Have you seen such billboards around your neighbourhood? Ever wondered how much they cost? A netizen wrote in to enquire how much the billboards cost in 2010.
"As tall as a bus. Unneccessary waste of taxpayer money.
In 2010, I wrote to this same Ang Mo Kio Town Council to ask how much these billboards cost.
They replied:
$3,300 per billboard.
$50 for electricity to light each board from 7pm to 7am every day for a month.
I don't know how much they cost now."
Do you think the billboards are worth the taxpayers money spent? Do we want to see their faces everytime we go by the billboard? I guess the MIW like to show off their faces to the world. Reminding us that they are in power.
