Fantastic! Marvellous!. Mr. Leong, your argument is so convincing, logical and accurate. Hopefully you will be the Next VVIP in the next GE. THANK YOU.
I appreciate Mr Leong for his honest inquiry to spendings/statistical figures from Gov. It is this counter checking n inquiry that make Singapore better. It is just common sense ~ if u want tax amount, u just need to squeeze the biggest segment and that would be the middle income. Whether is over stretched or not = only the common people knows. Statistics can be manipulated n comparison to other countries is silly, because they do not represent Singapore middle income.
They want to smoke the common people, how can compare with other country, each country have different policies and circumstance....comparing apple and orange again, yes both are fruits but still they are different, have different attributes although same category.
@@WalterKluwers Yes, that’s right ~ opposition should just mention if we start comparing income tax rates of different countries; we should also start comparing car prices of other countries.
He call outright falsehood, I agree with Leong Mun Wai. He is literally the only MP now addressing the middle class issues. Our taxation in the form of the slew of stamp duty, GST. I don't even eat out these days because of the sheer cost it imposes. Boils down just cut cost. You can call the statement falsehood, anyone who read that title on the Straits Times nodding away at how ridiculous the taxes imposed on the middle class are.
If they only gone through Urban Poverty instead of sitting on ivory tower & commenting we are paying low tax as compared with other countries. Why need to compare to other countries when we do not have natural resources & yet we got 1 of the highest paid cabinet ministers in the entire world. Makes me wonder is our life getting better or worst. CPF ordinary account interest rate did not revise for past 20 over yrs till when it was debated. Just act blurr like nothing happen. OMG. HDB system is not perfect. If not perfect makes it perfect when paid million $$$. If our education system derived fr lousy school then get the right person to make it world best institution. Needless to say Action speaks louder than words
@@derrickang3840 they say our taxation is low, honestly speaking at the rate they are going, we are already at Australia's level. Number wise we are not even lower anymore. Our stocks say single tax, other country got franking credit for small time shareholder. Direct Number we are same, real number when count we are paying more.
Low fertility rate is the result of high cost of living. Cannot just based on percentage taxed. GST is a tax paid by all. The higher your expenses, the more tax you pay. This applies to middle income family with young children.
hmmm, let me state my 2 cents. i am a married singaporean chinese household. Dont mind my nickname, anyhow create one. i dont side PAP nor side the opposition. Even in elections, i vote opposition not because i support them, but just wanna give them a fighting chance at least to get back their deposits haha. Jokes aside, lets go back to topic. In regards to middle income tax. I am married with 2 young kids, have a maid. We fall under the middle income group, household income just slightly above the median income of SG. talking about tax, i dont need to pay income tax, because i get tax relief from including my retired parents, my NS liabilities etc. So i dont need pay income tax. For my wife, i transferred to her the parenthood tax rebate and cant remember what else in regards to parenthood, she also dont need pay income tax. For property tax, my 5 room resale hdb..about $100 to $145 per year depending. Maid levy i think its $60 per month. As i say i not siding anyone, just speaking the truth, talking about tax for me married with kids. I pay minimal to be honest. As i mention my household earns higher than the current median income of SG, above 10k per month combined for sure. With all the tax reliefs i get and benefits of having children, i pay minimal. So....i am not sure why lotsa Singaporeans are whining about in terms of middle in come tax? The facts do speak out. See the statistics rather than hearsay and just because its online, lotsa people like to keep saying SG is expensive bla bla. Yes u cant control external factors like imported food cost, oil cost, electricity cost, we have to earn a living on our own to pay for it. The govt dont owes us a living, we do. Take responsibility in our lives to earn our keep, not whine or bitch about it and blame the govt. As i say earlier, i even voted for opposition just because i want to give them a fair chance, but no doubt, i am thankful for the PAP for their just and commitment to Singapore to improve our economy. We are so much better off than other countries, but we still have whiney Singaporeans bitching about. I really wonder is it just plain biaseness haha..
Yes, personal tax is lower than European countries but he haven't includes the rest like COE, ERP, property tax, road tax, stamp duties, etc and not to mention world highest car and property prices

LW is full of nonsense. Budget spending for 2023 is 123 billions dollars. The percentage and amount increase is so large. Last time 80 billions now 123 billion dollars, it is 50% increase. Inflation before and after covid-19 cannot be 50%. Where did the money go?
there are alot of "hidden" and indirect taxes in Singapore in guise of "admin fees" and "charges". Not forgetting "opportunity cost" like National Service is also a form of tax.
