If the govt upfront tell me tax increase is to fund social programmes and elderly ..I would say go ahead.
But if it is to accumulate surplus. Spend more on defense. Govt out scholarships to foreigners, fund govt linked businesses....if will say "go flu kite".

In many ministries and stat boards, one of the KPIs is to use up all the budget that has been allocated to you. So it is very usual to see people scrambling to use their funds even when there is no real need. If they don't use the money they'll be penalized. Why not scrap this practice for a start?

My friend in PUB said she was sent for the same course for 3 years.
3rd year, she said she does not want to attend the course and was scolded.
WHY? Because the stupid budget must be used up.
So, she ended- up taking the same course year after year.

Perhaps she's right... the 61% need to make the difficult decision n have the politikal courage to boot her out of parleemen
There is no right or wrong decisions.
One only has to bear the consequences that one makes

Taxes should not be used to accumulate surplus/reserves.
KNN the reserves accumulated over the years also so stingy to use.
Use a bit also want to replenish in a short time.
Isn't the purpose of our reserves is to be used for emergency?

Many ministries don't spend all the budget allocated to them.
They keep their surpluses and spend or invest indiscriminately.
Cannot remember which ministry went into fund management and into the Lehman fiasco.
ALL MINISTERIAL SURPLUSES MUST BE RETURNED TO MOF.
EVERY YEAR GOVT MUST REPORT THE BALANCE SHEET OF EACH MINISTRY.

Instead of doing Big Cost Reduction, they do the reverse. This is what actually happen in US now. Overspending and it has become addictive. Debt is enormous.
Don't spend how to make economy growing?
More people jobless and no increase in salary or bonus, right ?

Save the balance for staff's welfare or donation to charity organizations.

Of course need to spend, must not over spend just to boost economy.
