Singapore have sinkie, thailand have thaikie.
I dun think so, just another way of using money to make them look useful. They run the country for so many years and pple are still as sinkie as ever.
This is due to the fact of too much control in the media and regulations of all things unnecessary.

20% personal tax rebates
SINGAPORE has announced personal income tax rebates of 20 per cent, capped at $2,000.
Announcing this, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam told Singapore's parliament that this will cost the government a total of $457 million for FY 2009.
To support families in this current economic downturn, the government is also doubling the GST credits that households will receive in 2009.
It will spend $580 million in total with an immediate GST credit handout on March 1st. This will be on top of the allocation of GST credits already planned for in July.
Further, he announced additional rebates to Housing Board service and conservancy (S&C) and rental charges to relieve household spending.
One- to three-room HDB flat owners will get bonus rebates of one to three months; larger flats will receive one to two months; while eligible rental flats will receive a one-month rental rebate.

so 40% goes to the GLC while tenants only get a 15% deduction?
The budget...my judgment will come later. For now though I do believe that if you want to restore confidence in the system, then you need to restore trust, and to do that you need accountability and you have to be transparent because of that.
Until the government does that extensively, there will be some questions asked by some people on the effectiveness of this budget.

I think the budget is great. It is a bold and stimulating one. Hope it will help Singapore to the maximum.

1st-time reserve drawn-down
SINGAPORE'S government is seeking for the first time to fund its fiscal plans from its savings.
Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said the government plans to spend $4.9 billion on two new anti-recessionary measures, a jobs credit scheme and Special Risk-Sharing Initiative, to be introduced this year.
Unveiling a $20.5 billion Resilience Package, he told Parliament that the president had given in-principle approval for an actual draw on past reserves.
In past years, the government had refrained from doing so. Mr Tharman said the government had made its case to the president and his advisors based on the 'extraordinary' circumstances.
He added that the $4.9 billion is earmarked for the two temporary measures. Of the $4.9 billion, $1.1 billion of the reserve spending will be incurred in FY 2008; the remaining $3.8 billion is to be spent in FY 2009.
He emphasised that the Singapore government will not be borrowing to fund its budget needs - a move which other governments have undertaken to the detriment of their sovereign credit ratings.
'We have substantial reserves for Singapore, well in excess of our liabilities,' Mr Tharman said. 'They are a valuable asset for us in responding to this unprecedented crisis.'
The government has refrained from dipping into its reserves when it ran budget deficits previously.
The assets have been 'painstakingly accumulated' and shouldn't be squandered on wasteful programs, then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong told parliament in 1999.