In fact I explained this to someone I know who who wanted to to migrate to Singapore . The actual overall tax with hidden taxes in Singapore is actually much higher than u think.

Fully agree with your statement. Despite the claims from PAP that income tax is very low, the indirect taxes and charges weigh more when we spend on food, utilities, tertiary education, maid/worker levies, parking, car ownership and housing costs. The idiots keep thinking that SGs are equally naive and unthinking. Won't be surprise if the portion of taxes and governmental charges reach a 60% mark for every dollar spent.
@@yingyang2405 u are already paying hidden tax called cpf that already amounts to 37%. The moment u buy something like hdb and car there already lot of hidden taxes in them
Hope PSP gain 1 GRC in the next election. We need MPs like LMW to speak for Singaporeans. Our govt is elected by Singaporeans, not PRs and foreigners. Their purpose here is to add to the supply of our manpower that we are lacking, not sharing our resources or taking advantage of our properties. They have to pay premium. Unless they convert to become Singaporean, then we are equal.
Why is housing flat so expensive? You don't need to answer to opposition parties but need to answer to Singaporeans. You have not answer the question and no answer from opposition party yet. If like that, to and fro, fro and to and we got no answer.
Whats new? When faced with real tough questions from opposition party in Parliament, PAP fails to answer them categorically. In this instance, Lawrence Wong even responded with a snide remark.
Look at LW face can still laughing when middle class is suffering. He thought he had scored a point against opposition. Disgusting..... arrogance we saw now gov.... Behave like a pack of wolves ....laugh all you can ....I parliament we talk about seriousness issues you can treat it so light ly.....
This is the most Rediculous Outrageous explanation put up by the future PM. We are in for big trouble. The majority of people of Singapore is paying the price for been a develop country except the PAP because they are the free rider on the people of Singapore. They are paid with humongous amount of money. By making false claims and denying wrong doing. Using the changes of the law to deal with the opposition party seem to be the right way of political path. We are living at the time, where we are living with the rule of law. But here they are controlling the law to suit themselves.
Part of HDB price was hidden from the people in the form of workers levy. As much as $950 per worker per month levied on each and every construction worker!
At the end of the day, the goals and objective of the HDB is to provide mass and general public service goods. Having all these kind of artificially levies will not only increase artificially increase the cost of financial pressure on each and every next generation Singaporean. But also make life a lot more unsustainable in the long run - we will not only end up with more society problems that the government will have to face, but in turn create other more societal issues. We need to ask ourselves how does all these worker levies helps to "regulate" the number of foreigners working in Singapore - when all these jobs are done and carried out by foreigners because we don't have sufficient people to do these jobs in the first place.
Why impose workers levy when Singaporeans are not keen with construction jobs. With levy, the cost of construction will be paid by HDB buyers!! The government collected the levy.. and obviously these are paid for by buyers
I feel LMW now. The questions he put forward are and were what singaporeans want to hear in video. All the pap does is to do things like they are hearing and testifying in court. PSP boss i respect you 🫡
Singaporeans do not only pay income tax but there are taxes on tax. Singaporeans salary has not kept pace with the way this Government has increased cost of BTO flats. Your reply DPM are just motherhood statements. Raid on reserves ? The reserves were accumulated from this generation and this generation should derive some benefits albeit in housing costs. Explaining away saying inflationary increases is side stepping the issues faced by young Singaporeans
He was formerly a top gun in GIC..so he knows numbers and figures and how it works where DPM Wong may not have a in depth knowledge , but rather depend on his junior ministers and perm secs input and compilation of figures and expenditures.
Invisible non proportional indirect taxes like, utilities taxes, fuel taxes, NS is a tax on on the boy and families, land cost taxes, high rentals is like a tax due to monopolistic supply of rents, etc...10% income direct tax is just a subset of the overall tax on the middle income. Its substance over form.
To be honest, PAP has nothing left to offer Singaporeans other than steady incline high cost of living and little to no increase in wages and more competition from unecessary foreign talents. Im in the PMET group and sick of having entitled CECA beneficiaries come in and treat Sgporeans like we are the foreigners, and blocking Local talents from progressing in the work place. Worst part is when they brag about their plans to retire with the money they got here while we have this stupid steady increasing minimum sum. Whats the meaning to a middle income sandwiched Singaporeans life nowadays if this is what it is.
