A majority of revenue should come from taxes, and not from rentals. Rentals should be fixed because these operations depend on tourists and locals alike. And because SG is in a recession, the more these operations have to depend on volume and turnover of customers.

In short, government ministries should be facilitators to help businesses operate and continue to make money. In exchange, these businesses will pay taxes to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. But in no way or form should these ministries be turned into a quasi-corporation that is bend to make profits in the form of higher rentals.

NParks depend on the government for their funding and as such, they should be banned from seeking extra revenue from sources such as this. This is also true because NParks is the authority of all parks in Singapore, and not a business entity; its not Singapore Power.

PAP is killing biz in Spore,except GLCs and MNCs

Through higher start-up costs, they will kill all small businesses, leaving S'pore with only half screwed up GLCs and a bunch of MNCs which are always gonna be looking for opportunities to go somewhere else.

I mean these MNCs won't continue to manufacture in Singapore if the cost of wages are too high..and these manufacturers are producing low-end products, not high end ones. Even factories in China are producing iPhones, and iPods and Macs for Apple, hardly low-end tech products.

In the end, I feel sad when the government becomes an adversary of small businesses in Singapore. In other countries, such as Australia, the government has become a partner in helping small businesses to grow. Here, its the opposite. More people will emigrate to other countries as a result of this.

every ministry is out to make money.that's very jialat.

"......you have to pay the market rate or the man will up stakes and join Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers or Goldman Sachs and you would have an incompetent man and you would have lost money by the billions....." - MM Lee April 2007

Just collapse the entire the Singapore SME industry and turn it into a communist state. LKY is the biggest commie. See if communism will attract anyone. Tourist statistics are so rigged. Your maid foreign worker all count as tourist statistics. Walk in walk out count one time. Next time make you fill up 2 forms count twice.

A business associate in China, told me that LKY perfected the communist system in Singapore.

A one party rule with himself portrayed like "Mao" the father of the country, the best part is he do it with the endorsement of the west and camouflage under democracy and free election.

WHO IS THE LACKEY THAT THOUGHT THIS OUT?

That white scum lackey is hiding behind a govt entity trying to profit from rental raise. KNN it's just a parking maintenance unit want to collect rental. Years back MOE built the new building with plenty of shops for rental. Now this.

Screw lah. If they want percentage, then precentage all the way. Where got say "whichever is higher". This is call profiteering! Where is CASE? These people are driving up food prices during a recession! AND WITH NO VALUE ADD!

Small biz bosses are very happy with PAP even PAP says F.O.

Surprise,surprise,amd you know why?

One word,ASSETS.

The small men and ladies -never mind biz KOYA,so long as my terraces,bungalows,condos or even piegon holes are doubling in values.

But NOT any more,and I reckon it may take up to 10 years to recover in assets' value,much of course depends on that CHANGE new Black President.So I guess Lau Lee is going to die as a NOT so popular man after all.

Is there GOD?yes,GOD is every where,always think before you do,no slelf justification or glorification.

They are NOT entitle to the rental. Imagine business owner took the risk initially to run business. What NPark do? Nothing but maintaining parks. Even if the business fail to take off, they got nothing to lose!

Another town council imitation.

 

[theblackhole]

all the ministries and all the stat boards are now very powerful.

 

[saratogas]

Landlord National Parks Board (NParks) needs to balance their accounts after spending $$$ to upgrade several parks including the Bridge and additional responsibility with Hong Lim Park.

NFark now comes under Shortie Ministar Tatoo of Fantasy Island.

He is the same short arse that says HDB losing hundreds of millions every year.

He is single handedly responsible for raising the COSTS of LIVING in Singapore together with that Transport ministar.

Save your "BLESSINGS" for these 2 Ministars everytime your wallet is empty.

there is nothing really fantastic about east coast seafood centre... crowded hot n stuffy.. wait long long for food.. priced up so high.. no parking lot... n worse non stop patrolling of traffic warden to book u even u miss the timing by 1min

 

[yellow_people]

In the end, after all that complaining and empty threats, these Chinks will kowtow to National Parks demand. Typical Sinkie Chinkies.

 

[STUCK_HERE]

Capitaland is king in this GTO rental shit. They enforce it in all their malls. If you don't want, they tell you to fuck off, the queue of people who want to set up shop is long!!! That is what we tell their tenants. All their tenants are forced to use Capitaland POS system so that the landlord can see how much the tenant earn.

Fuck company. Gangster, extortionist. If you have a booming business, they want part of it. Extortion right?

 

[2lanu]

Those business setting up in the park had to be prepare for this shock. This is the underhand way the scholars/lackeys are earning credits.
