transit the right to run the NEL on the basis that it will 'spur competition'... any dumbass A Level Economics student will tell you that that's an unwise thing to do since railway lines are a natural monopoly and that any 'competition' would most likely lead to wastage.
And I can still remember how some minister actually said the following when they thought that it may not be such a good idea after all:
"No, it was not a U-turn, and neither was it a reversal of government policy. But you can call it a rethink."
(by the way, can someone tell me exactly who said that?)
The sad thing is that there are Singaporeans who are actually dumb enough to fall for all this. -

with the increasing price of electricity and gst will cinema raise the price of their tickets again?? then 1 ticket on weekend $10??
-
There you have it, people of Singapore - the election mandate of price and tax hikes in the name of progress. I can't agree more with mr.brown why he's so fedup with progress. And guess who gets the coconuts and who gets the peanuts? -
One thing I know.
After Bus Fee Hike,
More Waiting Time.
More Non-Aircon Bus.
More Passengers
Today, GST Hike
Tomorrow, Poodle's Pay Rise for being a good dog.
That is why they have meeting and collect more money.
When u have a Ah Long as a Head, you have to accept blackmailing as part of the progress package. -