Including Pinoys who form the 2nd largest bulk of foreigners in Singapore's IT industry, and probably the most hated bunch of foreigners even Malaysians are easier to work with. Sadly most Singaporeans are behaving more like Pinoys at most workplaces today. Totally fucked up.
If govt protect u from FT, then they will compete with the country from elsewhere and singapore will go down, so say the great LKY. Key question is why they are taking the higher level jobs? It is not happening in taiwan, what wrong with singapore education and worker development
Stay strong and please continue wack the shit out of pap. Even you cant influence or change policies please continue to tekkan them and make them work hard for their millions
Once again, PAP minister is using policies of overseas nations as supporting examples for its new or amending policies. Why, why do we lack the backbone to make out own SG decision, and must piggy back on others or their bandwagon? Only if we have lost our plot aka marble.
Well I guess thIs is what we are getting from PAP after Lau Goh had recommended n party had elected the USELESS LHL to rule the nation. Field results have proven.
political theatrics. in the end, nothing will be done. I didn't bother to wait for the political scene to change but I chose to emigrate to Australia. Singapore is no longer my homeland.
狐狸尾巴露出来了。The fox tail is showing. "What Mr said is an outright falsehood." This statement will in no time be taken back by Lawrence Wong. SGs just have to calculate : the utilities tariffs -- water borne fee & electricity tariffs road tax ERP GST COE Vehicle import tax (150% of vehicle value) excise tax stamp duty development charge property tax income tax Can the DPM clarify what falsehood has LMW claimed?
PSP is Excellent in Parliament just because U are majority does not necessarily mean U are good pap party is a party that hv lost their cutting edge n try to bluff d masses
Now we can see who is really and obviously "outright lying" with no answers given with all these questions? Would be nice to see all these questions are non evasively and properly answered.
BTO flats prices are very high. Compared to the price I paid, $50k and the selling price today $700k!! Price has increased by $650k. Yes. Salary today is much higher. But not 10 times higher!
Middle class is suffering in Singapore. The best way is quantify this suffering is lowering of birth rate. Most mothers feel that they dont have enough resources to take care of kids. The best way is not to have kids.
Why compare other countries and keep saying oppo not paying attention ? I think pap MPs,n ministers,not paying attention,on Singaporeans and cost of living
Sorry, I have a question on DPM answer of he compare the tax with 'other countries', which are the countries usually he compared with? This video I do not hear he mention any country, does any one know?
Singapore under the pap has seen 9% gst, 30% water and electricity taxes, 2-3 casinos and a ton of Foreigners. Its time for singaporeans to wake up and it's time for the pap to get kicked out! Its time to kick out the pap.
Foreigners have always been an integral part of Singapore though and has helped to expand the economy. If we kick out the foreign talent, we will not have any cheap labour and cost of living will also exponentially rise. Overseas companies will also leave as they will have no incentive to set up office here- SG got nothing to offer one in the end. The idea that PSP promotes seems very attractive to many Singaporeans who want to blame foreigners for taking their jobs, but in reality if we practice such policies Singapore will be ruined.
Yes,we need to kick out all the foreigners and MNC out and only promote and work in SMC or local boss. If China and North Korea can survive,I don't see why Singapore can't. Also make sure all trades or positions no matter how high you are,including doctors or lawyers,salaries kept at 8 thousands and minimum wage set at 3 thousand dollars. No more rich or poor divide
I think after Singapore increased its GST from 3-7 %, businesses prices in Singapore market kept increases more that 10%, thereafter when Singapore increases one percent of GST, the businesses increased about 5 percents to 20 percents. So , opposition parties may have been trying to do good intention but may be manipulated by some walks of life for their personal, family and clan gain
Good saying money tracking and spending….. why not reduce the high pay MP’s salary, who/ whom is tracking this spending ? Why not the high pay MP’s pay more tax rather keeping it in a ceiling….
LMW needs to listen, understand and ask more intelligent questions. He is not contributing anything meaningful, and is making PSP look foolish and shallow all the time. Big sigh....
this gst is costing alot of hardship, a 1% gst hike but in reality things outside the hike is in excess of 20%, come 2024 its gonna be another 1% and its going to be another round of hikes!!!
ANSD of 2nd unit us now 17%, third 25% on top of the standard stamp duty. So the Govt keeoo ok S the profits during the Boom n owners take interest rate risk n potential losses. A new BTO 5 RM at AMK is $700k. So who is creating the bubble?
Lawrence Wong want to smoke the common people, how can compare with other country, each country have different policies and circumstance....comparing apple and orange again, yes both are fruits but still they are different, have different attributes although same category.
