Some political observers said that the PAP is taking a political risk by announcing the GST increase before the upcoming General Election — which must be called by January 2021.
Asked if the Government was concerned that opposition parties would use the GST hike against the PAP, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat says the Government cannot make narrow personal calculations.
Those in position of responsibility must act responsibly and therefore the Government must have the courage to do what is right because "that's how we can serve Singaporeans better", he said.

Popular government does not mean that you do popular things all the time. We do not want to be unpopular or to do unpopular things. But when they are necessary, they will be done.
