Clever boy, first score on
accuracy.
What happened to accuracy
after only two Facts presented ?
Fact 1: You agreed to this point.
Good girl. Expected, afterall, who to expect from a know-rubbish
only girl who lives in a rubbish bin?
Fact 2:You agreed to this point.
Good girl. Expected, afterall, who to expect from a know-rubbish
only girl who lives in a rubbish bin?
Is a deerHunter so desparate for
scoring points and will shamelessly ignore inconsistencies
revealed, and will now resort to twisting facts even as you
will conveniently accuse others for indulging into this black art -
when you are an expert practitioner ?
Did you not cleverly mention the
following facts in your earlier response that I have
mentioned your early display in accuracy ?
Fact 1. Singapore do not have
fossilized fuels or own any.
Fact 2. Singapore is only one of the major refining centres
in the world.
How do you intend to twist your
statements and reconcile your Fact 2 with Fact 3
?
Fact 3. Singapore still have
to import oil for
domestic
consumption.
Are you attempting to
mischeviously divert attention from the obvious flaw in a statement
that is clearly not so clever ?
If my information is
from residing in a rubbish bin, your dubious knowledge must
surely be a result from living in a mansion sized garbage
bin.
Clever point made with available
information and posted with factual accuracy.
What social spending has
this Singapore Government made - when every cent spent is
recovered as revenues from the fees charged for its use, and
the total amount collected will probably be twice the amount
spent.
Social spending - You are blind if
you don't see social spending, but then you live in the rubbish
bin. Can't be helped, i supposed.
Is there social spending when the
Government insist that Singaporeans should not be dependent on this
as a crutch ?
Whatever social spending that
exist, are the services paid for by the Government at no charge to
the citizens, or are the citizens made to pay for such services at
prices that result in additional profit to the Government
?
Do you pay for the garbage that
you get when you live in a mansion sized garbage bin - or is it
free for your choosing, which explains for your ignorance to the
cost that Singapore has to pay for what we get from this Government
?
Oil is exported by Oil Companies -
is it exported by the Singapore Government ?
What are the 'Premiums' you are
referring to - or are you simply beating about the bush hoping some
straws will fly off the bush for you to catch ?
How are the "premiums" become
subsidies from Oil Companies ?
How do you relate the "premiums"
to become Government revenues for social spending ?
The fact is - the
Singapore Government do not export
oil.
Oil is exported by the Oil
Companies at prices determined by the global mechanism, with the
Singapore Government imposing annual corporate tax on the annual
profits of the Oil Companies.
Oil is a commodity that is
nationalized by most countries. Their own companies are state
owned. Those private companies that existed before
nationalization have to pay hefty royalties to continue their
operations in those countries. I can write out the entire pricing
and tax mechanisims, but that would be allowing you to laze. Go to
the library and find your answers how the premiums are derived at,
but do have a shower first, for you stink, espacially comming
from a rubbish bin.
To
make it simple and cast off your smokes
that tried cloud the issue, premiums are the over and
above costs of oil that a country can get from exports, on the
litre. Taking msia our neighbour as a comparison and easier
understand, the scrapping of the subsidies are the 'premiums'
they would have earn if they had exported the
oil.
But
then, Atobe, i expect you don't understand. Just don't try to act
smart and cloud the issue, for only your stupidity shows
clearly
Are the 'Oil Companies'
nationalised in Singapore ?
Are the "premiums - over and
above the costs of oil from exports" reflected in the various
Financial Reports of the various Oil Companies in Singapore - or
are they part of the Financial Revenue in the books of which
Ministry ?
Is there a Ministry of Petroleum
in Singapore - as if we are an Oil Exporting Country like Iran,
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Russia ?
Are you confusing yourself with
the revenues that the Singapore Government - Finance Ministry -
gets through its Corporate Taxes and
not from
any excise export tax of refined products exported by
SHELL, Esso-Mobil, or SPC ?
Hongkong's area of 1,104
sq km is not much bigger than Singapore's 707 sq km
..............compared to Singapore.
I don't even want to rebut on
this. You are more stupid than i can ever describe you. Go speak to
Thomas Chow,Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Transport
and Works, SAR if he believes their road is better
managed.
Are you taking umbrage from
discussing this due to your obvious lack of knowledge, or are you
simply running short of supply of your garbage ?
