In thestatestimesreview, it posted this:
“In an interview with state media Straits Times published yesterday (Jun
19), Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said he will be imposing a new sugar
tax to promote water drinking in Singapore:
“On the cards is a possible sugar tax on packaged drinks, restricting
advertising of such drinks, and prominent labelling of sugar or
nutritional content.”
The “promote drinking water” reasoning coincides with another comment
made by a PAP MP last year. In 2017, PAP MP Lee Bee Wah commented that
raising the water prices by 30% would “promote awareness” of saving
water.”
The shortage of fund or the need to find more money for the govt has led
to a spate of relentless increases in taxes on everything. This excuse
to raise sugar tax to promote drinking more water is so silly that it is
so unbelieveable. Are Singaporeans third world uneducated bums that
would believe such a silly ruse? Only in Singapore where the sheeples
are hapless would a govt dare to keep raising taxes on the people
resulting in higher cost of living in the world’s most expensive city. A
tax on sugar consumption is simply bizarre.
And the govt is confident that the sheeples could not do anything about
it and would continue to vote them to power to rule over them with more
taxes.
I think the result of the next GE will see an unanimous support for the
ruling govt as the effect of drinking more shit water would mean that
the brain of the people would be filled with shit, and become even more
shitty and unthinking.
The net result is that the govt would have to bring in more shitty
foreign talents to replace the shitty brain Singaporeans that could no
longer think, no longer talent as their brains are filled instead with
shit.
Yeah, drink more shit water. It is good for the brain.
To those who don’t understand what is this shit water thing, let it be
known that shit water in the island is being filtered and reintroduced
into the reservoirs and returned to the homes as piped water for
domestic consumption. How often this is done and should be done when
rainfall here is normally more than adequate to fill the reservoirs
except during a prolong period of dry season is questionable. Do they
need to keep filling the reservoirs with shit water when there is plenty
of water during the wet seasons?
Another thing to ponder about? How many people are silly enough to buy
Newater for consumption when there is plenty of other normal drinking
water available? How many countries are importing our Newater for
consumption?
We are drinking the re-cycled urine of 3.4 million Sinkies and 2.5 million foreigners and many more tourists.
ReplyDeleteNext will be salt tax follow by air tax ,rice tax and flour tax. reasons are aplenty. Just wait for it.
ReplyDeleteBefore 2004, when Singapore's population was below 4.0 million, we never have to drink recycled urine and sewage water!
ReplyDeleteThe Pay And Pay Mantra: "FOR YOUR GOOD"
ReplyDeleteDon't want you buggers to join the Diabetics Club.So Sugar Tax less consumption of sugars. Same time we also have more sugars in our coffers.
Coffeeshops towkays rubbing their hands in glee. Sugar Tax just maybe S$10.00, we made S$1000.00
Every cup increases 10 to 20 cts.DONT blame us. You want siew Tai also increased.Sugar tax all the same.
We have in fact more than enough portable water for the lot of Singaporeans.
But the farking itchy backsides Pay And Pay acted as benevolent Angeles and brought in millions to share the commodity.
Now we drink sewer water and pay 30% increased tax. Darling HiFlux also flushed into the drains.
In time to come, will drink untreated sewer waters.
You Sinkies deservedly it. I want to drink stream waters in Matland.
Just to add. Diabetes not only sugary drinks.
ReplyDeleteOther food stuffs like carbohydrate
also contains sugar.
2 main sources of ills from garhment to Sinkies: multi-million open leg FT policy & multi-million ministerial salaries n compensation to themselves. These 2 are based on extreme greed & arrogance of the Pappies at the expense of Sinkies. Nevertheless with too much shit water in majority of Sinkies brains they keep asking for more. This one pony trick garhment answer to any policy problem is to hike prices. 5 years in a row as most expensive city in the world correspondingly should result in lowest pay for these ministers but instead 69.9% sinkies still voted for more. Like they said, "You ask for it".

