bryanseb SG Should we protest to the government that our daily cost has risen? I know there's some things can be cut down by its cost. Like the taxi fares, towards city fares can BE reduced. Like taxi fares, other things can be reduced too. If u noticed, some of the things sold in singapore, does it cost too much (when it doesn't really that much)? Have your say here.[/b] Agree with this post?

^spidee^ SG To stage an outdoor protest, please remember to apply for permit from the police, otherwise it will be deemed an illegal gathering if there are more than 4 people.
4getmenot SG if you want to protest and thegathering exceeds 4 people, you need to head down to the nearest police station and apply for the permit or you and your mates will be apprehended in case u didn't know tat..
Coquitlam SG Best solution is to leave like what many of us have done..There will be costs everywhere but at least what we earn is much more.... Adios
Squiggly SG Some of us can't leave, even if we want to. No specialised skills, no money, no job, so many mouths to feed... etc. For the more well-educated ones, maybe. Singapore, such a developed nation, possibly has one of the worst social welfare system.
Coquitlam SG Yup I know and recognize that….there are those that cannot get out even if they want to and for that…there are some of us who would try to get them over….bear in mind that if sillypore can get FTs in, don’t forget that we also can get FTs into overseas places as well as overseas places are also suffering for labor shortage
kaister SG You're seriously not familiar with Singapore's culture. Protest is unofficially not allowed. All the past protests, as far as I recall, all ended with protestors suffering. It cannot be done. Then again, why protest against cost rise? It's part of inflation, you should protest against other more meaningful issues such as job security, social welfare (if there's any), or elitism (See Wee-Wee incident).
^spidee^ SG Inflation is the increase in the general price level, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A basket of goods is used to compare annual changes in the index, which usually contains a number of the most commonly bought food and household items. Hence, when the price of these goods increase (e.g. increase in the price of bananas in Australia due to Cyclone Larry), among other things, the CPI increase. You can find Singapore's CPI figures from 2001 to Aug 2006 (2004 is the base year) on page 56 of this document: http://www.mas.gov.sg/dataroom/download/msb/september%202006%20Vol%2027%20No%209.pdf
