When has any GST hike been well planned?
No one asked for the GST hike but the government hikes anyway, as they don't care about Sinkies opinions.

Yeah the skin is much better. I was surprised when I came into this website thinking it was the wrong forum lol.
As for the mods part, you want moderators to be part of this forum also ah? Must make sure this site doesn't become another EDMW lol.
61-87% of the population are daft and hopeless
Smoothening the increase in GST only makes prices increase even further
I thought our reserves gao gao and last year one of the biggest purchasers of gold, how come need to up GST ?
Why dont they tax foreigners more heavily instead ? So many of them earn SGD but dont even spend in SG !

Well hopefully they have a GE this year when public dissent for the government is at an all-time high thanks to the scandals and SimplyGo, then maybe my GRC can go to WP.

not sure when they will view ground as sweet. My bet is either towards end of year. Or early next year... since no other timing left. Next mid yr? Like too near to ndp 2025

I wish i knew the answer to this lol. I don't even know what the government is thinking.
It's to help the poors
which poors?
those that become poor after the GST was raised.

They planned it well
and didn't care what the people think.

seems like a lot of people say badly planned and more needs to be done to help even middle and lower class
but at the same time will this even translate into lost votes or are sinkies doomed to be boiled frogs?

Half of me thinks that Sinkies are slowly waking up because of PAP losing a GRC in the previous GE.
But the other half thinks that we are hopeless, since majority voted for Ong Lai. I am still hoping that the recent scandals of the PAP will make them lose 1 or 2 more GRCs in the next GE.
It is bloody unnecessary to begin with, all the GLCs are posting profits and those corporations like NTUC all huat ka buay lun chu, why need to raise GST?
knn.
BCM now from 4.50 become 5 dollar

Too bad Sinkie salaries never increase by more than 10%
I think the govt is also worried. If it increase the GST too much that it restricts spending, it won't help at all so they do things gradually.
Cos if GST goes up, the only way this leads to increased revenue is spending remains the same or increase. If people cut spending as a result, the GST collection might remain the same and now businesses suffer from less business

Then it makes sense NOT to increase GST.

When it comes to money, it's all about CENTS instead of sense for them..

Not necessarily if they assume spending habits will remain the same even if GST increases
