Not everyone who uses a credit card is going to max out his card limit and run into debts. Retired seniors can be, and I believe are mostly responsible people who are probably more savvy than the younger set.

If you make a mistake, it is ok since there are risks involved in any investment. We must not hide the mistake and therefore take no action in case we are found out.

I find Ang Mo Kio Town Council 100% liable for the damages caused by falling rotten tree.

Is Dr Tony Tan principally responsible for GIC's S$10 billion UBS investment loss (paper) this year?

My pt is simply:
Goods and Services Tax (GST) as the name goes should primarily be classified as a consumption tax.

PM Lee: I am the government.

PM Lee (implied): "Citizens are like civil servants, they serve the government under "non-political" PAP-PA MP/ MP-wannabe advisers to grassroots."

Does SG Govt waste public time, money on dirty tricks trying sullying the name of opposition MPs?

Statutory boards attempt land grab at opposition constituencies [link][STpict] to dispossess opposition MP run town councils of properties.
Waste public monies and parliamentary time on fragmented, inefficient or even absent ground maintenance programmes and the resultant agitation of opposition parliamentarians to complain due to PAP conspiracies to sully the reputation of opposition run town councils (through the deliberate absence of ground ownership demarcations through the deliberate grab and then neglect of land in opposition constituencies).

Since when buy/ sell property must pay GST?

B.C. thinks that very soon, those who want to withdraw their bank monies/ CPF/ claim insurance monies would soon have to pay GST on the amount claimed/ withdrawn.
It seems that SG govt intends to impose GST tax on 'capital' from now on?