If this DPM don't have proper response his question . It's always referring to forine menister n country. To me n all of us foriners don't look after our country's reserve. It's this government who's in charge. So please come out with Tru facts n figure.
The pap is just a crippling rock and dumbbell for singaporeans, no longer essential for singaporeans. And the things and money that the pap give back ARE all PEANUTS.
People laugh at LMW but I feels that he is doing a very good job. Not many dare to directly challenge the PAP like this.
He has the courage to highlight the deficiencies of the PAP dominated Govt.
What plan does he have? Taiwan President Candidate Dr Ko said it is not because the monkey climb up the tree that his backside is red but because people can see his backside when he climb up the tree.

I personally wont not want that person as my PM. I don't trust him.
😂👍👏
He is A Puppet Only
@@vincecarlobro u sure bo puppet? more like smiling puppy🐶👈
Ohhh my god. No question is answered.
Stay strong and please continue wack the shit out of pap. Even you cant influence or change policies please continue to tekkan them and make them work hard for their millions
LMW spot on n caught LW off guard..
LMW has minister quality n heart for Singapore citizens. He must be in office for coming election
DPM gets frustrated, in answering LWM, it's parliament setting right? Seems DPM just rattles along..More time shud be given to clarifications...
Leong always argue!! So bad tempered!
Once again, PAP minister is using policies of overseas nations as supporting examples for its new or amending policies. Why, why do we lack the backbone to make out own SG decision, and must piggy back on others or their bandwagon? Only if we have lost our plot aka marble.
Why dint that pap minister go overseas and work there then?
They have NO Vision n All About Hind Sight
They have NO Vision n All About Hind Sight
Well I guess thIs is what we are getting from PAP after Lau Goh had recommended n party had elected the USELESS LHL to rule the nation. Field results have proven.
Superb questions, the hero that Singapore don't deserve! What a wonderful guy!!
political theatrics. in the end, nothing will be done. I didn't bother to wait for the political scene to change but I chose to emigrate to Australia. Singapore is no longer my homeland.
狐狸尾巴露出来了。The fox tail is showing. "What Mr said is an outright falsehood."
This statement will in no time
be taken back by Lawrence Wong.
SGs just have to calculate :
the utilities tariffs -- water borne fee & electricity tariffs
road tax
ERP
GST
COE
Vehicle import tax (150% of vehicle value)
excise tax
stamp duty
development charge
property tax
income tax
Can the DPM clarify what falsehood has LMW claimed?
PSP is Excellent in Parliament just because U are majority does not necessarily mean U are good pap party is a party that hv lost their cutting edge n try to bluff d masses
LMW is clearly a thorn in the eye for PAP well done keep up the good work
Taking it as a "raid on the reserves" is just brushing aside the merits and/or demerits of the PSP Affordable Housing Scheme.
Now we can see who is really and obviously "outright lying" with no answers given with all these questions? Would be nice to see all these questions are non evasively and properly answered.
All taxes to cover Temesek losses
Any stats or proof abt Temasek losses?

Time to Pull the Ostrich head out from the sand to Face Reality
The chair and DPM is on the same page….but did not read or hear the 4 pages of PSP nor read the 4 pages…
Next election one more GRC to the opposition, don’t forget the extra 30% TAX on water even when it rains the whole month non stop
Hi sir, Yes you're correct. Not ONE MORE GRC, it's 2 more GRC to the opposition regardless of WP, NSPor PSP. Thanks.
He ,is From west coast,GRC he lost the by margins I guess
So sad, my salary has not increased since 2017 but my taxes hv. 😢 sigh……
Vote wisely
Put on your thinking cap when you vote next time. Bring in more opposition MPs to query the ruling govt.
BTO flats prices are very high.
Compared to the price I paid, $50k and the selling price today $700k!! Price has increased by $650k.
Yes. Salary today is much higher. But not 10 times higher!
What DPM said was rebutted by Mr Leong was well reasoned.
Middle class is suffering in Singapore. The best way is quantify this suffering is lowering of birth rate. Most mothers feel that they dont have enough resources to take care of kids. The best way is not to have kids.
Why compare other countries and keep saying oppo not paying attention ? I think pap MPs,n ministers,not paying attention,on Singaporeans and cost of living
Keep it up Mr Leong!
That is why I think his brain is brilliant .I respect he is not from a lousy school. Raffles institution students in Singapore I respect most. 🙏
Let Leong Mun Wai to be the PM for Singapore.
Talk easy only.
