Car are for above middle and high income families. If you can't afford the raise in petrol prices, take a taxi or train. it is cheaper then owning a car

seem like only way to make u all happy is to distribute all the country money away for fun

Surely not voting for the PAP no more!

Tharman: Raise personal income tax of top income earners

~~~

Do Politicians pay income tax?

Jason, the rich buys expensive stuff NOT on a daily basis but the poor family on the street has to pay GST every moment of the day when he/she needs to buy food to eat.

Just gotta give it to the government. You have all the scholar statisticians working for you. You have the perfect mathematical formula! Well done!

Our philosophy is to keep the burden of the middle-income low - by taxing more on petrol? raising petrol duties means the public transportations companies will say they have a lower profit margin, which leads to PTC increasing public transport prices

GST is a form of tax. Higher the spending, the more GST paid by the wealthy

I pay both! I'm punished for being a Singaporean.

Please stop your speech and go home, sickening to hear your plans.

but the rich are able to buy expensive items which contribute alot to gst. poor ppl buy small items that gst charge in cents

Jason, in Singapore GST is an indirect tax for EVERYONE!!

Jason, GST in Singapore, doesn't only charge the rich. It charges EVERYONE living in Singapore on their basic needs.

road tax is only few hundred a year and u giveonly 20% off yet increase petrol.. well done maths

GST is to charge the rich for the poor in the first case. so rich guy dun complain pls
