British was said to have cracked brains to think of new tax revenue leading to the proposal of having a carbo-tax. What do you think?
The news is, at the bottom-line, customer-based; they are reporting in the mass market's perspective instead of maintaining their neutrality. Local government's plan to cut down vehicle's growth rate and retrieving of excess COE has been postponed; everyone cheered, including the news presenter. What about our traffic congestion issue? What about the excess hazardous gas polluting our environment? It's a social cost and an issue only the government can and will cure. Now what?
What's the point of having an opposition when all it leads to is the incumbent trying to sustain majority by implementing popular policies instead of efficient ones? Cross efficiency is what you what? Look what we have now; the limits of democracy. Haven't you realize how Singapore became so successful? Because we rarely (in the past, that is) have the need to please the society with plans that may not be the best in economic sense. Do we really want the PAP to start becoming an Obama giving empty promises, or an authoritarianism ensuring prosperity?
