"THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS NATION BUILDING"
ahhem. you are welcome. Except that it wasn't a voluntary contribution, just to let you know. And that was quite a mind-boggling fair bit of moolah, so please, put it to good use. Here's my personal wishlist that i hope my money will be used for:
1. Job creation for Singaporeans please, jobs for the young, jobs for the retrenched middle aged, jobs for the old. Lots and lots of jobs for everyone. (Everyone = singapore citizens, not foreign workers ok??)
2. Better public transport. See, i contribute such a fair bit of $$ to you yearly that i have to take public transport like the bus and MRT. Show some gratitude to poor middle income workers like me. Build a MRT station near my house asap please? I can't possibly wait till 2020. Thats like 11 more years! I should think that i would be able to afford my own transport by then... So, basically, increased frequency for MRT and BUS rides and lower fares. And please, more MRT seats! Replace those seats that you removed. No one likes to stand on the MRT ok?
3. A more vigilant defence force. First we let Mas Selamat run away, then we let him swim to Johor. Considering that we are just a dot on the map, what are our police coast guards doing? Let's get serious now and hire more police/ guards if needed. You can always tap into the "NATION BUILDING FUND" that i just contributed to. I'm sure that the amount would increase tenfolds after this month.
4. More transparency on how my money is used and how its being invested. We all know how much GIC lost due to the bad investments, so how is GIC going to make the money back? And frankly speaking i don't feel comfortable with Temasek Holdings headed by a foreigner. He has no stake in Singapore and doesn't have to feel responsible for our money. It's just a job for him, if he screws up, he can just resign and go home. But what about Singaporeans? It's our money and this is our homeland. We have to get someone whom we can trust to manage the money right?
That's all i can think of for now on where my money should be put to use. Let's see, next year when i HAVE to contribute towards "NATION BUILDING" again, how well they have fared according to each item.
P.S.: By the way, even though there is rebate but my nation-building-contribution amount has increased! It really doesn't make sense, i have got no pay increment, minimal bonus but higher amt of contribution to make? Item no. 5.: Please reduce the amount next year. By like 50% ok??
TO MR NATION BUILDING FUND COLLECTOR,
YOU ARE WELCOME TO RECEIVE MY INVOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION. THE MONEY WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT ON MONDAY, PLEASE CHECK CAREFULLY AND UPDATE THE RECORDS ACCORDINGLY.
CHEERS AND GOOD RIDDANCE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS.
