Do you know that high COE prices is one of the main generators of the $3.45b surplus for the PAP Government in 2016? And yet despite squeezing the man in the street with a range of taxes, it spends the least (17.9% of GDP) among developed countries?
At the same time, Lee Hsien Loong's cabinet has been expanding in size with the appointment of 2 ministers for education, 2 ministers for trade and industry and 3 coordinating ministers and 1 minister without portfolio (Chan Chun Sing).
Why does a small island need so many ministers? Are we to accept the fact that despite being touted as "top talent" and paid millions, these ministers can't handle the full portfolio individually and need to split their work?
