Are we better off now than 5 years or 10 years ago?

[wMulew]

Any idiot who claims SG is worse off than 5 - 10 yrs ago is lying or a retarded opposition supporting moron. Wages are up, everyone can afford more. 45% of households own cars, meanstream media have open up more. More opposition in Parliament.

Many agreed that the CPF-Life is a scam and booby trap.
Why many Singapore Citizens are very angry ? Because their CPF Money is locked-up and detained by the PAP until 65 years old OR FURTHER at the whims and fancies of the PAP.Please remember tomorrow they can just extend the withdrawal date to 70 or 75 without any consultation with the CPF members. WE WANT OUR CPF MONEY NOW FOR OUR SURVIVAL .DO NOT TELL US TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS TO WITHDRAW OUR CPF MONEY AT 65,SOME MAY BE DEAD BEFORE 65.
THERE MUST BE AN OPTION TO OPT OUT OF THE CPF-LIFE PLAN.

some people already cannot survive this month, no money to eat, hdb few mths never pay, pub few mths never pay, children got no pocket money, jobless no income, sick also. then cpf got around 100k in the OA (ordinary ac, not orachi army). cannot use to tide over, now also feel like jumping off the flat and yet cpf cannot use to tide over? i think a lot of people kill themselves because of all the bills and the down time in life. but no one to help them. they got money, but in cpf! must wait until 65!!! now cannot survive liao still wait until 65??? THOSE WHO SET ALL THESE POLICIES IN CPF WILL BE CURSED AND SUFFER!!!

Real Household income grew 20% in last 10 years as claimed by Singstats, but resale flats went up >100 percent in the last 5 years. COE tripled in the last 10 years, CPF minimum sum has been raised 100% and more for medical minimum sum. Do you feel rich? Your 2 dollar noodle is now 3.5.

The PAP bandits must be burnt in hell !!!

Back then, OUR hard earned Cpf money were promptly returned to us at age 55.

Now they locked up to age 65 and beyond !:oIo:

They cant return u the money when you reached 55yrs b'cos they are all
taken by jinx company, so our gahmen keep on extending payout age from 55 to
65yrs hoping u go b4 u reached that age! than they can chiong kong the money or
dont return to u at all!

 

[evisionary]

5 years ago CPF minimum sum is $96,000 and it is going to be $120,000 by 2015. Having more saving is good but with inflation the value of our money will be so small that it can't cover our basic needs when older. So moving forward will be tougher and we are losing more from now on.

Another retarded opposition supporting moron talking stats using his dick. How does widening gap affects U. Someone becomes richer, does that makes U poorer? Retard

There are many so called the 'new poors' who envy those who can afford bigger car, private house and able to travel to far away places. When you travel to Thailand and greeted with smile from the street hawkers then you realise you are not poor since you still afford to travel there with the young kids and better off than your parents who were contented for being able to visit Genting.

You are absolutely correct

For our honeymoon, you prefer Thailand or Genting?

One has to adapt to situations in order to survive.

If in the civil service, still okay not to adapt. Never rock the stable boat. Outside the civil service, adapting to new situation is key.

 

[GoldenDragon]

10 years ago : Can sit during MRT rides
5 years ago : Can stand during MRT rides
Now : Can't even find space to fart during the rides.

10 yrs ago, $150 to call chicken in Geylang.
5 yrs ago, same same.
Now, sama sama.

Agree. In the civil service, just do what your superior says and your iron rice bowl will be assured eternally even if they're against your conscience. As long as you don't get yourself condemned you'll be safe even if you just act blur. But if you're able to "SAKAR", it will be a great advantage.

congratulations!!! the political stability,despite all the warts and all, give many singaporeans the opportunity to make money!!! those who had missed the boat felt cheated and therefore they feel vengeful and angry...and of course, they are now much poorer!!!

Those who voted PAP, scratch the back of PAP "cadres" will be rewarded handsomely

These days I por PRC moneyed people, also get rewarded. Thery are so happy with the new Australian "PR for money" scheme. Better than Singapore's

U make it sound like its their fault which isnt true.

Those who so called "made it" played the "game" right. They borrowed heavily, using cheap money to ride the inflation wave. Inflation wiped out the value of their debt and hence they got richer; but at the expense of those who didn't borrow excessively.

Inflation pressures came from both abroad (The Feds $$$ printing) and our own MAS (who probably also printed huge amts of $$$ to keep our SGD weak to protect exports); of course we cannot forget Mah Bow Tan who inflated the price of homes to excessive levels for which future generations will suffer.

Those who understood this game of monetary expansion profited immensely; and those who didnt paid for it.
Many didnt borrow and saved their cash, which had its purchasing power stealthily stolen from right under their nose.
