If Opposition Wards don't get upgrading because they didn't vote for the PAP, shouldn't they also be exempt from the 2% GST hike? Same logic.

I still can't switch to Blogger Beta because mine falls into the category "A very large blog. (More than a couple thousand posts + comments.)" It also happens to be the only type of blog which can't switch. Gah.
