If this is a business transaction, he will have to pay tax for the profits made. Else, IRAS will knock on his door and fine him in court. I am sure the IRAS will be watching closely on his profits made.

Now he is in trouble. I hope he has spoken to Chiam. One cannot disguise a donation as a profit when the intention is clear. This is unversally applied.

You are clearly mistaken. stop scare-mongering. He has not run afoul of the political donations act

People are free to buy the very limited edition (and hence collectable) toothpicks offered by alex at his blog shop

I am praying from the bottom of my heart that this maverick does not sabotage chiam at this crucial moment.

Does he know what the laws are? What the statutes say? What the electoral rules are? Does he know ANYTHING?

Now I'm pissed.

I don't think you understand. The intellectual honesty of this person is in question. Such a person stands a high chance of sabotaging the opposition cause at the most critical moments.

That's why I'm fuming.

I am sure he has not checked with Chiam and the most experienced chaps in this business. They would have immediately stopped him. I hope this does not go the way of JBJ.

Poor chap, I know he means well and he is obviously dead keen and certainly has initiative.

I hope anyone who knows him personally can get in touch with him quickly and withdraw the scheme until he get it right.

Give the guy a break, my bet is PAP will send him off with a warning.

If he is indeed breaking any laws, PAP will be in a catch 22 situation; Hammer him and raise the ire of Gen Y. Let him off with a slap on the wrist and he'll be emboldened to try a more audacious stunt.

Leave him alone, and he MIGHT just whither away into oblivion.

Chances are, PAP will bait him by playing dead or engaging him via some low level running dog to appear inept. Then hammer him the minute a makes a faux pas ala CSJ taxi claim scandal.

But I'd really love to see PAP make a martyr of a Gen Y, especially now that Gen X is busily converting the Baby Boomers into anti-PAP...

Now he is in trouble. I hope he has spoken to Chiam. One cannot disguise a donation as a profit when the intention is clear. This is unversally applied.

You are absolutely clueless. I am for Alex and do not want to see him go under for a silly thing like this. I am certain this will make the press followed by the authorities if not checked.

Ability to fund candidates and campaigns is one of the most researched item that local political parties do and have been doing for years. There is a genuine reason for doing it - to maximise the ability to gain resources and not be disqualified in the process.

If someone wishes to sell a grain of sand for $1 and people are willing to pay for it, it's call business. If a person can convince an Eskimo to buy ice from him, he is a persuasive marketeer.

It is not objectionable if someone wants to sell cute printed toilet paper (there are hundreds of pieces in one roll) or pinches of table salt. They are equally worthless. But what the heck if people are willing to pay.

The appropriate thing to do is to declare the profit in the income tax returns. And I doubt if anyone can make enough to be pushed into the taxable bracket. Even if it does, it's sup sup sui.

Cosmetic companies are known to have made billions of dollars from selling hopes to ugly women. Scientists are known to sell strange ideas, like Global Warming.

Some of the forumers here are even more objectionable when they tried to sell us the idea that they are intelligent, successful, rich, pretty, suave, etc.





N.B. The above is my personal opinion as I am not a tax consultant. Neither am I egging anybody on.

Alex cannot say that it has nothing to do with SPP since the money is going to fund his election. He is a SPP member, and unless he resigns and stand as an independent candidate, all political activities has everything to do with SPP. Furthermore, if this is really a business, has he done all the necessary registeration with ACRA? I hope this Alex is not a loose cannon like what Chee was before.

in that case, please point out the specific section of the political donations act Alex has contravened. i'm sure i don't need to tell you where to find our statutes.

you do not need to register with acra to run a business if revenue is below a certain threshold. in fact, receipts don't even have to be issued unless you cross that threshold.

and even if alex is a loose cannon, that is for his party and his potential constituents to decide, not faceless nics on a forum.

Business registration was never based on revenue on any financial basis let alone threshold. Exemptions are based on very limited categories of vocations such such a hawker, fishermen and regulated professions such as doctor, lawyer who have their own registration bodies.

You should not make statements on subjects that you have no idea about.

In a democratic country, why should PAP impose $10K to contest the ruling party? I hope the new america ambassador monitor and protect Alex from PAP harrassment because he is trying to help majority of gutless Sinkies stand up against the tyranny. It is not easy for him and I will donate to him soon as a show of my greatest support and encouragement to him. I will tell all the younger generations that the older generations have bought toothpick to support a poor & yet courageous boy against 84 wealthy morons and to save everyone in this land.

It reminds me of a story where a boy put his finger in a hole of a dam to prevent flooding and he save the villagers.
