Last time i eat one plate of chicken rice, was $2. Now i still only eat one plate of chicken rice, and it costs $3.80. I did not order more, nor ask for anything more. Price has gone up is my fault?

pathetic. $3.80 for an excellent meal, and sinkies are complaining? :rolleyes: :p

yeah true why is food so expensive?if i dont eat,i can save thousands every year.if i dont eat for 10 years i could save tens of thousands of dollars.....food and no min wage is the reason for my poverty....must i resort to eating soursop and vegetarian diet in order to be rich?

food from food courts and hawker centers in sg, is hands down bar none the most affordable compared to any top 20 cities in the world. sinkies don't appreciate how lucky they are when it cums to hot, freshly cooked food. :rolleyes:

NG ENG HEN: IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT COST OF LIVING IS HIGH BECAUSE YOU BUY EXPENSIVE THINGS
Post date: 11 May 2014 - 4:47pm

Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said yesterday that Singaporeans find the cost of living high because we have high aspirations to buy lots of expensive things.

He gave an example of how hand phones have become somewhat of an essential for children these days and most households have TVs and multiple computers.

Ng Eng Hen said that in a sense, cost of living has been going up because people want to have more things per household.

He also noted that real wages (wages after taking into consideration inflation) have been going up.

He was speaking at a dinner held by the Singapore Medical Association attended by over 450 medical professionals, marking the 55th anniversary of the Singapore Medical Association.

He also spoke about what changes need to be seen in the area of healthcare, citing three areas for improvement.

Dr Ng said that we should be focusing more on living well instead of living long. He also suggested that GPs should have a wider scope so that they can help to ease the pressure on hospitals.

Another area where Singapore's healthcare could use improvement is to make healthcare jobs more attractive to Singaporeans.

He also said that doctors need to be socially conscious and they should have a say in how the healthcare industry is run in Singapore.

This is the twisted logic that PAP is famous for ...they want you to live like the seventies to experience a low cost of living. Is that even possible? We don't pay 1970s price for HDB flats, for transportation, for health care etc. Since when is the mobile phone taken into the calculation of cost of living index?
What an idiot, Hen is.

i never even asked that much luxury. i wanted all basic essentials covered by now... like a real european 1st world country! like fucking fuck switzerland which they kept comparing themselves to in the 80s!

is medisave actually free medical care or at least insurance? no.

is food, especially protein and vitamins cheap? maybe. fresh food? probably not.

is water cheap or free? no.

is housing cheap? 1000% definitely no!


fuck they talk about luxuries when basic essentials are madly overpriced! sometimes, like housing, even more overpriced than the luxuries like handphones! you buy a handphone that's a model that's a > 3 years old, it can be cheaper than $50! they want to complain about that? YOU want to complain about that???? especially when employers want you to answer calls after working hours? fly kit la, boy boy!

Those fucking PAPs too much and lie to all of us

THE 700++ BILLIONS IN STINKAPORE SOVEREIGN FUNDS CAME FROM ALL OF US

THE PAPs HOLD DOWN SINGAPOREANS FOR THAT SMEAR OF SHIT ON SOLE OF SHOE LKY TO FUCK AND TO RAPE AND TO TIEW US AND OUR MONEY WHICH
CAUSE THE FUCKING HIGH COST OF LIVING AND NOW THOSE BASTARDS WANT YOU TO THINK THAT YOU ARE THE CAUSE AND NOT THEM.




Kill them all PAPs
Let GOD sort out the good from the really bad ones
The good PAPs can then eat joss sticks and candle wax from time to time
The bad PAPs like smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY will be raped and tiewed and kanned by legions of ghouls and demons and not ever
get time off to eat joss sticks and candle wax

Hang those PAP maggots cockroaches with piano wires from lamp posts to make them dance before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.

BBQ those PAP maggots cockroaches before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.

Cut a few more arseholes into those PAP maggots cockroaches to let out their shit before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.

Make those PAP maggots cockroaches eat joss sticks and candle wax before it is too late and we have no more CPF to get back.


None of those in PAP work for anyone but that smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY, to help him hold down Singaporeans to screw and fuck hundreds of BILLIONs from us all into smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY stinkapore sovereign funds.

