It's funny.... there was once that I brought the kids for enrichment lessons at katong area. It was raining and we only have WP umbrella in the car.... I got stares and felt kind of conscious....

Which part of Katong? Mountbatten SMC, Marine Parade GRC or Joo Chiat SMC?

Hope no fees increase afterwards though.

Transport cost (e.g. MRT and bus fares) will go up before this year ends. So the best you can hope for is a small increase.[/quote]If transportation company de-privatized (anyway the govt is paying for new buses), which means that no need to earn profit, would the current profit earning be enough to cover the increase in the drivers' salary? Anybody can roughly calculate?

hubby and i were discussing, think it's interesting that Wp appeals to such a wide segment. new faces include lawyers, Nus sociology prof Dan goh, and the rally audience includes such folk as well as the common man on the street. pretty admirable.

Yes, their ability to attract new talents is quite admirable.

Personally, they used to portray WP supporters as those less educated, middle age, chinese educated, etc... but if you attend the rally, you will observed that this is not true. There are alot of young people, professionals, etc... these days.

Another that LTK mentioned last night (which dh has always been saying to me) is also those gas company. With privatisation, the govt will no longer have control if the private sector wants to increase the charges, etc... maybe these are some of the critical areas that should not be privatise in the first place ?

JC SMC could also be absorbed into one of the neighbouring GRCs. So its too premature to be forecasting now. Maybe you get stared because the WP umbrella is unique in some ways?

Maybe next month either gst or 1m more people help to pay you choose.

No leh, 1M more FTs come also no use. Logically suppose to be decrease, but it is reverse formula.

Wait absorb into the wrong GRC and the whole GRC goes Aljunied how? Joo Chiat can only go Marine Parade, Aljunied or East Coast. :slapshead:
