Giving out F1 tickets after race is over.

Maybe they should declare the F1 race results in Singapore to be void due to some race violation and demand that the racers all come back to race again.

Then people can use their free tickets.

That's the budget from MCYS. Simple stats but goliath significance. The country's image matters a lot more than us peasants.

There will be more people who will want to become the needy if the needy were easily helped with relieve funds.

Do you still want to work when you can become one of the needy and get financial help from the Government?

Do you still want to work, knowing that part of your tax contribution is going to be used to help these needy?

Government do not wish to encourage people to become the needy and be dependent on the country.

You don't need to be the Government to know that Singaporeans are lazy and highly dependent (not independent).

shock???!!! not at all, perhaps these VP or whatsoever holding offices in the olympic committees do not understand that Singapore has a 7% Gst, ERP, high COE and many more high costs of living. What is 380++ millions when our we can afford to loose billions in our soverignity wealth leading to high cost of collection from its citizens and today, they claim to have gained 10 billions by MAS, but nothing in return for its citizens.

So, dun worry, Singapore can even host the Olympic if they get a chance, afterall, unlike other countries, our cost can be recover easily

If developing countries cannot afford, dun host.

Of course Spore can hold any any world class events.

Just increase any costs, pass the bulks down to our pple and govt in no time, recoup the money back very fast and easy.

So, I think better not to have big mega event in Spore. We feard the rising cost of our daily expenses.

You mean, when you become needy (due to illness, diability, etc), you WILL NOT expect help from government?

That you will still continue to work as a needy?

Then why are you paying taxes to goverment if they don't give you help/aid at all?

It's natural to become lazy knowing you can get some money from the govt without working.

But it's equally natural for the govt to spend money recklessly without the need for accountability?????

Every big events create jobs, good for Singaporeans, from youngs to the old ones, the youngs will entertain the guests, the oldies will have job in cleaning up the places after the big events. And if there are 4 big events every year in singapore, singaporeans will sure to get jobs, so if singaporeans got jobs, they can earn salary and therefore can pay the rising cost with no problems.

Smart Govt

Smart Govt

It's good of course.....but don't over blow budget and give excuses lah.

angel7030 SG

Sorry, PAP are good in excuses, for every failure, there is sure to have a reason and excuse, the blame is alway divert out of their way, did you notice they blamed the food caterers for the food poisoning, the wrong emails for wrong certificate, the budget committee for miscalculation.

And now, luck is with them, cos India commonwealth games is much much worst prepared than YOG, so the in reverse, they said they are actually very good and well organised. PAP alway got some lucky star to save them.

angel7030 SG

Even a limped most wanted terrorist can escape a top security prison, travel all the way to the north coast and swim to JB, and the Deputy PM in charge do not get a single hair loss, what is YOG mess up comparing to it. Nothing.

dotaro SG

No wonder our bright young ones wants to to be scholars or work as civil servants.....can get away with failures.

Cannot like that....

angel7030 SG