They are there in PAP because LKY know that they are a bunch of self serving greedy bastards and scrapings of scums of society. To call them maggots cockroaches will be to insult real maggots and real cockroaches.
LKY will never allow good decent people into the PAP and good decent people will not want to get into the PAP.

Those in PAP are the most corrupt and moral degenerates and moral bankrupts and moral filths that are being presented to stinkaporeans as moral compasses.

Despite the leeching and fucking of singaporeans by the cheebye PAP and LKY, Singapore still managed to survive to date.
Despite their being hung as a fucking millstones around the necks of Singaporeans and the idiocy and corrupt manipulations of PAP and LKY, Singapore still not dead yet.

WE ALL ARE NOW WAITING FOR THE DEATH OF LKY IN COMING DAYS OR WEEKS.
WE ALL WILL YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AND YUM SENG AGAIN AND AGAIN DANCING SINGING ON TABLE TOPS AND STREETS

WE THEN WILL SEE THOSE IN PAP WITH SHARPENED KNIVES HOOTING ARSEHLOON A DOZEN NEW ARSEHOLES AND THE DEATH OF THE ENTIRE LEE KWA CLAN

WE THEN WILL PICK UP PIANO WIRES AND HANG ALL THOSE REMAINING PAP AND THEIR COLLABORATORS FROM LAMP POSTS AND SEE THOSE BASTARDS AND BITCHES DANCE.
AND HAPPINESS WILL RETURN TO OUR LAND.

AND STINKAPORE WILL BECOME SINGAPORE ONCE MORE.

mcdonald's? no wonder tonychat is all up in arms. in sg, mcdonald's has one of the worst values for your sg dollar. 1 bowl of mee pok at $3 is far more of value than a big mac with fries and soda. if i can survive on $15 a day in sg and still can do 50 sit-ups, so can you. :p

The biggest contributing factor to inflation is the increase in supply of money. This is 100% controlled by the Singapore government. Putting the blame of inflation on ordinary Singaporeans is not only laughable, but ridiculous. The only blame Singaporean has is that they allow PAP to remain in power. They should have voted out the PAP if PAP cannot control inflation.

The US Fed was printing like crazy.

Our MAS was too afraid of a strong Spore dollar so we also printed like crazy to soak up the demand by foreigners buying our ppties.

A strong SGD would be the cure for imported inflation.

But I guess our Gov was too scared that exports and tourist dollars would fall etc...
They were also too happy with ever rising COEs and PPTY prices etc.. which meany more revenue to spend.

its not just our Gov.
Most elected politicians worldwide dont seem to have a glue about money supply and how economies work.
That accounts for the sorry state of affairs in all the developed countries ever since they dropped the gold standard; and out went the discipline that gold imposed.

You are absolutely right. Not so long ago, our then Tharman minister said that inflation did not affect the population at large because it was caused primarily by the rising COE and car prices at the time that he made the statement. Obviously, he was not aware of how businessmen make money - they do so by passing on the costs.

Just look at the way beer prices have increased - way above the real increases to the businesses.

If you're including COE and car prices in your basket of goods for computing the inflation rate, you are indeed quite the basket case. :wink:

He is asking Sinkie cows to pls eat cheaper grass...

You have 2 cows in a sleepy fishing village
The 2 cows produce more and more milk every year
Farmer Lee comes along and exhorts the cows to produce even more milk
Farmer Lee takes all the milk from the by now half dead cows
Farmer Lee abandons original exhausted cows and imports foreign cows for new milking.
blindswordsman said:
Re: source (SBY): What is the Singapore Cow?
Actually, the farmers squeezed the 2 cows for milk until they became rebellious and refused to be milked. How to get more milk? The farmer then got a brilliant idea. Why not bring in more foreign cows and feed them cheap weeds and get more milk. The rest is history.

Casinos and F1 shouldn't have come to Sinkie heartland/ city square in the first place unless majority Sinkies can afford the luxuary, cos they are entertainment options for only those rich/ with expensive taste. Now every other Sinkieland politician and MP wants casino CEO level salary, and they call it "dignity"...

"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals. Hence, a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."

In Aussie, you should be learning how to cook, instead of eating out. Eating out is only for the Super rich in Australia !
