Humans' greed can never be satisfied, we just have insatiable appetites for a better and "fair" life. When we receive the GST Offset package, did anyone complain "Wah kao, why must give us money???". We would gladly just pocket the money and zip our mouth. This is human nature, gotta live with it. 
relentless pursuit for perfection;
thats taking a toil
in my health. Somebody said they saw you,
the person you were kissing wasn't me.
And i will never ask you;
I just kept it to myself.
I dont wanna know;
if you playing me, keep it all a low.
Cause my heart can't take it anymore.
What do i do to make you love me
What do i do to make you care
What do i do to make you want me
Its sad, Its so sad,
Its a sad sad situation |

If you compare to other countries, HK and Singapore tax rate relatively low liao lo. Other countries their tax are like so horrible that 1/5 of your salary goes to govt. (not CPF hor..is income tax) Isn't that worst? |

to fall in love is always easy
to start a relationship is always simple
to build it, is always tough
to maintain it, is 'better said than done'
to break off, is 'easier said than done'
to remain friends after u broke off, is never possible
to forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'
to heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple
but one has to try to heal your own heart...

Total SGC$: 1,089.26 | Re: IS OUR GOVT GD? When I first read your title, I thought it was another complain thread. (like those in other rubbish forum) I was wrong.
Indeed, one of my life's biggest blessing is to live in this country. With recent crime rate in M'sia, you cant help but felt blessed and safe here. 2 days ago, the police issue a stern warning to all passagers who dares to bash bus drivers. That shows they does not tolerate violence here.
I guess if we complain about the rise in prices and cost of living, we muz also remember that it happens everywhere. its the law of finance. You pay what you get.
Lastly, i recommend every young sgean to read up on Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, our founding father. You will then understand how Singapore can become what it is today.
