Think of the
great effort and funds applied to keep our air clean. Clean air does not come
naturally anymore. Keeping the air clean is costly but many people have yet to
know how costly this is. Just to keep the haze away, the govt has spent a lot
of effort and financial resources to keep the culprits from continuing with
their harmful actions. And there is also a political cost when relations with
our neighbours can be agitated and aggravated and in the end affecting economic
relations and trade.
The tree
planting activities, keeping as much greenery in the island, using clean
technology, policing anti clean air activities all cost money. It would not be
long before someone comes up with the idea to make the people to feel the cost
of keeping the air clean and healthy. If water can be priced on the basis of
making the people appreciate that it is important, the same kind of logic would
not be far fetch to apply to air.
How about
levying some kind of free and clean air taxes for the money spent to keep the
air breathable for Singaporeans? Would
some nuts in the future be thinking that this is a good thing, to make the
people feel the price of clean air and how important and valuable is clean air?
If it really happens, then cham liao.
Would some
jokers be saying that this is to help the people and good for the people, for
the people’s good? Would there be free
and clean air tax in the future? Smokers be warned, you are contaminating the
air with all kinds of harmful agents. You have yet to be made to pay for
harming the environment, making the air unclean and the efforts to keep the air
clean from cigarette pollutants.
But before
free air is in the calculation, would power and electricity fall into the same
category as water and be subject to the same strategic thinking and pricing? We
don’t have natural power production sources and producing power and electricity
is very expensive. Tiok boh?
RB, I was hoping that you didn't remind them of another critical resource that must be taxed. Now the beans are spilled, I am afraid government will take up your suggestion and turned it into theirs. The tax will be a reminder that we cannot take clean air for granted. Perhaps a tax of 3 cents per hundred breadth for a start. You stay at home, the tax is lower. If you go to the park and jog, you pay more tax. Each of you will carry a breath recorder and at the end of the month, the result will be auto sent to PUB for calculating clean air cost. During hazy day due haze from Indonesia, there will be a discount of 30%. How about that?
ReplyDeleteWhat we can think of the supertalents would be 10 steps ahead of us. And the details you suggested very likely they too knew about them and probably have 101 more ways that are even better than your suggestions: )

Best is to install a bidding system with very limited cubicles and those super urgent (to laosai) can up their bid to get the next available cubicle ......?
DeletePayment for ah pek (oldies) can be by credit cards or cash cards or cash notes?
To control (and monopolise) the (pangsai) market, enact new regulations to control the toilet supply in each district, precinct so that demand (like COE) outstrips supply by more than 10 times?
This is called (man-made artificial clever business[men] manufactured) scarcity mah (What's wrong collecting more [sinful] $$$? U die your biz?)
DeleteCreate shortage by fiddling with the supply or create an excess demand (vis a vis fixed supply) in the market by drawing traffic to a particular region through default means (die die people somehow need to use)?
The American Wall Streets ex-NASA financial geeks oso very innovative in creating new products but alas, the last time they did, it triggered the 2008 GFC through their toxic MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities), CDO (Collateral Debt Obligation) , CDS (Credit Default Swap) ...... etc (financial) innovations?
So the cubicles doors can be fixed with an electromagnetic lock and wired to a smart system where once payment (outside the cubicles) is made through credit cards, cash cards or cash, the system will send a signal to release the magnetic lock to access the cubicle?
DeleteTo exit, the user must press the release button beside the door?
However, if user exit time limit (say 5 mins), he must pay to exit (via the payment reader inside the cubicle?
The pricing of such cubicle can be modelled after the COE or Ride-Hailing system like Uber such that there will be peak hours and price surge mechanism to "accurately reflect the true price and ("manufactured/ man-made") scarcity of the cubicles?

One thing for sure, smoking cost shall rise very soon. Take my word.

The 10 Propensities In A Corrupted Country
ReplyDelete1. The propensity to commit crimes is due to low wages and poverty.
2. The propensity to be corrupt is due to greed.
3. The propensity to hold on to power is due to fear of being exposed.
4. The propensity to increase one's own salary is due to greed, jealousy and uncontrollable urge to pander to one's ego.
5. The propensity to increase tax is due to over-spending, greed and fear.
6. The propensity to increase personal and national debt is due to poor planning, over-spending and inefficiency.
7. The propensity to over-spend is due to having too poor planning, lack of self-check and self-control.
8. The propensity to tell lies is due to being too cunning and too smart.
9. The propensity to con the public is due to habitual tendency to suppress, cheat and bully others.

