a) If you have the comprehension skills to read properly, you would have seen that I grouped everything under the tax category. There was no link whatsoever...

eagle SG

If GST was not raised
If housing prices/taxes of profits from property sales were not raised
If CPF withdrawal age was not raised
If Annuity was not to be made compulsory

most people will want bigger and bigger houses

Solution? Increase taxes by so much such that you will never be able to earn enough to buy a big house. You will thus have to settle for a smaller house, which will in turn help Singapore achieve the necessary space for 6.5 million population

If ERP was not raised
If COE was not introduced

there will be too many vehicles on our roads. How then will our roads be able to accodomate 6.5 million of population?

Solution? Tax road users even more such that they can barely afford a car. Restrict COE further to restrict the number of cars (COE price will then be even higher)

What do you think?

vIn.Warrior SG

the island called S’pore will sink.

kramnave SG

Very pissed with the crowd in town on weekends liao. Hardly go there before 8pm nowadays.

eagle SG

that means next time u enter town with your body, you also need to pay a version of ERP

Trump_Card SG

Laughing They should put a ERP gantry at everyone's doorstep , the moment you step out money will be deducted ...

When 6.5m of population is acheived by the profit minded, i believe you will have more curse when ever you step out of your house. You will curse them while you are on train, you will curse them while you are driving, you will curse them when you queueing up, you will curse them when price is going up, you will curse them when you see more less civilised people in public, you will curse when you have to serve ns, you will curse the ministers when you see them on tv and more to go. Isn’t this not happening now and more to curse into the future?

kramnave SG

I don't know what they have done to you but i certainly wake up less angry than you do.

(human) SG

There is certain blessing in ignorance of certain issues than to know it. I guess you are blessed at the time being.

u will curse in the crowded train/bus while standing.

tranportation fare increase for standing to travel for long journey? wat give?!?

Spartans SG

The trains are overcrowded these days compared to the 90s. During peak hour, one may need to wait for the second or third trains before being able to squeeze into the trains. haiz sad life... but what to do?

Government set the 6.5millions target with economy($$$) in mind. Hence ordinary Singaporeans need to sacrifice their living standards for the government to achieve her target.

Anyway do u think public traffic congestion, smaller houses, lack of privacy due to HDB being bulit too close together, ... will affect the ministers? So do u think they will care about our whining and complaints?

GhostZM SG

We may have to invade *cough* someplace for the additional land Laughing

CheerS!!! Wink

Spartans SG

Can u be more exact? Someplace = ...?

GhostZM SG

Erm, some things should be left unspoken..

CheerS!!! Wink

eagle SG

invade the sea by reclaiming land mah

Spartans SG

The Malaysians wont be too happy if we keep on reclaiming land from sea.

They claimed such reclaimation of land affect the water quality, sea route shipment, cause flood in JB... blar blar blar

eagle SG

qlqq9 SG

What happens when Singapore reaches 6.5 mil population? Seriously, as Cantonese says “no eyes to see”. Gahmen has to start planning now for more infrastructure to accommodate the number of people.

lolxzxz SG

norm SG

Spore population can only reach 6 million if more people have sex every night. But most still prefer to masterbate.

eagle SG

20 yrs down the road, we will hv no more small islands; all will be joined into a single big island/land
