i don't understand.........the national day celebrations cost at least tens of millions of dollars, excluding the damage to the enviroment indrectly.......why spend that kind of money when it could be used to offset the GST and transport hikes?
years and years of NDP getting grander and grander.....10 years == several hundred millions liao!!!!!!
all these EXTRAVAGANZA.......sigh.....



Then we should work all day everyday and eat hawker...
Why spend money to celebrate events like Chinese new year, festival and such. We just spend our time working liao. Why eat in Restrauant? Spending money on all these is Extravaganza.
Anyway... i think Singapore has more than enough to do that... further more, The few millions spend on NDP is only a small portion to what the 2% increase government will get.
