hm.. if i'm not wrong this $1b figure was arrived at after the sale of fixed assets, and not taking into account the extra requirements for infrastructure changes in the next few years, considering that sg is shifting from oil to natural gas.
the figure is therefore a poor indicator. how much of it is really taken out as dividends? if not much, then most of it is going back to the company for infrastructure purposes.
i'm not happy abt price increases as well, but let's not be myopic.
