Lawless Wong Defends Election Year Handouts After Criticism

[True Believer]

he probably made an election mistake giving vouchers instead of cash. those senior citizens who are sick and half-dead, lying in bed at home 24-7 can't spend the vouchers.

Their children will enjoy spending their parents' CDC vouchers.

Defend what? Why it was so little?

Just enough for your head above water.555

The handout is nothing to scream about. It is pathetic and likely to flip the votes in favour of the opposition.

The PAP uses the CDC vouchers to buy votes. In years gone by, the PAP used our own money to threaten us regarding the HDB upgrading issue just before the GE.

They are doing it because they like it.
They like to see Singkie beg for voucher and ask mercy.They want to humour Singkie.

I am not very sure sinkies would vote them after collected the CDC vouchers.
It seems like more and higher amount of CDC vouchers would be given to sinkies if they lost more constituencies, eg after losing Sengkang GRC. So do you want more and higher amount of CDC vouchers?

 

[congo9]

CDC voucher should be given every month.

 

[True Believer]

CDC voucher should be given every month.

PMEs probably pay the same amount in income tax per month, if the Pappies give us $300 in vouchers monthly.

Lawrence Wong pissing his pants now. He knew he fucked up by increasing GST now that we know there is an expected surplus of $6.4 billion for financial year 2024, compared with the $778 million that had earlier been projected.

PAP Greed never ceases to amaze me.

6.4 billion. Knn that’s only for 1 year. How about the surpluses every single year before that?

Most heartless thing is despite taking in so much money from taxes, we don’t see things like unemployment safety nets, free healthcare, free education like other European countries do.

I understand corporate greed when publicly-listed companies like Parkway Pantai with consistent revenue generation from its brand name private hospitals and medical centres, retrenches staff older staff on a regular basis to improve on its profitability. However, our govt must not behave like such companies.

Papies are fucker, kknnb ccb

Besides distributing 'pork belly' for erection .....
This liang po po can also play the guitar.

[iluvgst]

Give each sinkie hundreds of dollars but pay themselves millions. How to win more votes.

 

[laksaboy]

No need to 装逼 until like this lah, it's the usual every election year by the PAP regime.

Pork barrel politics has always been the PAP's bread and butter. It started from the Goh Chok Tong era, the goodies were mixed with thinly veiled threats e.g. no HDB upgrading for you if you don't vote PAP.

Does PM LW know that he is a mere "seat warmer"?

Of course. Does he even look like he has the balls to think he's blue blood? But like the rest of us, he's making hay while it shines. Slaves don't know their expiry dates
