LHL said "GST increase to help the poor" - Evidence that he said it?

[AndroAsc]

Hey bros, I need some help with some idiot PAP moron I met online with short-term and selective memory. Does anyone have a link to an original or official source that records LHL saying that GST increase to is to help the poor. This was way back during the last GST hike from 7% to 5%.

Appreciate any help you can give guys!!!

Yeah, I used that link. And the PAP blinded person told me it technically doesn't say that LHL said it since the quotation marks is "vague". Anyway thanks for the link bro.... I guess some Sinkies have just short term and selective memory and will argue for the sake of arguing.

I think GST is to help ministers getting their multi-million dollars pay, to help pay for YOG, to help cover for the losses of GIC, to help increase the gov's buffer, anything and everything BUT to help the poor.

Now it is 2010, did the poor felt being helped after 3 years since GST increase?

Q3: It is unclear as to why the Government has to “tax the poor to help the poor”. If it is indeed the Government’s aim to help the lower-income, why not exempt basic goods and services and impose a higher rate of GST for luxury items?

A3: Exempting basic necessities like rice from GST is not the best way to help poorer Singaporeans. GST exemption on basic necessities will benefit higher-income households more than the middle- and lower-income groups, as the higher-income consume more of everything in absolute terms. It is preferable that we keep the tax flat so that its rate can be kept low and the system simple to administer. With a flat tax on all goods and services, the Government will be able to harness the additional revenue to help the lower-income to the extent that they will be better off than without the GST increase.

I rather watch the male cat outside the window attempting to mate with the female & creating such a ruckus, which is less annoying that the voice of "mee siam mai hum"....which makes my tummy churn.
