Doubling rental rates of hawker stalls after renovation

last SG · 2009-05-02T11:52:22+00:00

Yea, in the programme, they said the authorities initially calculated the market rate to be $2000 a month, but have reduced it to $1700 due to 'feedback'Yea,...

Ah Chia SG

a normal couple lets say earn 6k

500k hdb -30k grant

470k loan.

470k/25 years with intreste rate of 3%

they would have to pay 1.6k a month.

lets say they were to eat $3+$1(drinks dollar chicken rice everyday.

$8 X 3 = $24
$24X30 = $720

PUB = $200

other items like toilet paper, condom, kotex, tooth brush
$200

1.6k + 200 + 720 + 200 = 2.7k

just normal living cost you this much.

if really by any way that chicken rice cost $6 per plate as i predicted..

wow...

truly wow

Rermember the resilience package and benefits for households for 2009?

It's payback time for the recipients of these handouts!

Another handout coming your way - for the fresh grads.

Expect another round of increase sometime, somewhere

All those comforting words that the reserves are for a rainy day... we now that that yes, it is for a rainy day to support and bailout foreign companies like Merrill Lynch and Citibank.

During the worse recession all living humans below the age of 70 years have ever seen, it is not considered "a rainy day" and price increases for the cursed despot and cronies, are not abnormal!!!!

... I just watch and laugh, having warned everyone in sgforums that the cursed despot is damaging if not destroying the Singapore economy since July 2007.

10th is for now. In a few years time, expect singapore to rise to the no1 spot.

If I am getting the sort of pay as the pap, after upgrading the food centre I don't mind paying $5 for roti prata

I don't think they eat prata. They want something more classy like French cooking class in France.

Correction: we didn’t give our consent in silence. We protested but they went ahead.

Oh you definitely not frog in the well, you probably come from first world country where people are able to go to the street to protest any shitty policies or actions of their govt.

We’re the frogs in the pot that are slowly being boiled to death. We can only make a lot of noise in the pot but have no power to get out of it much less to turn off the fire!

that's why i'm asking you. if it has been held, why it still happened?

protest in forums ain't gonna get you anywhere you know?

They ignored the voice of the public. If they want something nobody can stop them, tyrannical!

Rock^Star SG

you think when they read letters from the public they bother to do anything. ha ah aha! I have read enough to know that people do sent letters but rejected. They will pick on those that serve their agenda.

This is the sort of govt we have in sg. They run the country like a business, they are the bossess, board of directors and they make us all their slaves and employees. But the truth is it is the other way round, we are the boss, we are assessing their performance, it is the people who vote for them. WE feed them.

no, i'm ok with voicing out of opinions, but no to false facts

Rock^Star SG

what false facts?

hmm... if only something can be done about it. let's just hope that our tiny voice here can at least help to bring it up to the public attention and hopefully in times to come, something can be done about it.
