Budget surplus possibly four times higher than initial estimate: OCBC

Confuseous

That's a whopping $5bn.

Singapore’s FY2012 budget surplus may surprise on the upside, said OCBC Treasury.

"Based on our estimates, the FY12 budget surplus could come in as high as $5b, which if it materializes would be about fourfold of the initial estimated FY12 budget position of $1.27b. This is potential testament to the fact that while headline GDP growth was very modest at 1.2% yoy last year, receipts from corporate and personal income tax, GST, motor vehicle taxes, stamp duty and other fees & charges have been buoyant for the year-to-date FY2012."

Huat ah, ministers.

Why should the government take the hard earned surpluses of hard working productive Singaporeans to fund the losers of our society?

But will LEEgime distribute some of the surplus to help alleviate the financial burden of Singaporeans who need help?
