Singapore Budget 2012
"Balanced". "Inclusive". "Insufficient". "A new normal". "Geared for long-term growth". "Shape up or ship out". Indeed, much has been said on Singapore Budget 2012.
The Government trained its sights firmly on long-term challenges, mapping out a Budget to steer Singapore on a path to becoming a more inclusive and stronger society. Targeted measures were rolled out to tackle - and in some cases, pre-empt - emerging problems that could thwart that vision. (Straits Times, 18 February 2012)
