It beggars belief that these PAP Ministers are paid between $1 million to $2.2 million per year to utter such motherhood statements!

The measures announced yesterday are not tangible. our country still 看不开, refuses to remove petrol tax.

The problem with the PAP is that the hyperinflation was caused by govt policies long before the current Iran War. Now, the SG govt comes in portraying itself as the saviour of S'poreans, when it refuses to even suspend the petrol tax until this crisis is over.

Gan Kim Yong told us to use fans instead of aircon.

This clown tell us some food won't be available.

They are like some factory managers reporting about issues, without suggesting any solutions.

I remember back in the 1980s, then-PM LKY had at least one food and water rationing exercise.

Bring back those good old days again. No phones, no apps, no social media, no food delivery. Just everyone enjoying themselves, living in the moment.

As I've said before, now is the best time to get acquainted with fasting, not the pussified Ramadan fasting, but prolonged fasting of at least 48 hours without eating. Start with two meals a day or one meal a day.

Most of your modern health problems are caused by eating junk food and eating more than what your body can realistically absorb nutrients from anyway. Those cocksuckers at the MOH/HPB tell you to eat in 'moderation' but they won't tell you about autophagy.

Fasting is good, doesn't matter if you are rich or poor. If you have excess money, spend it wisely elsewhere instead of stuffing your mouth.

Vivian Balakrishnan advised us to tighten our belts when many of us can't even afford a pair of pants.

Very soon, won’t even have pants.

Very soon, won’t even have pants.

Dr Vivian will then advise us to wear loin cloth.

Also can spend in spa with sauna,steambath,hot pool and cold pool as the weather is so hot recently.555

Weather so hot, but still advise us to use fans instead of aircon.

I wonder if he will advise us to decapitate ourselves if we have headaches.

To date, the PAP has only given us hot and cold poo. They are full of shit!

All indian food items will be available because Shan still needs to eat his fish head curry, prata etc. Chinese food items not available, it's not his business.

Shanmugam will need to locate a toilet near his favourite Indian eatery.

The big ticket items like a home and car are far cheaper in the USA compared to S'pore. We will have far more disposable income for meals in the US as a result.

brewing coffee and making own breakfast at home are far more affordable in the valley than going out to drink and makan. a home in the high tech valley is no longer “cheaper” than sg. the median home price in sunnyvale is now us$2.69m and us$3.69m in palo alto. a phd in ai chip engineering (ee and cse) from the most prestigious university in the valley and working in the most sought after tech company in the valley is renting a modest townhome from me at us$3.69k a month. he won’t be able to buy a home until may be after 6.9 years with vested stock options and generous bonuses. a couple making over us$369k per year will get outbidded and outcashed for any decent home in the palo alto, los altos, mountain view, sunnyvale, cupertino, saratoga, santa clara, san jose metro and suburb area as there are tens of thousands of vested stock optionees from apple, alphabet (google and youtube), meta (facebook, whatsapp, instagram), amazon, netflicks, tesla, nvidia with millions in $$$ buying multiple homes all cash for own use, equity investment, and rentals.
