Our reserve stated to be in Trillions ... even a mere return of just 5% on average for the next 20 yrs....base on our small population of 6miilion .. why do we still need increase gst ?

Moreover the new carbon emission tax will also help generate new revenue for the gov. I think the motive behind is baseless .. citing Green for the tax. Spore dont have other natural resource to generate electricity except solar but most of stay in hi rise which mean we cant install the panel.

No other alternative source of electricity than natural gas but still want tax for carbon emmission ? More like an excuse to collect more tax.

are you sure our Reserves are still there or not bleeding billions every year? Now you know why the govt have to do what they can to make sure the President is appointed by them

They have ran out of ideas on how to generate additional revenues from overseas sources, so revert back to tried and tested means of squeezing the people dry

Seriously dun understand why have to spend up to 10 billion annually on military, waste of resources feeding so many useless majors, colonels and generals sitting around doing nothing real. In contrast, more money can instead be spent on the police as they deal with actual day real life issues
