Why raised GST to 9%?
"Temasek's chief executive Ho Ching proclaimed that investment returns by Temasek, GIC and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) are the “single largest contributor” to Singapore's budget."
If they can do it then, why can't they do it now?

Are they not using Norwegian SWF as their benchmark?
Norwegian SWF reported ROI US$222.2 billions in one year.

Temasek and GIC invested in different types of assets class as compared to Norwegian SWF.
That's why Norwegians SWF ROI US$222.2 billions in 2024 while both Singapore SWFs crying foul..
ROI near zero - not acceptable

They dont dare to raise corporate tax. $$$ must come out from somewhere, so dafts will be the easy target. 编几句鬼话就够了,钱就立马送上门lah.
