The LTA scheme therefore will not have … Continue reading →

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Phillip Ang

I wrote to MP Janil Puthucheary on 6 March, opining that his proposal for ‘free’ travel was hopeful but unrealistic. Near the end of my letter, I said that “taxpayers end up paying for ‘free travel’”. This is similar to … Continue reading →
