As long as keep my cpf safe, build Simi also approve

 

[evildoer]

i don't want they to win .. but i want my nuclear plant..

What's the point when you are so irradiated your urine glows in the dark and you are in agony every waking hour
But hey your CPF is safe right

Nuclear fusion is clean and safe.

It's fission, not fusion, at least in the foreseeable future, although fusion will be even cleaner...but yes, small modular reactors should be quite safe. The fact that the pap is considering them makes me more likely to vote for them, even though i don't like a few of their other policies.

 

[charleslee1989]

Means we give them mandate to do whatever they want

In view of US tax, will also tell you GST need to up to 10% to help livelihood

why stop at 10% only? Might as well quote other countries like the UK who has 20% and follow the UK rate but simply omitted the rest of the lower VAT rated items.

 

[evildoer]

it's cheap too but i don't think the cost save will pass down to us...

think of it we could have 2 plants.. 1 could power our reverse osmosis plants, it need a lot of power. we could be achieved "water" freedom. one of three the essential solve..

Other countries can no longer threaten us cutting our water

 

[Philippng]

He's right!
The GST increase hurt the poor AND the non-poor

how much rice can a rich man eat compare to a poor man.
Yes, rich man may have pay more GST which they can joyly well afford
but to the poor man the daily neccessities which they spend is also spend by the rich man
so by simple mathematic it sure "pain the poor man more the rich"

Per day, Singapore uses 150,000 MWh of energy....1 module highest is 300MW which equals to 7200MWh per day...

You will need 20 modules just to feed Singapore 1 day on fully green power....

Most likely, there will be a mix of different energy sources to serve the nation's needs.

gambled the past and present already, future already no hope, no capital to gamble with liao

 

[skylink67]

Singapore is investing in Small Modular Reactor Technology. It's not even commercially viable at this point and they are giving free money to other countries. You vote for them to give taxpayers money to scammers.

[icebleue]

Weird. They were not introduced formally... straits times also no mention who is who..

 

[skylink67]

His gahmen facilitating gambling with COE prices, NEA hawker stalls bidding, private coffeeshop bidding, BTO balloting.

All these affect someone's future.

 

[TehOPengSiuDai]

Remind me of the gamble video..

1 more time..

LOL

No wonder I found the video so familiar

 

[TehOPengSiuDai]

I only rem Healthy no wear mask

I also leemember “allowing” certain groups of people to send back face masks and Panadol because their own village back home had a shortage, resulting in a shortage for our own people.

 

[Miss.Molly]

Remind me of the casino.
So, how does the casinos help us so far ?

They are paying the taxes that underwrite the CDC vouchers. You think they are funded by personal income tax?

 

[Shinning_Wolf]

What if the ex-CEO of Temasek Holdings ask him to gamble?

 

[lalalalalala]

Sinkie no future gamble what

• WP:
  • Wants more focus on workers' job security, retrenchment protections.
  • More interventionist: redundancy insurance, affordable reskilling, tighter foreign worker policies.

---

4. Political Reforms​

In Short:​

Would you also like a visual summary (like a side-by-side table or a chart) or a more casual breakdown depending on what you're using this for (e.g., discussion, project, debate)?
I can tailor it based on what you need!

What next generation? Sinkies going to extinct with this generation.
