Why other countries can exempt certain essentials from gst but spore cannot? E.g rice, cooking oil etc are essentials in our day to day living these items should be exempted from gst. They use a blanket rule all are gst very buay gum IMHO

The only thing PAP cannot do is to stop using income based on year of assessment and implement PAYE income tax..
They cannot figure out how to implement PAYE?

if so call fair ??? Why tax on the rich up to ultra rich is Low ??
I remember someone question them , than they claim , cannot tax too high wait foreigner investors will not come to SG
EPIC rental increase so high they never mention which in fact foreigner investors also left SG due to high office rental.
They claim because the rich spend more thus contribute more on GST , I feel is ???
GST is apply to all be it you are poor , average or rich. Not all Rich always spend and spend . I feel their theory is somehow weird.
Lastly they claim GST help the needy , but over the years is poor getting poorer , average income downgrade to poor , whereas the rich getting richer upgrade to ultra rich .
This is Obviously the taxes for the rich in SG is too low compare to USA , CHINA , EU

DPM Tharman Shanmugaratnam explains that the Budget’s new permanent GST voucher allows people to further understand that this is a clear fair tax system. (AFP photo)
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said on Friday that the purpose of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was to ensure that "the tax system is fair".
Speaking at a Channel NewsAsia forum on Friday evening with panelists from different segments, the minister explained that "most of the taxes are paid by those who are better off and the benefits are received by those less well off."

GST is never fair.. A 8% on a necessity, is more to a poor family than a rich family.
So the burden on the poor is a lot more..
And the rebate given is temporary, the GST increase is there to stay.
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..
