Singapore Budget 2008

Good news for Singaporean!

In line with the Singapore Budget 2008, all adult Singaporeans aged 21 and above will receive Growth Dividends as part of the Government’s move to share the nation’s surpluses with Singaporeans.

Wohoo! Free money for me! It may not be much but since I am not living in Singapore to experience any hike in the the GST level, it is still consider a bonus for me. I mean who's gonna give me $400 right??

So for Singaporeans out there, don't forget to sign up for your GST Credits. The government has made it so easy to submit your forms (even me in KL can do it) so there is absolutely no reason for you to not have it done unless of course you don't need the money lah..

Cheerio...

Well I think there should be an election soon but Singapore has always been doing this yearly so I (not sure if everyone though) looks forward to the budget....lolzz.. There was once they were giving out what they call they New Singapore Share and everyone call like S$1400! Awesome right!

It's great to read the commentary "Bonanza Budget furthers strategic aims" by Ms Chua Mui Hoong that "the figure is about 62 per cent of the $1.4 billion increased revenue from the hike in goods and services tax (GST) - which means that through the Growth Dividend, the Government is giving back man-in-the-street 60 cents of every extra dollar it collected from the GST hike."
