With so many 'íncentives', driving the country towards deficit will help justify increase in GST. It was mentioned, 10%, not 9%.

Diesel tax. In the first place, why allow diesel cars when they disallowed it previously, only to slap higher tax on owners? It's just like CNG, when so many car owners, the early adopters, got played out.

Cutting foreign worker ratio in Service sector. Parents will want to bring up their children to be waiters, retail sales? Maybe PAP can lead by example, have their children work in service sector.

Overall, a good budget.... let Singaporeans eat bishop nose first. No scare, they will still retain 2/3 majority one.
