Wow! Nice poll results. Ever since the implementation of the increase in the Goods & Services Tax (GST), Singaporeans have expressed discontent and utmost burden and rage over the Intenet. Many have expressed views of dissatisfactions and opinions of the increase, but mostly targeted at the government of Singapore. Even the world's famous Yahoo! site has a poll that evidents Singaporean's view of the increased GST (Give Singaporeans Trouble).
sgForums, one of Singapore's famous forums have tons of unhappy views about the increase. The thread is shown below and replies were stretched up to more than 20 pages!
GST to be raised to 7%Our dear friend xialanxue has also been sarcastic over this incident.
Check it out:
http://xialanxue.blogspot.com/2006/11/gst-to-be-increased-to-7-to-help-poor.htmlI'm not against anyone but just the mentality behind this increase. Are we going to sit back and complain instead of doing something to our lives? It seems that half of our lives as Singaporeans are spent complaining and whining about things turn bad. I have to agree that it's not our fault. But since some of us are destined to be staying in this miserable island for quite some time, why don't we do something to our lives by constantly upgrading ourselves at the same time adapting to changes? It's hard to live like this but it's going to be the same overseas. I personally feel that if one doesn't have the correct attitude to improving oneself, a little bit of change is going to affect that person. So, in this fast-paced society, if you're not going to accept changes be it good or bad, you will become obsolete.
Don't let the elites laugh at us. We have to adapt and be strong. There's no one to prove, but the enemy is just within ourselves.
