Least we forget

Let us recap what happened after the 2006 elections.

1) Public transport hike

2) GST increase by 2% (disguised as money to help the poor)

3) Continue stagnation/regrassion of pay for the lower/middle income households (even if they have an increase, the average Singaporean's pay didn't increase enough to cover all the other increases)

Nice to know that everything is going up except the take home pay of the average Singaporean. So the amount of money you'll have to spend on necessities goes up but you pay either didn't go up as much or is the same or even worse decreased.

And to add injury to insult

4) Increase in ministers pay by $1 million

Need I say more and about how "caring/ compassionate" the budget is.

Furthermore, Ministers get pensions too.

So our not only have money that they can never finish using but also are set for life, while most of us have to plan for retirement.
