Wow, that's quite a link there, ...anon@3:23 PM,<br />Wow, that's quite a link there, thanks!<br />"The statutory tax is very low so if you make a typical income, say $60,000, you will pay less than $2,000 in income tax, less than 3 percent, but then you buy a car that you can keep for maybe 10 years and you pay $70,000 to the government and now your real tax over the 10 years is $9,000 each year, which is 15 percent of your income."<br />So the next time you hear Capitol Hill regulars telling you that Singapore is the way to go, ask yourself if you like the idea of government as omnipresent investor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-37777753491618648102011-08-19T15:23:57.460+08:002011-08-19T15:23:57.460+08:00http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/08/05/column-dc...http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/08/05/column-dcjohnston-singapore-idINN1E7740EP20110805<br /><br />This writer did his homework. It pretty much says it all..<br />Remember the bus apps that was working well but they banned it..becos they want to monetize it all lah. What else is new under this island when you have majority 2/3 PAPpies that suck your blood. It's no coincidence that we have a high density of dengue mosquitoes here you know..the universe has a way of telling signs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-76764143285610316872011-08-19T14:35:57.792+08:002011-08-19T14:35:57.792+08:00The fact that they even privatise the issuance of ...The fact that they even privatise the issuance of a carparking summons already says so much of this blood sucking PAP govt ? How does one not expect LTA or the summons issuing company to make a profit for themselves ? They can't be sending out their officers on the prowl, for free or at a loss, right ? <br /><br />Sunday free parking, the baby of TCB, are now slowly and surely replaced with per minute parking. TCB can rant for all they care. Our PAP govt is not known to be spiteful for nothing. <br /><br />They give you a penny in our GE angpow, but they then they also take back a pound in so many other ways. Otherwise why do you think even 2 cents, they want to increase the public transport fares ?Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-75938425102748937592011-08-19T11:33:55.265+08:002011-08-19T11:33:55.265+08:00I guess car owners are already paying through thei...I guess car owners are already paying through their noses for a COE.
