- Putting together Budget 2023 was a "delicate balancing act of finding that sweet spot", Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong told Parliament on Friday (Feb 24) as he rounded up the Budget debate.
He added that Singapore wants to get back to a more sustainable fiscal position but it cannot taper down support too quickly because the economic outlook remains uncertain. At the macro level, Budget 2023 is expansionary, providing some support for what is likely to be a weaker economy this year, he said
Mr Wong also addressed questions from MPs on whether the Government is taking too much and giving back too little, whether Singapore is staying competitive and helping businesses and workers sufficiently, and whether the Government is doing enough to help Singaporeans and households in need.

After Increasing GST, Now Everything has gone UP By 10-20%; some even As High As 30%
Good Job 4G In CAUSING FURTHER INFLATION thru GST
Singaporean pockets say they don't agree with his round-up.
Sad to say that any good policies won't please SG 99%! It is normal to see those negative comments against the SG government. Silent majority will show the votes in the next election! Well done SG government for taking care of the poor without corruption.
More needs to be done
“The GST Voucher Schemes have an expiry date, while the GST increase itself does not. The 8% increase (and the 9% increase next year) will have to be borne by all Singaporeans, from the senior citizens to the baby in the womb. This is why RDU is against the increase of GST, especially at a time like this. We have explained in the past about how we can better use other revenue streams without increasing the GST.”
I think Leon Perera in Parliament is the only one gutsy enough to tell him straight on the face to tell his party to stop propagating falsehoods. I want to laugh.
I noticed, When he recited back the passages, he somehow intentionally or what I don't know, but skipped the words "Will the HDB" and replaced with "So, With that".
And that makes a lot of difference in a debate, because that important sentence is in a form of a question and not forming a conclusion.
Therefore, this makes Leon Perera Shines in the Outcome of the debate IMO. I have to be neutral.
Nevertheless, as the saying goes;
What did old man say about to stand up to people telling your party to stop propagating falsehoods in Parliament or to "step down", something to the tune or can you remember old man the exact words? I want to laugh.
For the average and low income
Realistic and practical living is what matters!!
You know LMW is a good representative when every PAP MP or minister often cites LMW, despite only being a NCMP, in their speech. Singaporeans must rally behind an MP who will truly represents their interest in Parliament. Vote PSP.
Do not trust LW. He claimed that middle income group is receiving more dollar benefits than they pay in taxes. If true, this is an illogical claim. It means that the PAP government is inefficient and deceitful in their tax collection and payment. It is simply more efficient to do away with taxes for groups who take in more than they pay in taxes. There might be potential corrupt activities involving the PAP government in dealing with public funds.
In summary, do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP. Deny LW his Premiership. He is not your PM. Vote opposition.
This year $123.7 billion Budget is not a small amount. It amount to $41,000 per person roughly if Singapore population is 3m. It is enough to pay some low income people their whole year salary. But many of us did not get $41,000 per person. It is going to increase inflation and a large amount of tax is need to pay the budget. Budget and fiscal discipline needed.

Why don't you become the government and take care of all these issues. Stop complaining with your BIG mouth.
I have lived in finland for 7 years n paid 2 million in taxes. We had little excess to the healthcare, has to pay for private healthcare as the public healthcare has failed, no English education widely available, cold darn n expensive. Singaporeans for paying 3 times lesser but obtaining 80 percent more public benefits than Scandinavians
During LKY & Goh Keng Swee era, Govt was v thrifty & prudent with spending while spending aggressively on building public housing & schools, amenities, while successfully attracted foreign investments. Unfortunately now, we don’t see enough leaders with courage, wisdom & vision.
Our leaders today have provided far better social welfare policies n education than Lou’s time, I was born during the 70s n have lived overseas for 20 y, our social welfare, childcare support housing n education in n healthcare has surpassed Scandinavian countries by many times. Pls do not critique blindly.
Thank you for bring SG cost of living higher....

While RDU found some bright sparks in Budget 2023, such as higher taxes for new luxury cars and big properties, the party urged the Government to carefully consider the policy proposals put forward by RDU on keeping public housing affordable and accessible for current and future generations of Singaporeans, providing more protections for workers in the gig economy, improving Medifund to provide support for needy Singaporeans, and helping local businesses lower costs.
brother wong, other countries might have higher taxes, Singapore got COE - its 100k per sheet of paper; not a fair comparison just by focusing on their tax rates

It is market driven, there is no such thing as too much! Few years b4 1997, Japanese car prices did go beyond $100k. The no. of luxury cars has also started to grow way b4 COVID. In other words, more people are willing to pay more than $200k for a car.

RDU also highlighted the need to strengthen key institutions with the core values of Fairness, Accountability, Integrity, and Transparency to build more resilient people, given the many uncertainties and risks that the world faces today.
The party believes that a combination of funding, a skilled workforce, collaboration, infrastructure, and supportive regulatory environment is essential for the successful development of the R&D sector.
RDU emphasized the need to set the right priorities to help families lower the cost of living, lower healthcare costs, improve education, create stable jobs, increase employees’ income, and help lower business costs such as rental and transportation.
The party believes that the people will be better off and more resilient with other policy options that can help them, rather than relying only on Government support year after year to cope with inflation.

