there are some things which are beyond the control of the MIW..
the idiots think that the MIW can control everything... hell, there
was one asshole who went to complain to the MP about the hot
weather!
that being said, shit like oil prices, food prices, commodity
prices cannot be blamed on the MIW...
however, the problems with prices like housing and wages lie
squarely on the lousy policies of the MIW...
some things like rent, can be partially blamed on the MIW... but
mostly, it is the landlords who are gouging the tenants... you
can't blame the greed of the landlords on the MIW (granted, they
are also landlords and VERY VERY greedy)
give blame where it is due.. else all arguments will be
pointless due to lack of credibility
I agree. Inflation for the whole world is up. Food shortage due
to flood, drought, unforseen seasonal change and chaos have caused
everything to go up. What we didn't need is for the government to
add the burden to the people; such as tariff, rents, medical cost
and housing price escalation.
On the whole, the people's wages have not increased due to
competition from "foreign talent" where they are prepared to take
on the jobs at a lower wages. This may benefit the employers but
overall it benefited the government when the levy was
increased.
What is worst is the hap-hazard ways in which policies were
churned out to appease the citizens when they wantonly increased
the minimum wages of the S-Pass and E-Pass holders thinking that by
doing so, the jobs would go to the citizen.
How wrong can they be? Did they not realised that these is going
to cost the businesses more? Did they realise that our locals are
calling for the wage increase too? Did they realised that such
unplanned increased are going to eat into the companies profits. If
the SME cannot sustained the increase, the SME is going to closed
shop. Utilmately, the citizens will suffer.
