Singaporeans have been sucked high and dry, the spending power
almost reaching the ground zero level. Just look around you, how
much taxes you need to pay daily. If you are renting a car from the
government for 10 years(10 years COE), you
need to pay more than 100% of taxes called ARF, next comes the GST, the
COE, the road tax, more than 50% petrol tax,
so for every kilometer of road you move your rented car around,
just calculate how much of money you spend goes to the govt
coffer!Next come the ERP gantry charges!
Again the money goes to the govt, the car park charges, tarffic
accident and any other fines, whether you are in the right or in
the wrong, again the fines go to the govt coffer!!!If you have a
bit of money left for your foods, you still need to fork out 5% for
the GST, you go public toilet, again you need
to pay! If you are taking a bus or MRT, you
are no better off and if you forget to ‘tap’ your EZ-link card, you
will have to go to jail besides paying the ever increasing (one way
traffic) fares! So you see when Singaporeans spending power
reaching ground zero, Rupiahs also welcome not to mention
ringgit!!!!
