The issue is everybody including children, retirees, housewives, tourists, foreigners living here pay GST.

But not everyone pays income tax so it could mean a much bigger jump in income tax rates.

I strongly recommend they do their math and be prepared to explain how to balance the budget.

If not once they tio attacked they will look silly and amateurish then ownself chibaboom.
In b4 raid the reserves.

When asked what would happen to the master plan should the town council change hands in the upcoming election, Josephine Teo, Member of Parliament and anchor minister for Jalan Besar GRC, acknowledged that a change in the constituency’s incumbent party is possible and that the team would “respect the residents’ choices”.

But “the question of whether they are familiar enough with the town, the question of whether they know what our residents want, will certainly be something to keep in mind”, she said.

Teo added that she hopes that the residents will allow the team the opportunity “to bring these plans into fruition on their behalf”. #MothershipGE2025

Now got so many this and that plan... Election season

We still have more than enough with the GST reduced.
Dun forget that we have a bloated population.
Just cancel some necessary spending like some stone.
First cancel unnecessary spend eg building lot of useless mrt covers for places where nobody r affected
And stop changing still working well white street light every 3-5 yr , wasting my $$

I think there are a lot of cost cutting measures that can be done in their spending.
No one is really looking into it.
They are still spending like nobody business.

Yes, that's why WP is the most successful opposition in Singapore.

I doubt that psp can mirror WP.
In most westminster systems, it's typically 2 dominant parties.

The 3rd party will rarely win any elections. And lets face it, coalition govts NEVER work out.
