Bus fare in Malaysia goes up by 20% at 1 go... Even the Malaysian yellow buses running in Singapore will increase bus fare by $0.30 - $0.40 at 1 go. No changes to SBS fare for 160/ 170

Here is bet 2-5%

... if we include Singapore ministers' salaries that are higher than even those in some develop-ed countries.

The cost of living in Singapore is also among the highest in developing countries. While Singaporeans may enjoy the highest pay among developing countries, that does not mean their spending power is also the highest.

When people complain of rising costs, they are actually complaining of the reduction in spending power they have.

Not really. Around K.L. also very expensive. Most expensive city in Malaysia is K.L. follow by Johor Bahru, then places around K.L. Places like Mersing, Segamat and Batu Pahat are still very cheap in terms of say food where you can still get RM2.50 for a plate of Char Kuay Tiao. Even in terms of Housing prices there, once you get out of J.B., it is possible to get a terrace for around RM90K.

Then maybe, driven by desperation, the poor masses will finally give the government the lynching it so rightly deserves.

Unfortunately that's the case in every capitalist society. That's why so many young people are joining the PAP, even at the expense of their conscience.. in the hope that they'll one day break into the ranks of the elite, cross the rich-poor divide and be in possession of unimaginable riches..
