Two very GL questions from Prelims this year

>1) Singapore govt allocates the largest amount of fiscal budget to the ministry of defence and the MOE. discuss whether the expenditure in defence and education by the singapore govt contributes to the econ goals of efficiency and economic growth. (25) 

2) With economic growth and the singapore govt's move away from direct taxes to indirect taxes, examine the impact on business sales and revenue of various types of gds and services (25)

So typical of HC to set such intellectually stimulating qns...

Cheers,
