Why is everything so expensive in Singapore?

[Narong Wongwan]

JB's expensive, even for street or kopitiam food, even after the conversion factor At City Square, it's mostly sinkie birds cheeping.
Think the locals kena imported inflation due to proximity.

Elsewhere, prices are kinder

It’s the closest and no other options.
I hardly spend money in Sg now.
I get my haircut, massages, facials inside
Also buy medicine, makan and whoring needs.
I don’t bother with the buying of groceries or shopping (shopping do online or when travel) as too many restrictions. If not I’ll do that too. Fuck pap.

actually that's not entirely true. a lot of stuff in sinkieland is not highest quality. but still high price

Its called high margins.instead of giving the savings back to consumers due to S$ strength, they traders decided to pocket the difference.

if only that were true! For most retail businesses, most of the money goes to landlords.

Singkie income tax..1/3 or even none.

If one does not buy car or pay COE the cost is even lower.

Bus and train fares. Twice the cost of Oz

Interest rates for housing loan....much higher than singkieland,,,read up on how the banks are screwing Aussies....

Of course you are there to help pay pensions for their oldies. Else have more immigrants for what? To report and brag about GDP numbers? No country in the world is stupid enough to do that am I right?

Singapore has consistently held its No. 1 ranking for world's most expensive city since 2014, when it surpassed Tokyo, which had previously occupied the top spot nearly every year since 1992.

And funny that soo many singkies ask for pensions n welfare support n free medical etc..but not willing to pay high taxes for it...tat being said. The multi millionaire ministers n super scale civil serpents are paid way too much. They need an 80% cut to their pay to reduce the burdens on tax payers

U mad? U want widespread corruption? If we pay silver servants less, they will develop green eye jealousy against successful immigrants. Less moneys how to have dignity you tell me?
