Budget results

There were many goodies handed out this year.

There was something for the regular family and more for the lower income family, as usual. This is good. There was something for education, employment, home ownership, philantrophy, arts, training, businesses, economic development, seniors.

I felt it was a pretty good package and I am fully supportive of the government putting back S$4billion into our reserves. This was money that was drawn out of the reserves when we were facing challenging times before.

I haven't read the budget speech in detail so I'll give more comments later.

The Singapore government has always been very effective at managing its budget. Goh Keng Swee left a fantastic legacy indeed. Thanks to him, we have prudent and wise policies in place. Thank you.
