Find this year's Singapore Budget bears a unique presentation.There seems to be an overall design emphasis. Am wondering who did the infographics. But I'll let the pictures do the talking.
[A] Front Page
Grow and share. A nice front page from the Ministty of Finance.
[B] the map of the budget
Opening up the pamplet, the bright infographics clearly illustrates the various benefits that different income groups would receive. The poorer ones get to paid out more. But I feel that this is only a temporary solution. What could be far more permanent is the supply of good jobs.
[C[ Other benefits
The back of the folded pamplet highlights the other benefits -- ranging from providing for the elderly to needy and onwards to enhancing skills and professional upgrading. Mostly targetting towards the lower income group which is most effected by the global economic downturn.
[D] Lower income group
Find this a little hard to swallow when you know how much a typical 3 room flat costs these days: anywhere around US$ 250,000 and up. With a monthly family income of only about US$1500, the government aims at slashing thier tax contribution and adding in training subsidies.
[E] The middle class...
A tyical middle class family is illustrated as having a US$4500 per month income, with financial assistence for education.Wondering where is the upper class but I doubt they need any help at all

enjoy the singapore budget 2011...looks like change has come.. Combating global inflation isn't going to stop here. I expect bubble burst in the property sector, with a new round of economic woes unless we make some proper leeway. Cheers for now. - Karen Fu
