should have intergrated with SG MRT system..instead they build a smaller train cart like the lrt lol..
This is the solution for cheaper housing for locals?by moving them out of their country
Oh, and might the Committee Against Profiteering (CAP) be able to short-circuit this transmission of GST to higher prices?
Rm5 for Malaysians only similar to KTM.
hope the ticket is going to be reasonable low... but then again since so much ppl go to JB,even if skyhigh price also LL...
Ok, even if the Johore Bahru-Singapore RTS can complete in time on 2026, i guess the ticket fare will be damn expensive and the human queue to clear the custom on both side will be very long, especially on the Johore Bahru side and the waiting time maybe the same as those who drive in and out on both country.
famous roti prata😅😂😂😂
Ok
will this last?
Land travel from Punggol to Pasir Gudang please.
Alas, it is an almost impossible task. The scope of the CAP is limited by the ability to pin a disproportionate price rise to the GST hike, and the GST hike alone.
Better high speed railway Indonesia by speed 350 km/ h. The best in southeast
Jamus I never got a satisfactory answer, nor do I expect one (if you have a good way to identify the decomposition, let me know, we can work on a research paper together). The difficulty is why I believe that raising GST at a time of generalized inflation is foolhardy.
Important is singapore had changed to a multi-nation country (multi-nation-singapore) so even with the saf soldiers also no use, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
That’s why an exemption at the level of the government makes sense. If there is no GST being charged, then there is no GST burden to be borne by any party, directly or indirectly. There’s no need to putz around with rebates, which the middle classes and above don’t enjoy, anyhow. And since these are essentials that everyone buys, there’s a simple moral case for why everyone should enjoy the relief.
Jamus WP had asked once, in Parliament, how the CAP could be expected to distinguish between a price rise that opportunistically used the GST hike as an excuse to raise prices by more than 1 percent, versus one that was genuinely premised on increases in, say, costs due inflation.
The bottom line is that, inasmuch as the effort to get merchants to absorb the GST increase may be appreciated, it is largely irrelevant, from the point of view of policy. As long as a GST is being charged, the party that can less afford to alter their behavior-this would generally be the consumer, since these items are, after all, essentials-will feel the pinch of the increase.
Those who have taken an introductory economics course will be aware that, when a tax is introduced, it doesn’t matter whether the tax is charged to the firm or the consumer. What matters is the relative responsiveness of demand and supply (what is called the elasticity) that determines the burden borne by each party.
