The income gap between PAP and the poor is getting bigger. The Member of parliament allowance per mth is around $16 000 you can google yourself). The poor say around $ 1500. The gap is 10 times per mth. Not to mention if the MP have FT job else where. The ministers ? The PM ? Its tough. We are talking about public service over here. Some will say well you need to pay them well to run Singapore efficiently. Then how about national service men doing FT service. Back in the 1990s we are given $200 plus per mth making sacrificial services. Govt need to think hard what it can offer Singaporean. Voters dont vote govt to tax us. We are all on the same vote. Everyday the lower income have to worry about the bills etc. The govt ? Guess their income is high enough to worry sbout these daily struggle. Habe govt ever need to budget to habe 1 meal a day ? There is no free lunch in this world. There is no free vote too.

It’s ironic how SG annual financial planning is still called Budget, when we’re forced to spend more every year with rising costs of living

If our Govt has heart for Singaporean, Help us middle class Singaporean. As we know that with the current situation, the middle class Singaporean is the one that got hit the hardest in terms of living. Basing on the status of living in Singapore, the poor still get support from other govt agency and the rich they can sustain with their wealth. The middle class are the one who gets nothing and yet need to pay full price for everything dam things in Singapore. Has the Govt not think or look into this? Or are they just go blind and not wanting to look into it?
So LW, wake up and look into it in all areas and not see only one sided.
