Don't take from the masses then what? They can't earn from the foreigners so locals have to suck it up lah.
Not unique to Singapore lah. I'm sure other countries where the govt can't earn elsewhere will feed on locals. If the govt or country has strong factors that foreigners will be eager to pay to be there, then can earn from foreigners lah.

HDB flats are on 99 years lease. Shouldn't the annual value be decreasing, just like the COE value of motor cars?
Why is the annual value keep on increasing when the actual value of the flat is depreciating year after year?
