Singapore Budget 2007 Revealed

Mayor Joe Quimby ( A Character from The Simpsons )

Yesterday, Second Minister for Finance (Singapore), Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam delivered the Singapore Budget Speech for the financial year of 2007 in Parliament. Almost instantaneously, I recalled a few lines from The Simpsons which I found to be rather apt.

-------

Barlow: Mr Mayor, I have a question for you. You're are well known, sir, for your lenient stance on crime. What if YOU came home one night to find YOUR family tied up and gagged, with SOCKS in their mouths. They're screaming. You're trying to get in but there's too much BLOOD on the knob!!!
Quimby: What is your question about?
Barlow: It's about the budget, sir.

Funny stuff, I've been having spasms all morning.
