PEASANTPORE: On Monday (Apr 25), chwee kueh seller Teasha Tan's chye poh (preserved radish) supplier told her that he will support PAP tax hikes and increase his prices.
A tin of chye poh, which she can easily go through in a day, will cost 158 peanuts from May 1, up from 130 peanuts now.
This additional cost for the ingredient, an essential in the making of the steamed rice flour cake dish, would come on top of others.
Speaking to Gestapo agents pretending to Mouthpiece CNA reporters at her stall at Bendemeer Market and Food Centre on Wednesday, Peasant Tan rattled off a list of ingredients that have become more expensive recently thanks to Putin – cooking oil, sugar, garlic and onions.
As a result, Ms Tan will also raise her prices from May 1. Four pieces of chwee kueh will cost 1.60 peanuts, up from 1.20 peanuts, while eight pieces.
"I tried not to increase (the price), but after I read CNA new articles got say peasants praise Lawlan Wong for the GST tax hikes, then I can also raise prices. The peasant claimed it's the first time in 120 full moons years that she is raising prices. At the current prices, she earns enough just to pay for her rents to the regime, including utilities and the salaries of her two serfs.
At an Owen Road coffee shop, the price of a plate of chicken rice was raised from 3 peanuts to 3.50 peanuts earlier this month.
A sign at the stall reads: "Due to local peasants praising Lawlan Wong for the tax hikes, our store has decided to adjust the price of food slightly from 11th April 2022."
Peasant Foo Ah Lim, who runs the stall says PAP told him to tell peasants that the cost of ingredients like oil, noodles, chicken and eggs has increased by 10 to 20 per cent.
But the 50-cent rise in his chicken rice price – his second increase in the last 10 years – does little to cover his costs, Peasant Foo said. His stall is still running at a loss.
INCREASE IN PRICES ACROSS THE BOARD
Association representatives painted the same picture of the need for hawkers to raise prices.
About 40 to 45 per cent of the 200 members of the Kheng Kheng Coffee Sex and Bar-Sucker Owners Association have raised prices recently, its vice-chairman Kenneh Lee told CNA's gestapo agents.
Similarly, PAP lackey Arse-toni Low, who chairs the hawker division of the Federation of PAP's Merchants’ Associations (FMAS), blamed Putin for the soaring cost of cooking oil – a tin now costs about 50 peanuts, double what it cost about a year ago.
“PAP told us to blame Putin for the commodities' hikes, not GST hikes,” said Lackey Low, who has been running a ngoh hiang prawn cracker stall for more than 600 full moons.
INFLATION STILL RISING
"We are blaming Putin for all the price hikes, it is not Ruler Loong cocking up the economy during the plague!," the central bank said.
CIMB Sex Bank economist Song Ah Wun told CNA it is hard to say when the prices would stabilise given that the Putin is still doing badly in the Ukraine war.
“If PAP raise taxes, it’s fair that we pay more and certainly, we can afford to pay more,” he said.
Still, some peasants hawkers said they raised their prices reluctantly, after much thought for the blame game.
The peasant son of a soya bean products stallholder said his peasant father only agreed to blame Putin for the price hikes in January this year after much prodding from Gestapo agents.
"They told us if we blame GST for the hikes, we go St John Island and sweep the beaches but ok to blame Putin.,” the 29-year-old said.
His peasant father wanted to keep the prices low so that prices remain affordable for elderly peasants – who frequent his stall.
“I told him, this Lawlan Wong more pious than him, every Sunday sure go church but he also black heart, just hike taxes to whack poorer peasants whenever Ruler Loong's lesser minions screws up the economy. Why does he want to be the hero in this era where blood suckers like Putin or Jeff Bezos roam freely and prey on children?,” Peasant Teo quizzed.