ReplyDeleteDONT KPKB KPKB AND KPKB LAH
70% voted for it in the last GE
some even forecasted a 80% for PAP at the next GE
sg is like that liao
everyone "boh-chup" about "cheng-hu"
everyone so very busy trying to 3Ms
where got time to "chup"
sg is really like that liao
take care...................
Someone claimed that water had been discharged into the sea at the Marina Barrage. And Sinkies are paying to drink recycled shit water.
ReplyDeleteHow sick are sickies and sinkies?
They are a cohort of abominable most incompetent but most selfish and most self aggrandisements scums. It is not only they pay themselves with sinful salaries of millions of dollars but add in their perts, performance allowance ( don't know what good they have performed anyway) and annual end of the year bonus of twelve to eighteen months, plus directors fees of so many companies, it adds up to many more multiples of millions per year.Why do they need so much money when citizens are struggling to make both ends meet.
ReplyDeleteFurther they are stupid to be so pro-west, pro America and India and so bias against China the engine of growth for the world that they are cutting off Singapore from benefiting from China's economic locomotive of commerce, finance, wealth and splendour.
Their brain is dead as it is already colonised by the West especially by USA. But in bullying and taxing the locals with all kinds of illicit taxes they are masters unsurpassed.
White rich can cause diabetics so are all processfood. What about gantang
ReplyDeletethe bananas eat. Any possible increase in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi 1020am
Anger not anger not!
They are the BEST-est talents in SG.
Difficult to find these BEST-est talents, you know?
Anyway 70% OK-ed.
So what can you do?
Or what should we do now from here?
You tell me lah!
Complain no use lah. Do something. Take responsibility. Take ACTION!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Singapore stocks tumbled to 9 months' low!
ReplyDeleteForeigners make up 40% of Sinkieland population.
ReplyDeleteHence we're all drinking 40% foreign shit/urine water.
PAPies will say ... not only foreigners create jobs for Sinkies ... they also create water.
No wonder 70% vote PAPies. GE2020 sure 80%.
Someone trying to shorten our lives to takeover cpf and make up cough up more for healthcare. Water is always the first source of poison used by malicious politicians.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sinkies deserve it. Kpkb for what?
ReplyDeleteJust Shut the fxxk up and suffer quietly. Otherwise, the wolf will come and eat you up. Don't jump from a frying pan into the fire.
You Sickaporeans are born losers. You vote PAP, you get screwed by PAP blood-suckers. You vote Opposition, you afraid what would happen after that.Either way you lose. You have fxxked yourself for the last 50 years. Born losers!

ReplyDelete>> A tax on sugar consumption is simply bizarre <<
Not really lah. This is one of the latest "bright ideas" from the statists running western-democratic welfare states.
Under "Universal Healthcare" (which I am 100% AGAINST)---The State, which has a taxation monopoly in a specified region---can and will do ANYTHING to achieve its policies. UH is funded by TAX. Everyone has to pay TAX.
Since I am being taxed for YOUR healthcare, and you are being taxed for MY healthcare, what we do to our bodies (and minds) is no longer our individual business, but the business of EVERY TAXPAYER. (This is why I am 100% Universal Healthcare!!)
If you smoke, drink, eat too much fat or sugar, don't exercise, engage in 'risky' activities...or anything else which has a probability of you being an EXPENSE to the UH system, then it is my business because I'm paying.
Nearly every item of processed food has sugar, salt and fat in them.
During our evolution (hunter-gatherer time) sugar, salt and fat were SCARCE. So our body-minds evoloved to REACT STRONGLY (i.e. super attraction) to sugar, salt and fat purely for survival purposes. Our biological imperitive is to propagate our genes into subsequent generations.
We didn't evolve to be 'rational' or to 'think about stuff'. Conciousness is an 'epiphenomenon' i.e. just a lucky 'by product' of our biology . And we know that our brains are quirky: most of the time in 'normal life' they work great. But in unfamiliar and risky environments...not so much!
Salt-sugar-fat, when combined (like in cakes, curry puffs, char kway teow etc) are super attractive to our primitive brains. So we eat and eat, get fucking fat, then develop (preventable) diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression, dementia and so on.
