With the huge amount of reserves that has been accumulated and
transferred to GIC and Temasek Holdings - surely the profits
generated from the invested Surplus and Reserves by these two
Premier Companies should have been returned to the Singapore "
National Account " and make it unnecessary for any GST increases
?
[b]Can we stop GST from happening ?
SIMPLE - vote as many Opposition into Parliament to make any
attempt to legislate any GST increases into an impasse.
The Opposition Members of Parliament could act as an alternative
and parallel guardian to the incumbent Ruling Political
Party.
It can truly be the SECOND KEY to protect our National
Reserves, when the Office of the Elected President is made
ineffective by the changes made to legislations affecting its
position, and by the appointment of candidates closely associated
with the Ruling Political Party.
Singaporeans are not cooperative enough, so oppositions cant win at
all. bonus is an election gimmick, i remember previous election,
after 2 months, PUB increase, petrol increase, CC increase, come
back to square one, better dont give bonus and also dont increase
the price of essential item,
