wanting low cost and high standard of living is a contradiction

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

This fucking PAP.

some of the costs can be attributed to the MIW...

but not all.. to blame everything on the MIW is to lose credibility..

pick your fights.. this fight is best left for after the big ones are won...

there cost of food is going through the roof, and i don't mean the hawker centre food prices.. worldwide, the price of food commodities went up around 3.5% just LAST MONTH!

if you think the MIW can control that, please join the queue behind the guy who went to complain to the MP about Singapore's weather being hot...

whining and whinging about things out of our control gives fuel to the MIW about the people being "childish and immature".. giving them even more excuses to treat us like children...

maybe we do deserve it... seeing how the majority of Singaporeans behave..

" price of food commodities went up around 3.5% just LAST MONTH!"

price of vegetarian bee hoon was $2.00, now $2.50, chicken rice was $2.00, then $2.50, now $3.00 and so on..........

n these are 3.5% increment?

my lunch in sg can go up to $7 if on a budget, ironically :). One chicken rice and one laksa or maybe one cha siew rice and one dessert, throw a drink in. Easily right.

Eat macdonald la,

One double cheese burger and one super small coke for only 3 dollar.

Somemore the food is full of fat and full of preservative, so it will stay in your stomach for a longer period of time and you will feel less hungry for longer.

Gedanken SG

Agree with Bear - we certainly need to account for factors other than the Morons In White. Hell, the knock-on effect of fuel-price changes is enough to send everything spinning out of control.

That said, it'll be a pity if the $3 meal disappeared - for me it's always been one of the best things about popping back into Singapore.

I'm just waiting for the news article about Singaporeans bringing weighing scales to hawker centres.

Counting's no use if the slices are thinner.

Can't blame them

If you compare the prices of raw pork belly last year around this time and now, prices has increased by at least 50%

Prices go up because rental goes up. & rental in SG is pretty spectacularly ridiculous.

Read in a post somewhere that some hawkers are pledging to maintain their prices in the face of rising costs. Someone brgt up an excellent point then – what about the govt ? Is the govt also gg to do its part and not increase rental costs ?

Our govt is unfortunately so fixated on increasing their budget surplus that they can’t focus on the welfare of the people. I mean, they earn a million dollars a year on ERP ?? & they are considering raising the GST ? I do agree that we shouldn’t cross subsidize industries / functions but perhaps they should stop fleecing the people.

& they wonder why all the nations’ talents flee the country

May-yuen SG

oops, i meant a million dollars a day on ERP..
