We’re paying the Englishmen to stage the F1 night race here. Why should we use taxpayers’ money to pay for these races? I have asked this question publicly, but the MOF has never addressed it.
Doesn’t F1 put Singapore on the world map?
What does it mean by putting a country on the world map? I was born in a generation where every cent counts, so I believe we should spend our money wisely, and not on frivolities. Sometimes, I think our present Cabinet spends money on frivolities, and staging the F1 is my “favourite” example.
A Hong Kong delegation asked me what I consider frivolities. In Hong Kong, they have fireworks displays every year. One of the delegates asked me whether I thought it was a waste of public money. If everyone in Hong Kong can see the fireworks, then there is no waste; if only a restricted number of people can see it, then the money spent is wasted.
The taxpayers fund come from your COE, ERP, Expensive HDB and 10% GST.
The poors also pay GST but only the rich can enjoy F1 in Singapore as they can pay F1 tickets. Only the super rich like Ong Beng Seng is making profits from Taxpayers fund.
