SOME of all Fears

GST Hike to help lower income family right?
Well... actually, "not all the extra funds" will be used for this "welfare schemes", only SOME.

Mr Goh said he does not know how much more will be unlocked, but stressed that not all the extra funds will be channelled into social programmes. It will be used to invest in education, research and development projects and other areas that would create wealth for the nation.
- Govt hasn't decided if GST hike will be in phases


Wealth of nation? Yes... that's like saying wealth of world? At least Make Poverty History has a website which tells you more and, yer know, some form of transparency. Maybe the PMO will branch out with a division called National Wealth division and it will be at www.wealthofournation.org.sg beacuse our treasury department is just not enough...

But obscruity has never been my strong point...
