Personally, I feel that the writer has completely missed the point of the recent cooling measures implemented by the Government. Policies rarely benefit everyone across the board and there will always be people who suffer from such a policy change. In this circumstance, the Government has to keep in mind that the average Singaporean (unlike Mr. Tan) has to struggle with rising property prices, which has been driving up the cost of living in Singapore.

Not necessary... it is like you have outstanding housing debts that is maturing, you can take new loans to repay your existing maturing debts without having to increase your overall debt burden.. You merely "extended" the duration of your existing maturing debts by "rolling" them over to another new debt..

Better salary benchmarks, more productive use of general elections.

As for the rest, they are still million dollar minister. But the basis for their bonus looks interesting as it will be based on four measures: GDP growth, unemployment rate, real growth in median incomes and real growth in the incomes of the bottom 20 per cent of wage earners.
How to determine real growth?

Re: ECB/IMF announcement of Greek bondholders haircut- what is holding them back?
Yawn. And after this, let's just let Italy default, Spain default. And while we're at this, Ireland as well. And maybe, the US will than choose to default on the debts as well, so the world is square.
Its so convenient for people to keep saying cut this cut that and reduce debt and increase revenue. Only that in a country that has no economic growth, no government to spur growth, where got taxes huh?

Cool, thanks. Though it's not exactly "reasoning", it's just facts; relativism is for philosophy students.
