From the last erection, its the PAP's intention to raise GST to 10% and higher. I am not surprise that they will want to do it sooner. But with 3 years to the next erection and the bloody nose they got from the last one and the general unhappiness, I think PAP is very afraid of the consequences. That is why they have not raised it yet. But knowing Pinky,,he might just do it cos he can,,,he is not a far sighted person and an incompetent leader.
