HANDOUTS, bo tio!

Tagboard is down. Apparently, i tried to tamper with the html code fot that, and now its in a comatose state. Must be the Midas touch. Haa.. Anyways, i realised this year's budget is pretty juicy, and PAP is handing out a whopping 2.6 Bil$. There are several tiers, with the highest one tagged at 800 bucks. Happy wx got 900, turned and reminded me that i have zilch. Argh, and i scrolled down the papers. Damn, there wasnt a kid endowment fund for pple aged 0-20 odd. Thats the bad thing about being a mid-eighties outlier. You miss the baby bonus as well as the handouts. Apparently its only applicable for people aged 21 and above from March 1st. And really it isnt anyone's fault that my parents where not at it, say...7 months before. March 1st only includes live-borns, foetuses not included. sigh. =)

I bet place my bet of two roasted peanuts that PAP is going to announce the elections real soon. So with the juicy payouts, the happy and contented population will link money to PAP, and vote as their wallets approved. This is called recency effect, under one section of availability heuristic, which is the mental shortcuts people take to make sense of their surroundings, which i am trying to appear smart. Ah.

But there's no way that the other fringe parties can match this fat angpow that PAP bestowed to their supporters, with love, signed, sealed delivered. Hmmm..Dr Chee Soon Juan was declared bankrupt because he was sued off his pants by SM Goh and MM Lee. He cant pay the 500k fine slapped unto him for talking too much in such a way that it stepped on PAP's toes. So bankrupt means cannot contest lor. Then there is the worker's party by Mr Low, and the other one by the Potong Pasir Mp, which the name i cant draw to mind now. They don't have the chops of PAP, and besides they have insufficient funds. Anyways, i didn't know that opposition parties where that lacking in the cash, until once they ran a report of the headquarters of these parties. My...one was a ratty-tat of a shophouse front. Even the mama shop near my house looks more ostentatious in comparision. You know, the running rainbow lights. The shophouse is in quite a alarming state.

Sigh, so ya lor...why no kids endowment fund, may i ask. Cause from the time i last checked, i should be able to get 400 bucks, and i promise i will channel some back to S'pores AE. Then, it can credit multiply happily. Maybe they are just worried that if they handout money to the young and the reckless, probably they will spend all. Then PAP will have inflation rate increase to worry about. Tsk..

And i suppose i will bet the returns of the two roasted peanuts, top it up to four roasted peanuts, and bet that PAP will have a landslide win. One people, one nation, one party, one Singapore. YAY.
