To help the Needy why PAP don't implement US "Food Stamp"?

[Debonerman]

PAP raised GST ostensibly for a more equitable tax structure and to help the needy, why not implement something like what the US had been doing and tweaking it to suit the local circumstances? Coupons used must bear the identification of the recipient of any public assistance programs. Will this country lose face to have such a program? Don't worry, unless you had been sticking your head in the sand, everybody outside hates us.
Put our money where your mouths are MIW dogs!
