Post no. 308
Im so busy at work that im starting to feel im inefficient again.
Between 8am - 8pm today, i didnt have a single moment of isolation... In fact, i have an endless stream of people pestering me to meet deadlines...
Yes, deadline. Not dateline. Nevertheless, i digress.
Back to the blogging proper.
In my previous post, i said im never going to blog on political issues again because its never going to get me anywhere... well, i lied.
Let me do everyone a favour by speaking the truth..
These truths came directly from the kopitiam uncle selling kopi below my flat... and since the kopitiam uncle knows just about next to nothing, he must have heard it from a reliable source...and as of this moment, im not ruling out the possibility of a certain high ranking member of parliament.
1) The 7.1billion difference in the projection of 2007 budget (-0.7billion deficit vs 6.4 billion surplus
In 2006, in an attempt to make the good people of Singapore believe that the govt is a worthy and caring one... the govt decided to give budget surplus to the general public.
By 2007, it become apparent that the govt didnt give enough. In fact, every time a minister made a statement like
i ) the poor stands to offset up to 20% of their monthly expenses...
ii) most applicants can get up to 80K in subsidies for flat application..
the govt really is focusing on about 0.0000000063626362510300302182 % of the population.
Lets be frank... did u or any of ur friends fall into the above category? Naaa....
2) Budget Debate.
I asked kopitiam uncle if hes aware of the ongoing budget debate.... his candid reply was..
'AH BOY, dont be silly. They talk and talk but nothing ever gets changed or overrued. UNCLE here knows the meaning of debate hor! Every thing that the F minister says will be passed and are already casted in stone..'
oh well...i guess the kopitiam uncle does know a thing or two..
Regards
Ah Boy.
p/s : F minister refers to 'Finance' minister.
