📷Monthly Author Challenge #2.20 - And Darkness shall prevail | 黑暗降临 (by @ace108)

Yesterday, the Singapore Budget was announced in the parliament. The GST, that's Goods and Services Tax, will be raised from 7% to 9%. Not now, not next year but between 2021 to 2025. There were signs that it will be raised before the announcement. Some expected it to go to 10%. Are we supposed to be happy with 9%? I don't know. I think, it's the retailers going to be happy. Especially those selling big ticket items. I think people will be buying them before the GST increase. Taking loans maybe. This should be good for the banks. How about buying some more bank shares?
昨天,新加坡财政预算案在国会宣布。 消费税7%提高至9%。 不是现在,不是明年,而是2021年至2025年。在宣布之前,有人猜将会升到10%。 我们应该快乐吗? 我不知道。 我自知道零售商会很高兴。 特别是那些卖贵重的物品的。 我认为人们会在消费税增加之前购买它们。 也许还会贷款。 这对银行应该是有益的。不如再买多点银行国票。
What are you going to buy?
你会买什么?

Nomination | 提名
I have nominated some before and I’m sure she will join but not going to nominate anyone this time but I’ll tell you in the #sevendaybnwchallenge, I was nominated by @ballinconscious and I nominated others. Now, I wonder if anyone will do it voluntarily. Am I the one who brought #sevendaybnwchallenge to the #cn community? Am I the one who will bring this Steemit Monthly Author Challenge to the #cn community?
我提名过别人而且深信她会参加。这次就不打算提名其他人参加但要告诉大家在七天黑白挑战里,我是被 @ballinconscious
提名而我后提名了其他人. 是我把七天黑白挑战带到#cn 区域吗?是我将把每月Steemit作者挑战赛达到#cn 区域吗?

请看我其他帖: @ace108
😟中国的税也很高啊,不过都是含税价格,不分开算。
这可能是更好的方法
@ace108 听到GST = 我全身开始打冷颤,9%啊,人民又要勒紧裤头了~
Oops. 要改。谢谢。
不客气,我也会修改下上面的留言~

You will get used to it. NZ is on 12.5% GST lol
We all know that we'll get use to it. Just that we need to bitch about sometimes now and then. :-)

我想我可能不属于因为要加税就赶着时间节点急忙入手买东西的人吧(车、房除外哈)。如果消费税提高,最可能的是调整自己的购物需求
到头来,过些日子了,还是无奈接受。
Oh no!! 加上10%服务费,下馆子更贵了!
日子越来越难过。
