No price for guessing, we all know what they are doing. Trying to sweep Palmer/LO under the carpet.

 

Or, Unless...unless....LO come out declaring "i am carrying RB baby".

We don't know who will be said to be responsible, but we know who will be said to be NOT responsible.

Saw a Mr Yaw-look-alike at Bukit Panjang Plaza this afternoon, is he already back?

[Damienic]

Just happen to be someone who look like him ba? Dun think the media would be so quiet if he is back. They will hound on him if they could.

yes. they did alot. Though i don't like every policy made by LKY, but I'm sure no one can do it any better or different from what LKY did. No one is perfect anyway. Mistakes were made.

 

But this modern PAP? tsk tsk tsk...... nothing done by them can be comparable to what LKY did. The more they try to do, the worse it becomes.

 

Take the recent SMRT fare increase. That Teo said it is necessary to improve the service. My question (and everyone's same question) is "WHAT SERVICE?" What service had been provided or any improvement of service in the past? We only get MRT breakdowns and shortage of buses. What service is he talking about??

 

If they want to recoup back losses, go get it from the ex-CEO who had been given millions $$ as bonuses before she got kicked out. They gave to her and now they want to take from us???!!

 

Yes, I do agreed with you, not all policy are popular with the citizens, that's how the world is, you can't please everybody.

 

yah man, "public" transportation service provider made so much $$$ but can't afford to buy their own buses, improve maintenance & service quality, increase bus driver pay..... have to transfer all these cost to the consumers who have no other "public" transportation service provider to turn to

I share your observations (about the budget), but was wondering what incentives is there for him to call for the election before Budget 2013? How does that help him and the team? Maybe delaying the by election would be a better option for them instead of holding it early. Many people are still angry over some fresh issues that came up recently, for e.g the announcement of bus fare hikes.

 

It seems that the grounds had to be sweeten for the BE soon, the signs are already here. Perhaps i was right in my assumptions afterall, they might really be going ahead with the BE before Budget 2013, or at least within Q1 2013.

800,000 HDB households to receive S$90m worth of U-Save vouchers

Posted: 31 December 2012 1101 hrs

 

SINGAPORE: About 800,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive S$90 million worth of GST Voucher - Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebates in January 2013.

 

An eligible Singaporean household can receive one U-Save voucher of up to S$130 depending on their HDB flat type.

 

There is no sign-up required for the rebates, and utilities charges of households will be offset directly.

 

The voucher is paid out in January and July each year.

 

Those living in one to two-room HDB flats can offset about three to four months of utilities bills on average with their voucher. Those living in three to four-room HDB flats can offset up to two months of utilities bills on average.

 

The voucher is a household benefit under the permanent GST Voucher scheme. It was introduced in Budget 2012 to provide continuing assurance that lower-income Singaporeans benefit from the fiscal system.

 

Taking into account the other components of the GST Voucher, which include the GST Voucher - Cash and Medisave, Singaporean lower-income and retiree households would have received a significant offset for their GST expenses this year.

 

Middle-income families would also have received a GST Voucher that will partially offset their GST expenses.

Electricity tariffs to be lowered

Posted: 31 December 2012 1133 hrs

 

SINGAPORE: Electricity tariffs will be reduced by an average 3.7 per cent from January to March 2013.

 

SP Services attributed the reduction to lower costs of electricity generation, largely due to lower fuel prices compared to the previous quarter.

 

Non-fuel costs of power generation have also been adjusted.

 

The average monthly electricity bill for families living in four-room HDB flats will go down by S$3.83.

 

Tariffs were also reduced by 2.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of this year and 2.5 per cent in the third quarter.
