subsidized petrol

Petrol kiosk owners
The North, The East and The South
They think about money
They cry of businesses going away

Subsidized petrol for locals
It shouldn’t be sold to foreigners
Even though these tourists bring
Business houses profits

Locals working in Singapore
Owned registered vehicles there
Returning home to pump petrol
Now showing red faces
They shouted it isn’t fair!

Wait a minute
The locals don’t buy local cars
They don’t want to use public transport
Giving economy returns to Singapore
Yet crying foul of the fuel subsidy
Is it fair to the country?

Are the petrol kiosk owners depending on foreigners?
Are they saying locals hardly drive around in the South?
When money is the motivating factor
It is hard to see a straight road

We should enjoy our hard earned benefits
Giving out by the government
