  Why, oh why, do the brightest minds at CERN believe that Comic Sans is an appropriate typeface for presenting a scientific discovery?

  The COI report did mention that there's no way to pull all buses out.. as bus commuters would also end up affected deeply...

  Because they were initially trapped in between eigenstates of being funny and dumb.

  Then observing the Higgs boson collapsed the wavefunction and made them completely dumb.

  ah Bear not too sure would it have real effect...

  The COI even singled out the bendy buses are simply too long, not suitable for MRT bridging at all...

  the whole GST rebate nonsense is pissing people off more than helping..

  they've wasted a shitload of money sending paper to everyone and only 1 per household gets the rebate.. and the most damning is how many people they said were "eligible" for the rebate..

  what i want to know is how much in the budget did they "allocate" for these "rebates" because creative accounting would allow them to allocate a shitload for the "eligible" and then that amount goes into a black hole.. what is paid out is a small percentage of that budgeted amount...

  what the hell is going on in there? why didn't they just put it in as "tax deduction" from our income tax and be done with it? why these goddamned "rebates" ?

  there is something seriously wrong with the reserves and the MIW are trying their best (which is really lousy) to cover it up..

  I was just reminded that they only need to pay GST if they make more than $1 million in revenue annually, and that's highly possible for a few Jalan Kayu outlets.

  I actually find Jalan Kayu prata highly overrated.....

  To me prata is prata.

• sbst275

  Prata thing...

  You cannot say the Prata is 80c, subjected to GST (Unless it's stated clearly like at restaurants)...

  What I'm trying to say is, 80c means it's supposed to be GST inclusive in the norm cases...

  Yes, any turnover more than $1m annually would warrant a GST registration...

  I haven't had one for a long time but I don't feel compelled to, owing to the use of margarine and the horror stories about the curries at certain outlets.
