Why punished Voters severely with 2 rapid succession of GST increases ahead of coming General Election?
Merciless
Adding salt to injury already suffered under today's high costs of living.
Bluntly no brainer

Very desperate measure too fast because they have somehow over spent somewhere and need to fill up the coffers. My guess is to support the ridiculous Digi Smart Nation Scam.

Our Nation is super rich and giving GST vouchers are chicken feed. Just take funds from temasick to give kindness to citizens is more rationale, rather than throwing to those useless investments. It does not even need GST increase.

A jump in valuation, 85% Citizens living in HDBs be paying much higher Property Tax and higher GST of 9%.
They are taxation.

Our leaders view us as mere cogs in the wheel that keeps the economy moving at full steam. We are nobodies to our leaders as it is economic growth at all costs.