ReplyDeleteWater from the tap is processed and sold to houses thro meters.
ReplyDeleteThere is decision to on or off the tap. I think the water tax should be 3000% higher. The present price is too low according to "experts".
Have your heads check. State own pub by name belonged to the voters, in fact are controlled by the elites. They can set the prices high and higher to sell to their customers.
Dont want the tap water, can collect their own rain water. This is tax free.
Air oxygen is belonged to tax payers who ever they can get the oxygen. The state has no processed oxygen sold to individuals except in hospitals. Or buy your own oxygen tanks then have to pay.
No need to pay tax on air or oxygen. If parliament want the money. Its voters own donations to help the elites on shortage of cash. No reason to pay for air oxygen as the elites have no title to the oxygen in the atmosphere.
But elite can tax votes on standing on state lands. Stand, sit, squat, sleep at state lands, drinks in park, smoke at bus stops, all these are pollution to the state. No use of these places will save cleaner expenses. There should not be people walking outside their homes to save money. Then they use water, and the elites sell waters. Thats the way to get taxes.
To avoid taxes, voters need to vote for opposition to form another team. The new team may not increase the water tax, and may avoid speculating on shares, buy high sell low, to use up the money they borrowed from cpf or banks. The new team will also not giving free money to foreigners on scholarship one year $360 millions, 10 years 4 billions, as wastage. More school vacancies for students, also needing less teachers to teach foreigners. Jobs given to more than 800000 pmets can be taken back for citizens to increase income, and help the retailers to survive the high to higher rental. Without voting for another team, voters will head for doom, bankrupt for some, and suicides for some, and depression for many jobless souls. The elites will continue to increase taxes, next is likely to be gst after 2020GE.
Sinkies be very careful to avoid spending on big money.
ReplyDeleteSouth korean president park is gone, according to the constitutional judgement. Election will be held while US rushed through the deployment of THAAD. By April, THAAD will be up and running. Then a biggest war game in SK may trigger a war or limited war. There may be good stuff to buy at war time, uncertainty. But jobs will be harder to come by at war time. The water tax increase is in good timing. The state will secure its income for the elites, the poor will be hit hard. Aspire to be hawkers? Unless voters vote for another team, the continue hiring of pmets jobs for foreigners will hit sinkie hard hard. Our children s future is doomed by pinky s pro foreigners policy. For US, interest rate goes up, exchange rate also go up, stock market also go up, jobs predicted to be 190k hired ended up as 298k hired. Its all because of Trump s Amercian First policy, while sinkies is voting for Foreigner first policy. Its a good comparison: Trump vs pinky.

You are wrong. Sinkies are cheap labor employers do not even want to hire. The $400 to 500pm is the value of sinkies young men.
There is no security to me, as far as the $400pm job is concerned. National security worth far more, should be $4000pm for private soldiers while the generals get millions per year.
So I strongly urge the government to abolish enlistment. All soldiers must hire foreign talents and pay them the right salary for them to defend singapore. With foreigners as soldiers, i feel so secure and willing to give up jobs to foreigners as first choice. Foreigners must be soldiers and army first.

The notion that national service is for the defence of Singapore is a fallacy. Initially, it was but subsequently it was not. The principal aim of NS was to indoctrinate and condition the young men's mind and transform them into robotic yes-men who will willing sacrifice their comfort, welfare, freedom, ideals and lives to the people in power in general, the Leech family's in particular. Secondarily, it was to serve as a stop-gap measure to lighten the load on the job market. Thirdly, it was to serve as a pool of cheap labourers. Fourthly, it was to get the jobless off the streets so that they won't create mischief and minor crimes to give the the small police force but headaches.