He is improving
Regrettably the debate as between DPM and Mr Leong was abruptly terminated
Sorry, I have a question on DPM answer of he compare the tax with 'other countries', which are the countries usually he compared with? This video I do not hear he mention any country, does any one know?
Always speak with a lot of temper this Mr Leong! Always Talk Cork he!!!
Mr. Leong, would you please try not to point your finger. Not "categorically reject it" but "deny it"
He is getting better
THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR WILL SUFFER WHY DONT YOPU GUYS TAKE A PAY CUT ON THE INFLATED non deserving salaries youre getting
Singapore under the pap has seen 9% gst, 30% water and electricity taxes, 2-3 casinos and a ton of Foreigners. Its time for singaporeans to wake up and it's time for the pap to get kicked out! Its time to kick out the pap.
Foreigners have always been an integral part of Singapore though and has helped to expand the economy. If we kick out the foreign talent, we will not have any cheap labour and cost of living will also exponentially rise. Overseas companies will also leave as they will have no incentive to set up office here- SG got nothing to offer one in the end. The idea that PSP promotes seems very attractive to many Singaporeans who want to blame foreigners for taking their jobs, but in reality if we practice such policies Singapore will be ruined.
Yes,we need to kick out all the foreigners and MNC out and only promote and work in SMC or local boss.
If China and North Korea can survive,I don't see why Singapore can't.
Also make sure all trades or positions no matter how high you are,including doctors or lawyers,salaries kept at 8 thousands and minimum wage set at 3 thousand dollars.
No more rich or poor divide
We can all see who is really working for Singaporeans and who is working to look good 👍🏻
can the governing party just bring down the cost of living expenses, from food to transport to having a place call my home and our country
Sorry Liang bo bo & pappy wont
I think after Singapore increased its GST from 3-7 %, businesses prices in Singapore market kept increases more that 10%, thereafter when Singapore increases one percent of GST, the businesses increased about 5 percents to 20 percents. So , opposition parties may have been trying to do good intention but may be manipulated by some walks of life for their personal, family and clan gain
Becoming elusive based on my observation
Good saying money tracking and spending….. why not reduce the high pay MP’s salary, who/ whom is tracking this spending ? Why not the high pay MP’s pay more tax rather keeping it in a ceiling….
Wa great he can dun answer at all 😂
These PAP never answer any questions thats posted by LMW, why is like that???
👏
Good one Mr Leong , what a smack on the bloody face
Is it an outright falsehood as alleged by DPM Lawrence Wong? Clearly Mr LMW did not think so
Let us have PSP guaranteed us an affordable housing scheme.
Our DPM did not reply to the questions raised. Even if LMW missed some of his answer earlier, he could just take a bit of time to reply him again.
LMW needs to listen, understand and ask more intelligent questions. He is not contributing anything meaningful, and is making PSP look foolish and shallow all the time. Big sigh....
this gst is costing alot of hardship, a 1% gst hike but in reality things outside the hike is in excess of 20%, come 2024 its gonna be another 1% and its going to be another round of hikes!!!
Hahaha. LW not answering LMW question??
ANSD of 2nd unit us now 17%, third 25% on top of the standard stamp duty. So the Govt keeoo ok S the profits during the Boom n owners take interest rate risk n potential losses.
A new BTO 5 RM at AMK is $700k. So who is creating the bubble?
Already talking in end correction said it turn over to question.
He knows he cannot ans the Question 😂
Every other people is talking Falsehood they don't n never HV falsehood. Spoken. I m very happy for LMW he is very cool
LW ans always the same.... The figures speak for itself.......
U have to respect what he challenge is for the citizens and whilst PAP is squeezing us. We should appreciate the opposition voice for us.
Waiting for Mr Leong to be voted in and the other person to be voted out
Lawrence Wong want to smoke the common people, how can compare with other country, each country have different policies and circumstance....comparing apple and orange again, yes both are fruits but still they are different, have different attributes although same category.
I prefer durains.
@@acheeyk 😂
How SG is generating Real-INCOME for the nation?
If this DPM don't have proper response his question . It's always referring to forine menister n country. To me n all of us foriners don't look after our country's reserve. It's this government who's in charge. So please come out with Tru facts n figure.
The pap is just a crippling rock and dumbbell for singaporeans, no longer essential for singaporeans. And the things and money that the pap give back ARE all PEANUTS.
Bugs bunny is getting flashier and sharp witted
@8.58 Miss Leong, I've listened to your questions quite carefully... 😂🤔
