This is the 144th State Media reporting from Peesai Land:
The falling prices of used cardboards had hit the dealers badly.
1 Kg of cardboard which used to fetch 25 cents a year ago
is now worth less than 10 cents.
25% of Peesai Land’s Ah Peks and Ah Mahs depend on picking used
cardboards to sell to the dealers for a living.
According to Mdm Bo Lui Jiak (no money to eat), 80, the
decreased income means that now she has to work 6 additional
hours at night from 8pm to 2am just to buy one packet of Orr
Tau Peng (black bean rice).
Her conscientiousness is praised by Jiak Liao Bee Minister Vivi
Bala LJ who said that this will enable the government to scale
down the allowances for this group of elderly from S$330 to S$290
thereby saving more money to bail out ailing banks overseas.
“After all, they don’t need to eat three meals a day at a
restaurant, one packet of black bean rice is more than enough for
them.” he said.
Mr Bo Lui Kai (no money to spend), 77, is worried that
he may not save enough money to buy himself a decent coffin after
he died.
Fortunately for him, Peesai Land’s First Word government has
already come up with a solution.
