That is my stand also.
We have paid so much tax and reaped so much revenue from all the
ERP and casinos.
The money should be re-invested into the welfare of the people
and not into the few talents in the house.
If they can waste three days to demand for their high salary
(That is is not an important national agenda also), why the delay
and excuse in the past weeks into improving the people healthcare
?
Why the excuse on paying for the buses using the people money ?
(Can he guaranteed NO fare increase for the next 10 years since it
is the REASON for paying for the bus ?)
Why they can spend $36 million sponsoring FTs who mocked sg pple
as dogs and not used the money to improve the situation in sg ?
Why they can allow a place to operate without a MP if they
claimed to be a 1st world government during the election ?
Who is really the "poor" that they are helping ?
When he took over as Finance Minister , I had great hopes that more
will be done for the old and sick. Afterall I was told that his
father was a doctor and a very compassionate one at that. When
government leaders fall sick , they get the best treatment in first
class wards. Maybe they should simply spend one night or two of
their one or two weeks stay in hospital ( if they have the chance)
to stay in a 3rd class ward(incognito if that is possible even) to
observe the patients and their families, and what they go thro. And
even then, do not forget that there are others out there who delay
seeking treatment at the hospital because they are afraid they
cannot afford the cost! Oh by the way, for those who do not know ,
3rd class wards are still paying wards though subsidized - no free
lunch ok!