Ref: Micahel Moss---"Salt, Sugar, Fat" https://n.pr/2M7XPXQ
Latest science shows that fat deposits are METABOLICALLY ACTIVE and produce all sorts of nasty stuff. Also the emerging science on the microbiome (the guts) suggests that we don't know as much as we thought we did.
Be prepared for a FAT tax next. If you buy cooking oil or butter, you pay more.
Fuck The Government!
It is basic and fundamental you do not need to be taught by the G, do not let them condition your brain, do not be inference by the complexities of your environment. You are responsible for your own health by doing the necessary things you need to achieve it yourself.when you realize that the one and the only one that can partner with you reaching the end of your life journey is your OWN HEALTHY, It is real awakening.
ReplyDeletePappies can do all these nasty stuff to Singaporeans because they have a political MONOPOLY. Simply by voting to break this monopoly with more than 33% non-pappies voted into Parliament many major problems can be mitigated. Vote out the Pappies for 1 term, they will then learn to kia n respect citizens. Sinkies wake up!!!
ReplyDelete'Sinkies wake up' is already a lost cause nationally.
ReplyDeleteThey would have woken up decades ago if they had heeded the call. But they didn't and are now stuck forever with pay and pay. Complaining now is utterly useless, too ineffective and too late. And they have been lied to about HDB flats appreciating in value forever with asset enhancements over the years. This must be the mother of all lies.
If Hougang people could wake up decades ago, why not the rest?
Being kiasu and kiasi ensures that the are now pausu and pausi.
When we have people in Parliament drinking the same shit water, I think the quality decline is also evident in MPs like the 4Gs.
ReplyDeleteThe truth hurts when the reality hits.
KPKB for fuck?!?!
ReplyDeleteJust go JB buy lah. They won't have GST, sugar tax, fat tax, salt tax, fuck tax for a long long time.
2nd back-up will be Batam.
Fuck also must KPKB. KPKB stimulates.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteDon't be angry. Don't kpkb!
Be a SMArt naTIOn. Think out of the box. Here is a solution.
If you want to avoid water tax, just buy some pails.
Collect rain water......it is FREE!
Correct?
After increase in water tax, next in line will be sugar tax. GST increase has already been decided. Conservancy charges has already been increased.
ReplyDeleteAfter that it will be plastic tax, now that China is not taking our plastic waste.
Desperate situations require desperate measures.
@ Virgo
ReplyDeleteYou need to find out more mate...
Sugar does not cause diabetes. There are many factors which lead to Type 2. Type 1 is the body "eating itself up" ie your autoimmune system cock up ๐คฃ๐
===================
@ 147 "hoping things don't change":
>> Collect rain water......it is FREE!
Correct?<<
For the moment, yes. You are right. However if water scarcity eventuates, rest assured the SG.GOV will no doubt copy Colorado---where MARIJUANA is legal, but collecting rain water on your property is ILLEGAL.

Hope he can beat Heng Ah or Ah Long cos these r the Titans of Sinkieland leh.
Hello Matilah, I posted Diabetes NOT only sugary drinks.
ReplyDeleteI know what's Type I and II.
Type I, unfortunate souls Auto-immune.Pancreas malfunctioning.
Needed insulin jabs. Many of them are even more fir than non diabetics as they been drummed by their dieticians on their food and health.
Type II, loss of pancreas functions through the Years of abuses and non taking care of their diets.Could progress to Type I if not careful and medical care is exboriant in having non subsidised insulin medications.
Many foodstuffs besides sugar have more sugary stuffs than sugar itself.
Cheers
The maker of the Stinkyland Shit water - aka High-Fcuk is getting its retribution currently. In the Shit Times newspaper report the MD of company given a 6mths respite from its creditors ( a wholly sum of S$1.8b in debts!), the effect of drinking these shit waters is greater than the sugary water ones, one is unseen the other is visible. Nobody knows wat kind of diseases Sinkies will get later in their lives when they keep drinking these shitty waters & no ones can guarantees that it is a complete safe for drinking, someone predicted that Sinkies genes or hereditary symptoms will become worse & a rare kind if a zombie like mutation gonna take place in Sinkies subjecting to subservient control with absolute power by their rulers is imminent to their demise & perishes.
