High tax rates

I prefer a country to have high tax rates, so that the public services can be provided for free or at low cost.

But you have the option to select your doctor and choose how to be treated either in a private or public hospital if you decide to pay either by insurance your company or self.; May 12, 2024 9:41 PM

I asked why the price difference but was told that the price had gone up, the machine was updated to the new price, but the picture was not. They could just put a tape to cover the old price and scroll the new price. Misrepresentation. Businesses are struggling?; May 14, 2024 12:56 PM

Visited the 24 hour clinic.

The atmosphere was relaxing. Searching for car-parks was not hard.

The staff is were humble and the young doctor addressed me as "sir" because I was older than him. Last time mana got such a thing. Off course I was embarresed. A flat fee of $125 pow ka liow.

Next day got text a number to call for anything and it starts with 8 so must be a mobile number. A highly recomended place.; May 16, 2024 8:31 AM

Will the displaying of sgp flags by private in housing blocks become even more potentially botak or the other way around at national day, now that pee am has changed??? Likely remain the same.; May 16, 2024 9:02 PM

Be frugal, save more, and reduce debt.

Before forming an opinion, consider whether you have the knowledge and experience to do so. Generating opinions is easy, which is why there are so many bad ones. The most problematic situation is believing you know something when you actually don't.; May 22, 2024 9:49 AM

Anonymous said...: The maximum fine for workplace safety breaches will be raised from $20,000 to $50,000 from that date, said MOM on May 27.

Is SCDF immunity being granted or are they just finding scapegoats? We are all aware that safety has been compromised in many places due to cost-cutting and taking shortcuts, some due to the need for survival at an affordable price, while others due to greed for obscene profits.; May 28, 2024 8:26 AM

After 8 tries of bidding, have decided to top up $14K for guaranteed COE.

After securing the COE, the car dealer said the model ran out. The next stock would arrive in early October 2024.; June 08, 2024 9:06 AM

Those who think that there is nothing wrong with the procedure, tend to be crooked themselves and would do anything for money.

We must not encourage dishonest people as we have enough of them in this supposedly world-class place and it looks like they keep multiplying.; June 12, 2024 8:38 AM

I received a text message stating that something has been ordered under my UOB card and instructing me to call the hotline if I did not make the purchase. I have been attempting to call for 2 days but have been unsuccessful. Meanwhile, when I tried to make a purchase, my card showed as invalid. I reached out on their platform and was informed that it would take 3 working days. I find it repugnant that the emergency hotline is not staffed, especially considering the significant profits and the fucking salaries the CEOS are getting and their status as a financial hub. Will the ambulance hotline be next? Efficiency my ass. As usual profits above service. If its LKY, he would tell those good-for-nothing to buck up or buck out!!!!!!; June 13, 2024 3:55 PM