The tip of the iceberg or the tip of the pyramid, as in pyramid club, pyramid trading, pyramid scams, pyramid of the Illuminati? Icebergs are naturally formed only in the extremely cold regions around the north and south poles, whereas pyramids can be build by humans on land anywhere. So the spread is much more extensive. E.g. a huge taxi company requires its hirers to send their rented taxis for maintenance every month; each hired has to wait at least 4 hours for the job to be done if go by normal queue. If he pays a bribe of $20 to the mechanic, he gets his taxi back on the road within one hour. This is the untold secret on-going practice in some of the workshops in Singapore. Supposing the company has 10,000 hirers and only 10% of them bribed the mechanics, that means 1,000 bribes each month, or 12,000 bribes in a year, for this company alone. Add another 2 companies of say 5,000 taxis each. Total of number of bribes, conservatively would easily be 24,000 per year, just for 3 taxi companies. What about other types of companies? Add them up and get a rough estimate of how huge the base of the pyramid is!???

ReplyDeleteFollowing PAP's logic on water as a strategic resource, it follows that Oppositions Members of Parliament is a strategic resource and a scarcity. It is even more important than water because there many sources to obtain water, whereas there is only one source to get opposition MPs, i.e. from the 30% of Smart Sinkies. Therefore, it must be well protected and increase in value for the long-term interests of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteParliament 2017 Debate Q & A betw WP NCMP cum Economist Leon Pereira and HSK:
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/4WRDP3FgfHc
Leon asked several qns (paraphrased below):
1) Whether budget was expansionary enough in nature
2) Plunging net birth of SMEs
3) Timing of various taxes including the highly "controversial" 30% water tax by 1 Jul 2017
Now, analysing the theme and focus of WP NCMP's thrust, it (is quite obvious it) stems from the common economic sensical stand that given the "patient's relatively weak medical conditions" ....... oops ....... current relative weak domestic and external ECONOMIC fundamentals, the timing to "draw significant amount of blood from the patient for donation" ...... oops ...... increase pervasive taxes such as a 30% water tax at SUCH JUNCTURE is "highly questionable and akin ownself shoot ownself laogoa classic style of self-mutilation"?
DeleteLook at Qn(2): Plunging SMEs net birth?
How does a "doctor assess a patient's plunging blood pressure" ..... oops ......an economist assessment of many existing SMEs "RUN ROAD or PERMANENTLY PULLING DOWN the roller shuttle door" which are contributing to a "plunging net birth of SMEs"?
The doctor thinks it is ok?
No problem?
The "blood bank having acute blood shortage" so need go ahead "draw blood" cos it is a LEGITIMATE cause and therefore timing or no timing, there is no good timing?
Aiyo?
Patient "HALF DEAD" liao timing not important to decide whether to "DRAW a few packets of BLOOD" under such medical circumstances?
From an ECONOMIC point of view, fiscal and monetary policies are short term macroeconomic tools to stabilize the fluctuations due to the boom/ bust business cycle?
DeleteIn the UK in the post-2008 GFC aftermath, they calibrated their policy responses carefully with fiscal contraction (to rein in their budget deficit) but expansionary monetary policy through massive QEs (quantitative easing aka print $$$)?
Yesterday it was announced effective from today (11/3/2017), cooling measure of SSD (Seller Stamp Duty) slightly relaxed and TDSR slightly tweaked?
Now are these knee jerk (after thoughts) reactions?
Do doctors need complex and complicated macroeconometric models to decide whether stroke patient can withstand the added burden of extracting a few packets of blood from his boLEE when he is already "half dead and fighting" for his life?
Sometimes or rather often, MEE thinks all these debates are "wasting taxpayers $$$"?
DeleteWhy?
Q & A is always Q but no A lei?
Where is the A to make all these debates worth the taxpayers $$$?
So what did the MAS complex macroeconometric result show when the tax increases are factored in (with a possible contractionary monetary outlook when the US FED hike interest rate)?
What A(nswer) was given?
Nothing?
Where got nothing?
DeleteDoctor got do medical tests mah?
Do medical test for fark?
If there is no result about outcome of blood tests?
So u think all these debates Q & A meaningful or not?
Got do medical tests lei?
Then where are all the medical tests OUTCOME (& RESULTS)?
So much for the A(nswers) to the Q(uestions)?
At the end of the entire debate season, noboLEE is a any wiser about the A(nswers) to the Q(uestions) cos such A(nswers) are phrased such that they do not contain any test result outcome?
Huh?
How is that?
An A(nswer) that CONTAINS NO A(nswer)?
This Leon face reaction was "quite funny"?
Can tell he is "probably thinking should he CRY or LAUGH"?
