$600 pm as cleanerHow much is she worth in the Private Sector?
Rent in singapore is cheap because of busybodies like Lawrence Wong. You should look at rent in places like HK or San Francisco. If not for rent controls here, landlords like me would see our rental incomes increase by easily 100%.
She won Hong Kah North by more than 70%. Good luck to those who think she can be unseatedWhich GRC this Amy standing in? She's dead weight.

sg is small, pubic transport is convenient, choices and alternatives are saturated all over the island. if one hawker raises his price for bak chor mee pok to $6.9 to cover (higher) rent, patrons, customers and diners will go to someone else selling the same shit for $4. in sg, if anyone is penny-pinching can easily hop on mrt and alight at low ses clementi to look for $3 bak chor mee. buay song with $3 can go to jurong to look for $2.50 bowl. eventually the hawker who charges $6.9 per bowl will close shop, oops stall, unless he sells super duper uber michelin and makan sutra rated bak chor mee that stupid sinkies will queue and die for, even if it's $69 per bowl. the cost of rent impacts the bottom line, but the price is determined by the laws of supply and demand. auntie amy is partially right to say that rental cost is not a "direct" factor of the price of a (hawker) meal. the same principle doesn't apply to meals prepared by fancy restaurants specializing in unique dining sexperience.
The west is very pro pap. Look at West coast GRC. It's s dump with they likes of lim hump kiang running the show n yet the pap margins r huge. For amy Kaur I understand that she is a popular MP bcos she really a people person n her constituents really like her. Even oppo supporters like her. However recently she has gone over to the dark side. The money must have gotten to her. Anyway she is now at the forefront of this fiasco. Her winning margin will drop I hope.What she said, has no common sense and humiliates the hawkers.
But the people gave her a strong mandate, it reflects the intellect of her electorate.