If only you have used 'google
search' it would have brought you to several articles that would
have helped you understand the situation, but it will probably
deflate your stand on this issue. The following is an extract of
Hong Kong
Road Traffic Scheme. comparing it with the various
Singapore type solutions :
In other cities, similar systems have failed to see the
green light for various reasons. For example, Hong Kong first
conducted a pilot test on the Electronic Road Pricing system
in 1983 to
1985 with positive
results.[17] The study also
included a simulation of the Singapore Area Licensing
Scheme-based 12-hour manual toll
collecting system, itself also a world pioneering effort in road
pricing since 1975. However,
public opposition against the move stalled its implementation. New
studies conducted in the 1990s
and the opposition towards further reclamation of
the Victoria Harbour
recently has led to advocates of the ERP as a possible
alternative for road management. Thomas Chow,
Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works, noted,
however, that the Central-Wan Chai
Bypass, to be built on the reclaimed
land, is still needed because the ERP works best if an alternative
road system is available, citing the Singapore and London
experiences whereby the systems were only implemented after
bypasses were available. (see also Edinburgh congestion
charge)
If Hong Kong's traffic condition
is worst then Singapore, how did Hong Kong turn out to
be selected as the Best Place for Business for the Year
2008 ?
Surely, you will know by now that
Singapore is expanding the catchment area for more ERP gantries to
be placed. This will surely result in a situation where there will
be no bypasses available for any vehicles.
At least, the Hong Kongers'
protests are listened to by their Government - do Singaporeans'
have any opportunity to protest to a Government that think
themselves to be smarter then the sum-total of intelligence of ALL
Singaporeans ?
It is sheer nonsense that
Singapore do not have enough land, .....for "appropriate" market
prices before the URA release the land for development - {adding
fuel to the hot property market}.
That's nonsense to you, who live
in a rubbish bin, but a reality for many, who faces high land costs
and traffic congestion.
It is clear by now that you are
only able to see what the Government tell you to see, and know what
you need to know.
Are you qualified even to know if
I live in a rubbish bin, when the Government has dumped you into a
$27 garbage bin that you picked for yourself from some limited
selection offered to you ?
It is disingeniously misleading to
claim that Petrol Tax only affects car owners, as non-car
owners are similarly affected when the commercial sector will pass
on the cost of their business to all consumers - regardless of
car-ownership.
Tell me where i misled, when i
already said transport passengers will bear add-on costs? Your
attempts to smear is pathetic.
Are transport passengers the only
one bearing add-on costs ?
What about those who cannot travel
- the old, the infirmed, the handicapped, the poor who cannot even
afford public transport ?
Are they not similarly affected by
Petrol Tax that affect the commercial activities - the prices of
goods and services traded ?
Are you constantly looking at the
World through the narrow scope of a 'deerHunter' vision
?
Should we forgive your juvenile
mind that never developed beyond what you see with such narrow
vision through a "cross-haired hunting
scope" ?
Only a die-hard carpet beggar of
the MIW will insist that social spending ....
......................energy
sources to be installed ?
No, i never use carpet, so it is
irrelevant to me. However, that is your belief, and as usual flawed
for you live in a rubbish bin and blind to all that had happened or
is happening in the alternative energy source search.
Do you need a carpet to
be such an obliging 'carpet-beggar' to repeat every word and
plagiarise even the style in your efforts to
propagate the monolithic statements from your Great Mentor
Shepherd ?
Even if you do not own a carpet,
the Istana has quite a few, which I am quite sure must have been
dumped into your large sized $27 garbage bin.
Only a propagandist will promote
this line that fare increases demanded by transport companies are
not easy to come by.
Have you counted the number of
fare price adjustments since Election 2006 ?
And the result? Remember we do
have opposition parties in the parliament as well. And thankfully,
not many public transport providers had to fold, otherwise, many
may have to walk to work. But not a consequence to you, after all,
you live only in a rubbish bin.
Have you not been informed that
all the existing bus companies are Government Linked Companies
?
Did your Mentor Shepherd left you
out in the cold in the IPO offered ?
Do you think that this Government
will let their GLCs operate at a loss ?
This Government had forced the
previously owned Private Bus Companies to fold by refusing any
increases to the fares requested, and which allowed this Government
to shamelessly nationalise the Public Transport Services claiming
it to be more efficiently operated under one
umbrella.
Yet, almost thirty years todate,
we have a multiple number of public transport companies - all
linked to Government interests.
Is it now an impasse
?
Are you claiming
............into foreign
companies to latch on to their expertise, without any certainty of
any outcome ?
Questions, questions. I have no
wish to infer or assume. You better state your stand if you want me
to respond, otherwise, just crawl back to your bin.
Are you simply too lazy to think,
or do you already know the answers to the questions will simply
puncture your position, and simply too embarass to admit your own
failed efforts at a Grand Standing Performance ?
It is simply no use to be
excusing yourself with lame excuses, as it will simply diminish
your cherised position to your larger public
audience.