Govt shd seriously & humbly reflect on its fiscal recklessness eg overstocking of Pfizer jabs which were very costly requiring special transportation, freezer storage. Useless Govt commercials on TV, TH-cam, which nobody really bother to take seriously. We would love to hear how Govt depts plan to review/cut their operating spending.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim confirmed that his administration would not implement the Goods and Services Tax (GST) due to high food inflation and low wages.
Whereas the PAP hike the GST saying ~ GST hike does not hurt the poor.!
Time to tell the PAP in 2025 my foot.
Unlike Singaporeans, Malaysian dont' like GST.
PAP is simply giving what Singaporeans want.
No gst cos unrecorded incomes are more than enough! 😜 No gst but money devalued by 2/3 😝 No gst but always run out of chickens and eggs 😆
GST Tax in some cases, End Up Being More expensive than the VAT Tax example Contrary to the GST Tax, the VAT Tax is the amount of VAT the user pays is based on the cost of the product minus any costs of materials in the product that have already been taxed at a previous stage, from production to the point of sales. GST Tax could repeat the tax from production to the point of sales from raw materials, ingredients, rental cost, electricity, transports etc example multiplying effect type tax.
There are 2 types of inflation. Inflation caused by "external factors" and Inflation cause by "GST Tax and the Carbon Tax". I hope Singaporeans can be informed. If you are in doubts, just compare with prices across the crossway.
In the 1st place, are you able to provide facts such as the VAT of countries that you are making reference to, the respective percentages & how are our gst reimbursement work as compared to their VAT systems! 😜
Lawrence Wong spends way too much time trying to attack the opposition. All his "perhaps", "maybes" and "can't help but feel that the WP thinks this and that".
I would really prefer if he stays focused on saying things with more basis. This is really getting old...
It is the job of the opposition to oppose they have given pretty good proposals but the gov won’t listen anyway they think they are always right which they are NOT
Wow what a strong response from DPM! LW is indeed a very good speaker. Very concise, to the point and respectful. Can't wait to see him run SG!

While there were indeed many goodies for Singaporeans in the budget, RDU found that the measures announced in this budget came across as piecemeal and scattered solutions to complex and very serious problems facing Singaporeans and local businesses in the foreseeable future.
RDU raised concerns about the impact of increasing grants to help young couples buy resale flats or secure BTO flats, as it may inflate housing demand, cause the prices of resale flats to rise further, and contribute to deforestation. RDU also noted that Budget 2023 did not go far enough in doing more to make the lives of Singaporeans better and to give more help for micro and small businesses, which are grappling with rising costs and struggling with GST hikes.
The party asked if the $12 billion, which was not used from the drawdown of Past Reserves, the monies which the Government is not obliged to return, could have been used to delay the GST increase for 2-3 years.
Social workers must be made to do social experiments and understand what's happening on the ground!!

It's never possible to satisfy everyone. There are those who oppose for genuine reasons, and the oppositions that oppose for the sake of opposing and coming up with senseless counter-proposals.

The permanent GST Voucher scheme was introduced by the Government in Budget 2012 to help lower- and middle-income Singaporean households with their expenses, in particular what they pay in GST. Each of the four components provides support for various household needs - Cash for immediate needs; MediSave for seniors to support their medical needs; U-Save to offset utilities bills; and S&CC Rebate to offset S&CC bills.
No Thanks to the PAP, the Sunshine Bread has increased from normally $3.30 to today I noticed at $3.90, a whopping $0.60 cents increase or 18.18% increase which can be attributed to the multiplying effects of the recent GST hike of 1%.
So the Pertinent Question is;
When the PAP said GST Hike will not hurt the poor, were they basing on the 1% hike OR the Overall multiplying effect on the Price?
These days, its getting harder to trust anything they say.
The bread that I always buy was S$6.20, is S$6.30 now, only increase by 10¢ 👍🏽😆

Jamus Lim opined, “Singapore has many families with such contrasting stories. One of hope and opportunity, for a brighter future and the possibility of a promising career. Another of struggle and compromise, trying to make ends meet, to help fulfill the dreams of the other.”
“My hope is that, as a society, we’ll continue to find it within ourselves to lend a helping hand to those with potential, so that they may uplift themselves and their families, and in doing so, make the Singapore we live in a better place.”
On 1 January 2023, the GST hiked 1 per cent from 7 per cent to 8 per cent after the Singapore Parliament approved the tier-hiked 2 per cent with the People’s Action Party majority vote.
The other 1 per cent hike will take place on 1 January 2024, raising the GST to 9 per cent.
The GST hike has been opposed by WP MPs and the Non-constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) of the Progress Singapore Party.
At the same time, IRAS has reminded businesses not to misrepresent the increase in prices by attributing it solely to the hike in GST.
