When I was in primary school, I used to claim that I grew up in a forested area at the foot of a hill while almost all my classmates lived in high rise apartments in towns served by a modern public transport system. I meant that I grew up in a landed home in Bukit Timah Hill while my peers lived in HDB estates. LOL!
My favourite are these Ayam brand sardines.

There’s a chance the Singapore dollar will strengthen to parity against its US counterpart in the next five years, according to Jefferies Financial Group Inc.
The island’s currency has appreciated against virtually all its major peers since the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in March 2022, confirming its role as the “Swiss franc of Asia,” strategist Christopher Wood wrote in the firm’s Greed & Fear newsletter.
----- lolThen the minister salary would be $100K a year, not enough money to rent Ridout Road bungalow, it is good for the country and people!
From 1955 to 1973, the PM's salary was $3,500 per month. A significant salary revision in 1973 increased the PM's pay rise to $9,500 monthly, and other ministers' salaries from $4,500 to $7,000. In 2016 values, these amounts were equivalent to approximately $27,742 (annual $360,646, including 13th month) and $20,441 (annual $265,733, including 13th month) respectively.
I thought Ministars get perks like free rent
That is what the PAP wants us to believe. They claim to be making a "sacrifice" by serving the people when they are into only self-service.
