        having an election budget happens in almost every country. it is to be expected


        must be seen to be listening to the constituents and must be seen acting on it, especially during an election year, no doubt about it.

        may be should amend constitution to have an election every 4, instead of 5, years

            From your knowledge, ppl in those countries also hv nice sounding names
            for these budgets such as \"Grow n Share\", \"Progress\" arnot
            or they just call it pork barrel politics? :lol: :evil:
            Alamak, macam like dogs wagging tails in delight when thrown pieces of scraps.
            Temporary satisfaction n relief in between waiting for more handouts?

              As for shaking hands and showing their faces, that one no need lah.


              Oh that, I always missed their handshakes.
              I usually only heard from neighbours about those visits after it was over :lol:

              My main door is always closed...knock and knock also no use...unless like what you mention 'FIRE'. HaHaHa.
              Now lift upgrading going on, how to open the door ? Very dirty and dusty...I have to put a piece of cloth at the door to prevent dirt from coming in.

                in 2011 budget, but nearly half r one –off.

                Of these, only about ¼ r cash payouts .
                D rest? Goes to Workfare, Medisave, CPF Special A/C etc -
                essentially stays in d gahmen's coffers n
                $ u will likely never see n many don’t benefit directly from anyway.

                I am not moved.
                Yes, too many one-off items.
                the Child Dev credit (below 6) does not address e longer term issue of increasing costs of raising children in S'pore....

                    Might as well not give d $300 - $400 per child if d idea is to
                    encourage more babies. Right arnot?
                    How many tins of formula milk can one buy for $300 - $400? :roll:

                    This is not sufficient n I trust dat d issue of encouraging more births
                    will be addressed in budget debate in coming week.

                      Having a child is LIFE-LONG.
                      Why are the benefits one-off ?