ReplyDeleteEating too much salt is bad, to help you, there will be a salt tax.
ReplyDeleteEating too much fat is bad, to help you there will be a fat tax.
Eating too much carbo is bad, to help you there will be a carbo tax.
Not knowing what is silliness is bad, to help you there will be a silly tax.
They have not yet introduce GST in Geylang. Akan datang.
ReplyDeleteNext time the PAP will charge each voter $500 for voting PAP.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Government will tax 50% on the $500 charged by PAP.
Drinking shit water has made the peasants of Little Red Dot stupid. But the rulers are not stupid leh? They can raise the price of shit water by 30% and force the peasants to drink more shit water by making other drinks very expensive. They can also think of many kinds of taxes, can lie and act like professionals and tell very good fairy tales. Maybe they don't drink shit water like the peasants but pure mountain spring water?
ReplyDeleteHifuk makes shit water as garment darling. Garment pappies tell sillyzens good water to drink.
ReplyDeleteHifuk makes expensive Elow water.
So shitwater no clean? Oliver pls tell us? Dont Hia us.ok?
Is there any adverse effect on a person's brain from drinking re-cycled urine?
ReplyDeleteNobody knows as nobody ever conducted any study, and its influence on wise voting could be understated.
Old Fart ONLY drank Perrier water at 16-18 degrees celcius. Nothing else.
ReplyDeleteOne time during a public conference, a waiter served him a Perrier that had already warmed up to 20+ degrees.
Old Fart flew into a rage & he asked his bodyguards track down the conference director to have the waiter fired. But his wife cooled him down to change his mind.

ReplyDeleteQuestion: "Is there any adverse effect on a person's brain from drinking re-cycled urine?"
Answer: Perhaps the level of intelligence (or the lack of it) in the above (30+) comments constitutes ("empirical data" of the extent of) the "toxic" and "damage done" in their "boLEES and minds"? Many others (who nvr comment) could be "nao cang" (in Chinese literally for "mentally crippled")?
Aka US korean peninsular diplomatic term for denuke: "CVID" (Complete, Verifiable, Irreversible Denuclearisation)?
Here it stands for "Complete, Venomous, Irreversible Damage" (to the "boLEES and brains")?
Diabete is not caused by drinking sweet drinks or sugar unless one has inherited Type 1 diabetes from genetic disposition. Generally, one is more prone to diabetes through lifestyle - poor eating habit and diet, lack of physical activities etc. The health minister's hinting to recommend sugar tax is another excuse to collect more revenue and nothing else. Since the last GE, they have been increasing taxes on almost all basic needs like water, electricity, S&C, hourly & season parking fee, ERP, etc. This present lot of new PAP is insincere and lacking in ideas. They have no solutions except raise taxes and GST.
ReplyDeleteAfter maxing out on the easy way to growth by importing foreign trash, the next easy way to increase garment revenue is by taxing the people.
ReplyDeleteHypocrisy, incompetence & self-enrichment is now n has been for sometime the standards of the MIW.
ReplyDeleteModern slavery is here. Elusive, discreet, silently working through a system that enslaves all peasants to toil their whole life, and ended up with that elusive retirement dream.
ReplyDeleteOur CPF for retirement have been wiped out with the high cost of HDB flats, due to the purposeful open leg influx of foreigners, that pushed up property prices through the roof. On top of that, all the CPF schemes are formulated to hijack the rest of the money in CPF, to make sure Sinkies have to work until they drop, in order to survive the high cost of living and help grow the GDP.
Is this any different from slavery of the days of old?
Rise up!Be brave to create a new world all over again.
ReplyDeleteBut how? The olddies are weak. The young are immature. The middle are cowards and too selfish and stupid.
