So what if PAP is $8 Billion poorer for short 3 mths
Can they see? Citizens have been forced to be poor
Or work till 70 years old because PAP made us suffer?
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

I rather PM focus on utilizing the govt reserves to build a Singapore 3.0 than mere looking at potential recession or the lost of 8bil...
Govt reserves are not there just to shore up but also to reinvent the nation so that we can continue to do well after each downturn. Thinking of collecting more gst is a stopgap measure at best. There comes a time when we will be left with no one else to tax. We need to reinvent, invest for the new world and not just same old same old with heavier tax collection...

I think 3/4 yes, 1/4 no.
Certain matters we should not pour money to help certain sectors.
It is 100% his fault for making G poorer
He can easily set levies or EP Processing Fee to be $500 for each application
And collect back $1Billion back each year

What can we expect when they spent $880k on a rubbish center. Some more the govt didn't apologize for it but instead found all kinds of excuses to justify their high spending.
Money come too easily to the govt, such that when they do not have enough, all they have to do is raise taxes rather than find ways to optimize their purchase. I see some of the bus-stops and sheltered walkways being torn down and rebuilt even though they're perfectly fine. This, coupled with investment losses, is the real reason why money is always not enough.
