Finally, TV n radio licence fees are removed! Hooray.
It took so....oooo long for d gahmen since d emergence
of d internet age n technological advances to finally throw out
dis farcical fees levied to increase gahmen’s revenue.
One has to ask why it took so long.
IMHO, it can only be an election year goodie to sweeten d ground.
Is increasing FW levies and CPF contribution REALLY beneficial to Singaporeans?
Increasing FW levies drive up the cost of doing business.
Ultimately these cost increases are passed on to the Singapore consumers
while the levies go into gahmen’s coffers. How does this actually help Singaporeans?
Historically, employers reduce salaries and benefits of FWs to counter
increases in levies, which in turn suppress the wages of Singaporeans
seeking employment in the same line of work.
The ‘restoring’ of employer’s CPF contribution by another 0.5%
goes into d Special Account, not d Ordinary Account (as was previously bf d reduction).
Money in d Special Account is almost untouchable, and d draw down age will eventually extended to 67?
Employees will take home less pay when the CPF ceiling is raised to $5K.
How does this help in a rising inflation environment for the average Singaporean?
