I totally agree with SD, on the spending tax $$ part.
"Give the man a Fish , you feed him for one day,
Teach the man to fish you feed him a lifetime."
Its not important on how much Tax is spent!!! non of the poor
people know how to earn enough income to stay and live in their 99
years apartments.
Let alone one day they will have to incur heavy medical expenses
for their aged parents.
They won't ever have enough $$$ unless their parents die before
getting sick and leave behind the HDB.
