Below are the conversation between two bloggers on why they should or should not pay S&CC fees.
I am an Aljunied resident living with my parents. Lately, due to some
disagreements I had with the TC, I have been asking my parents not to
pay the S&C fees. My reasoning is simple. Why should we pay to an
administration body that we did NOT vote for??? Let those people who
voted for them pay for them.
I can only imagine the sheer number of people who feels the same way. I
hope these people continue to withhold payment and hopefully we can
shame the Workers Party out of parliament.
Why can’t Aljunied have a “normal” and competent town council like other constituencies??

Hey, @Lim, I just love the pure logic of yr reasoning. I think it’s worth its weight in implementation on a nation-wide basis.
Why don’t you bring this up to PM Lee himself to propose such a bill in
his PAP-dominated parliament? Truly, someone yr calibre, so
thinking-out-of-the-box type, is wasted just writing comments here.
Don’t waste it, dude. Serve the country as a PAP candidate.
Let me know when you do. I’ll be following yr speeches and writings most closely. Thx.

I also agree with 2econdsight. The comments by Lim are worth its weight
in gold. Everyone should think about it seriously and decide whether to
pay your S&CC fees. Sinkies are getting smarter by the days. If
more Sinkies are as smart as this Lim, there will be a better tomorrow
for every Sinkie.
Just a word of caution, before you stop paying your S&CC fees, make
sure you got a mountain behind you. People who so ‘kar si’ and refused
to pay S&CC fees must surely got a mountain behind them, or they
would not be so garang and ‘kong cum’ to think this is their
grandfather’s country.
This is looking like the Americans telling the Pinoys to fight with
China with them carrying the big stick in the shadow. What kind of
world is this turning to be? Gangsterism or mafiadom?
Our kiasi, kiasu and kia chenghu daft now acting like the mouse sitting on top of the lion's head.

This Ah Lim is definately a Poot how kia.Boh Tua Boh Suay.
ReplyDeleteThe parent is a failure for bringing up such children.
How can he tell the parent to pay or not to pay on something that everyone need to.
Which ever party that run the council,conservative charges should be paid .My TC may have some shortfalls.That does not give me the right to decide whether to pay or not,irregardless whether I voted for them.
Another case of ugly Sinkies.
When netizen vigilante went after Jover Chew, some minsiters got so angry and came out to warn them not to break the law. I am waiting for some ministers to come out to warn those saying publicly that they would not pay SCC charges.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is not breaking the law and no one will come out to say anything. Maybe some will say good, don't pay good. Doing the right thing.
Actually hor, the Lim above would not be so "Boh Tua Boh Suay" if Teochew Ah Hia had not publicly declared that WP is not ready to be govt.
ReplyDeleteU don't see such a Lim in a PAP ward who did not vote PAP saying such a thing to PAP Town Council, do u?
So does this mean if I do not vote for PAP in next elections, I can say that I do not need to pay my:
ReplyDelete1. income tax
2. road tax
3. no need to do my reservist
4. no need to pay GST
5. etc
Hopefully the recalcitrant PAP voter is not representative of other PAP voters/supporters.
It is not surprising that the One telling the Parents not to pay the Conservancy Fee is a grassroot member or even a PAP Supporter.
ReplyDeleteIn Sin, there are currently only PAP and WP running Town Councils.
QUESTION IS;
DOES THE LAW IN SIN ALLOWS HDB OWNERS TO REFUSE PAYING
CONSERVANCY FEE OR ANY PAYMENT DUE TO THE RESPECTIVE TOWN COUNCILS?
What proof does Lim 11 offer that he voted PAP?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he just does not want to pay because he has no money in the current PAP economy?
ReplyDeleteSMART IDEA! SMART IDEA!
This is indeed a SMART idea in
our SMART city.
It sounds good and SUBSTAINABLE
and should be implemented nationwide.
We should quickly get the
parliament to pass the law to
allow households to pay the S&CC
only to the party they voted for.
Cheers.
I support. Pay conservancy to the party you support, pay income tax, road tax, GST and whatever to the party you voted for.
ReplyDeleteTrue democracy.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 9.38am 9.39am & 10.07am pls note......
GOOD Suggestions! GOOD Suggestions!
Since your good suggestions involved a few govt depts, why not put forward your suggestions to our PM office to follow up.
Well Done! Keep your suggestions coming!
Cheers.
The guy s talking cock lah. You live there you pay, simple as that.
ReplyDeletePlus you don't own your HDB. All you do is own the LEASE on the HDB.
This is a classic case of "I don't want to pay so I'm going to pull any reason out of my as to JUSTIFY my position".
Has this asshole graduated from kindergarten yet?
What do you know? This guy is a gangster. Belongs to a very powerful gang. He refused to pay what can you do?
ReplyDeleteStay with parents, some more old folks pay SC & what CCC???
ReplyDeleteMust be a real parasite. Good good, many of us would not have to pay all these charges as we also do not vote for PAP.
We fo not even have chance to vote in Tanjong Pagar GRC.
By Ah Lim's argument, if I do not vote for any party, I do even have to pay any S&CC fees.
ReplyDeleteIf they pass such a law in Parliament, the majority will surely support it.
Actually, boh chenghu is even better. No GST, road tax, levies etc.
We live in a world that is operated by 'elected' mafia. Even if the gov goes against the people, the people still have to pay tax (direct/ indirect). Democracy is a scam to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway to Lim, do not vote and no need to pay any S%CC? That kind of logic does not go very well with the mafia. Everyone has to pay protection money whether or not they are protected.
ReplyDeleteWe should all thank lim for his great idea.
ReplyDeleteBut, that is provided his parents are indeed immune from paying the Conservancy Fee legally.
