Is Government giving Money back to People from 2007 Budget surplus?

[calvinlo]

I remember about 2 months back the goverment said that there is a sulpus from last year's budget, and they are intending to 'return' some of these money to the people.

Any idea when this will happen?

Ah so it's a combined payout of (GST rebates) + (Growth dividends). Sounds good. But on the other hand, what are they going to increase next after the handouts are given ?

Yah...worst still, I heard in a few years time they will install GPS on every car so that you pay according to the number of Kilometers you clock on the road.

If that is the case, i rather not have these one time perks. I rather they don't increase the prices of things. Everythings gone up in the last month. Now it's like every month, they would be finding excuses to increase things.

Last week was rice, next month it will be ERP, i seriously won't be surprised if mrt and bus would be next since they are considering incentives for giving up your car. The only thing not going up is the paycheck. (I need a vomit blood icon.)

Well, i think every singaporean can clearly see what is happening, sad thing is to see that the welfare of peasants are placed at the bottom of the list, and profits come first. Somehow i have this feeling that they forgotten who placed them there in the first place.

Well, in 2010, when it's time to do something about it, make it count ! No point complaining then do nothing about it.
