i dont need him to give subsidy

 

i just need him to press cartel to lower their fuel prices when crude oil drops.

 

 

since now they are increasing when crude oil increases,

 

 

and to lower the fuel tax. someone mention is 70c per litre?

How the hell would he understand?

I'm not asking for subsidies, but at least can't they reduce the petrol tax?

 

And then how about further reduce the GST? Further, didn't they say the GST increase was to "help" the lower income group? Can't the govt just don't try and "help" for once? Everytime they want to "help" some group of people, it end up costing everybody.

what if we don't have national day celebration this year and distributed the money to everyone??? I think at least good enough to get one free pack of chicken rice everyone right???...and i think this will make the very poor happy...one less meal to worry...then those whose do not want the chicken can don't collect and the uncollected distributed to the poor....so they have more meals which they do not need to worry !!!!

[Seaweed]

no need to give but at least don't take somemore right ????

I frankly can't even be bothered about the chicken rice. Chicken rice is high in saturated fat, further it gives me upset stomach. I'll willingly give up my family's share of chicken rice then.

 

Just cut GST, and cut petrol tax. Don't need subsidies.

[Sonicmood]

we have million $$ gahman pple to tell us not to expect any subsidies...

we are not working hard enough but need to drive ourselves harder & sooner to our grave...

used Europe as an e.g of a dying economy...but europe is so far ahead of us in both technology & arts...

 

wat do we have after working our butt off till we meet our maker??..

we got million $$ ministers...

 

[Kenneth_1981]

you can gif up ur citizenship, and come over to my boleh land lah..

[Getzoooom]

Giving subsidies will lead to Singaporean being complacement and stop working hard.

 

Then why give them 21% pay riase? later they stop working hard how??

[Getzoooom]

Few mthsss ago : "Economy no good, cannot restoreed CPF. we must sacrifices to tide over.."

 

few mths later : "Economy freaking good, let's increase our own pay check by 21%.."

 

another few mths later: "Inflation is in, singapore workforce should not expect big pay rise... Our NWC say so.."

 

now : "giving u subsidise also no use.. give u for what.."

Singapore's problem cannot be solved by increasing ministers' salary to match private sectors
