A 1.5 minute Video explaining Raising GST without Transparency, Checks and Balances.
Is this a new collegial leadership and partnership with citizens?
The reality is all Singaporeans share the responsibility as all of us pay GST, whether it is 7% or 9%, rich or poor. This is a kind of fair and equality that the PAP wants to show to the world.
You make your own judgement. A million dollar minister is paying the same, universal, tax rate as a cleaner in Changi Airport. A peanut or a cup of coffee or a lunch!
Sharing responsibility, sharing tax burdens, sharing failures are the new 4G style. What they never say is sharing their salary or adjusting their pay.
This is the new way of ‘partnership with citizens’. The PAP is not looking for common prosperity. They are still trying to make the rich richer by saying that the rich consume more and pay more GST.
GST is a complicated issue and it cannot be explained in less than 2 minute. It needs to be fully debated, transparency and checks and balances. This is called engagement and partnership with citizens.
