I went to the wet market this morning and was surprised to find that it was not crowded unlike previous years.
Singapore must be having real economic problems to see such muted celebrations for Lunar New Year
Less foreign workers
Less people on the road
Less shoppers
Rentals are lower
Goods are cheaper
Cost of living is lower
Low growth is good for Singaporeans as they dont benefit from high growth but have to pay for higher cost of living
We are all celebrating LNY overseas in hip places like Osaka and Kyoto. No time to mingle with poor people.
Wet market is for poor FTs PMET Pinoys and Ah Nehs who work for free for PAP GLCS.
Happy chnese new year to everyone here. 新年快乐。
High gdp growth is good for see fart loong but bad for Singaporean.
Low gdp growth is good for Singaporean but bad for see fart loong.
So da best is average gdp growth .
Yes, good GDP growth is good for PAP and the bosses because they dont share the fruits of growth equitably
Bad economy is good for singaporeans
Less foreign workers
Less people on the road
Less shoppers
Rentals are lower
Goods are cheaper
Cost of living is lower
Low growth is good for Singaporeans as they dont benefit from high growth but have to pay for higher cost of living
one nuclear bomb will solve all the problems on this island.
haha!
Back in 2004 I thought about this. An economically successful Singapore would bring about more competition. Property prices would go higher. COE prices would go higher. Population would increase. Costs would go higher. Life would be harder and harder and more competitive with each passing generation. Doesn't sound very enticing.
But then with a situation where Singapore property prices fell by half to more "affordable levels" that would mean some kind of economic collapse, and "affordable" is relative right? Would salaries remain high? COE prices fall to half.....same. Population decrease.....not good for Singapore economically. Costs drop. Life became easier and easier........sounds more like Singapore would have collapsed already.
So staying in Singapore is a no win situation. The problem is not the government. It is not the PAP. It is the small tiny land space and the stinky culture Kiasu Kiasee Singaporean mindset that is the problem.
hence I decide to migrate. Stay in Singapore to fight for what? Tiny dot and stinky people. I have better things to do with my life. But that is just me. You guys fight the good fight.
U sure bad economy good for sinkies? You mind retrenchment, pay cut or stagnant pay?
one nuclear bomb will solve all the problems on this island.
That's right wing bullshit.
a nuclear bomb dropped on SG will destroy Singaporeans and PAP is true
a nuclear bomb will kill the aged cardboard collector and also LHL. So who loses more in life when hit by a nuclear bomb?
the reverse is true. A 10% economic growth benefits LHL more than the aged cardboard collector. So low growth wont affect the cardboard collector
Good Morning my fellow activist, Wish you a happy lunar new year and full force with you in bashing the PAP.
Very true and insightful.
