Real Interesting Acronymns of Singapore.

This is interesting.....


In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB)(Housing
Development Board) or Houses Done Badly,
And most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP). (People's Action Party)
Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB). (Public Utilities
Board).

If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) (Public Works Department) and get more from you.
So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)? (Ministry of Environment).

With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS),(Monetary Authority of Singapore) you are forced to Pay the Sum Ahead (PSA), (Port Singapore Authority)
Which will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks (POSB). (Post Office Savings Bank)
And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA) system. (Land Transport Authority).

When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital (MOH),(Ministry of Health)
You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral (CPF)*Central Provident Fund) fund.

If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) (National University Hospital) to treat you,
And you will Sure Give up Hope (SGH). (Singapore General Hospital)

To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).(Certificate of Entitlement)
If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raising Prices (ERP) (Electronic Road Pricing)on the roads.

If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT), (Mass Rapid Transit)
OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS)(Singapore Bus System) or So Badly Shaken.

Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax,
Not even the good old place we used to go because it has become
So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!! (Sentosa is an island resort
of Singapore).
