KNN!! limpeh was channel surfing on friday nite and chanced upon mediacock reporting how peasants r grateful for the u-save vouchers, especially the lower social strata. nb, if zheng hu really want to help them, give them 25% discount on utility bills and conservancy charges instead of fixed amount vouchers. zheng hu give them fixed amount rebate in an inflationary environment doesnt compensate the reduced purchasing power of a family resulting from an increased gst rate. zheng hu give 25% discount and this is what welfare economics called 100% welfare transfer. u smelly peasants really r kumgong until limpeh bo words.

Poopies will suck u on your assets tax & income tax. etc! So 1 way or another, U cant escape from contributing to their coffers! I have 0 faith in 4G poopies! So i'm exiting SG (98%)! My message is " i wont support & i will not (minimise) contribution to their scheme of things"! I lost the Unvax & CPF battle, but i wont loose the war!
