personally more impt to me is more press freedom than worrying
whether there is shelter linkway to the busstop, lift at everyfloor
which in the first place should be in place when they start builind
the HDB.
the generous budget are singaporean money, it is your COE, ERP,
maid levy, foreigner worker levy, casino tax, GST, which in one way
or another is still our money. i dont regard taking excessive money
from me, and giving me a small portion as generous and demand
gratitude.
i dont even has to think for a second whom i should cast my vote
to.
talking about coe, erp, i must admit i'm also one of those
very charitable to the taxman for my old hyundai. it is really
creative how many ways the taxman can squeeze out of it.
coe
erp,
road tax
parking (courtesy of high property taxes of commercial
buildings, to compare at same level, many parts of paris &
london have free parking after 6:30pm up to 9:00am
gst
fuel tax (40 cents on every litre)
(yes like you, i'm also one of those who remembered that when
erp was implemented, it was used to coax us to accept that road
usage it to control congestion)
i didn't realise tax attacks from everywhere can be so
formidable until i sit down one day and thought about it. but for
this, i have no choice but continue to be charitable
& inobjective.
