you totally missed the point. their problem is not even that they overspent. it appears that they failed to budget (or cannot be bothered to budget) for these expenses. if really money not enough, don't spend on the unnecessary. most of these expenses should have been forecasted and many could have been avoided by appealing to volunteers, donors before the election and not anyhow spend thinking can always ask for donations from smitten fans later.
look through their expense list, got chope tissue some more. posters and banners i thought nsp put up themselves?
and begging for money via facebook and appealing to the naive "fans" AFTER the election really makes one wonder if they are really that serious about serving singaporeans in the first place. want to gamble on getting $15K/mth MP allowance but expecting singaporeans to pay for all their miscellaneous expenses?
the actress supposedly so sad and cry about the poor over a couple of hundred dollars and has no shame in asking for well over $35,000 NOT for helping the poor but to cover all the misc expenses of these young professionals who think running for election is an all expenses paid jaunt.
think if these wannabe politicians are so poor that they cannot even afford to fork out a small sum of money for their own compaign, its better they spent their youth working to support themselves before even professing to help others. but most working professionals would have no problems paying for these expenses themselves so is this a case of them expecting singaporeans to foot all their bills?
money does not grow on tress and for them to spend well over $35K AND expect others to pay for all their expenses is really too much. this money can go a long way to helping the poor residents they profess to want to serve.
and worst, can also use personal bank account to seek donations from the public
instead of saying show me the money, they should put their own money where their mouth is.
