Raising costs across... businesses may want to consider trim headcounts or workers face wages stagnation
There is no right or wrong decisions.
One only has to bear the consequences that one makes

This will lead to high inflation that retirees will suffer the most. Then the chicken wing to them is to win votes and the dafts become grateful. That's the strategy.

Only when they loses more GRCs, then they will start to do the right thing. So we need more oppo in parliament to solve the root cause of the problem.

Then all business and services will also raise the cost of living.
Healthcare, education . . .cost will increase.
Then more citizens are affected.
So how? Raise some more GST again.
$6 Billion Assurance Package must also be a moving Goal Post like CPF.
By 2027, PAP must set aside $10 Billion Assurance Package for the next 5 years??

You are right to point out that mayors are redundant when we have GRCs. We will save alot of taxpayers money when the 5 mayors are removed.

STOPGAG Measure.
Again, it is just another Bollywood Tree Dance that goes round and round that looks nice but will create more problems for us.
So why PAP Lost control of this issue, too?
My guess is that- GST will increase GDP.
This will increase their salary/ bonus.
So are they working for our long-term interest?
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

When economy was bad, those Non- Citizens just escape and went back to Malaysia, India . . . with a wonderful converted currency to use
Bu we have to continue to suffer in SG
Anyone thinks that PAP will lower the GST to 3 or 5% during Recession?
Price will only go up. They will maintain inflation at all cost to avoid deflation.

Depend on whether the dafts will wiseup. Whereas PLP will always be PLP and can't count on them as they have their benefits and motives.

More than $200 per year lah. If only $200 per year, your whole life also cannot finish.

Do Foreigners= Non- Citizens really contribute much to GST for IRAS?
The big ticket item is rent and goes to the landlord. My ex- colleagues NEVER shop in Singapore even though they are Degree & MBA Holders earning alot.
They buy their special tin lunch box from India. Buy their water bottle from India. Buy their clothes all from India! Go back to India for medical surgery.
So what GST do they contribute??

Those that accept CDC voucher will mark up their price or give less for the same price. So this raising GST exercise by govt is causing more inflation and hardship to the people.

with two casino in sg and yet not enough to made sg cheaper rather than more high cost of living, something not right. LKY is right, better closed casino down since the effects is not efficient. we still need to work and paid more taxes. the revenue collected is not enough really spell out the reasons.

Genting Casino made $452 MILLION Revenue in 2017.
2 Casinos likely $900 Million.
Wonder where the money went to?

This is a lousy idea.. I said before, you raised GST by 2%, business can't increase price by 2%.. They will round it to 5% or 10% so that the selling price either end with $0.5 or $1..
Now you raised 1% in 2023, business raised price by 5% to align price.. 1% in 2024, business raised price again by another 5% to align price.
So sinkie are skinned twice..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..
