Cheap meals under threat - Seah Chiang Nee

Singapore is probably also the only country that require a permit to camp along the beach.

Singapore is besto! LKY says there's no such thing as homeless in Singapore.

I guess LKY has never seen a homeless Sporeans.

Can bet that the grass root members tidied up things before an official visit.
Of course it's more convenient for LKY to play along with their wayang rather than ask too many questions

Personally I feel for the stall owners that charge a few dollars for food.

They have to serve up hundreds and thousands of plates or bowls a day to survive. That's the majority. Of course there are a few who make it big.

Are we paying these food sellers what they are worth? The effort they put in?

Anyway why is it such a big deal if prices go up? If it is too expensive for you, just pack your own lunch everyday. Pack leftovers from dinner.

As it is most Singaporeans won't even need to do that themselves. They have cheap maids to do that for them.

"Vendors, however, complain their woes are also largely caused by high rentals due to government policies."

I have spoken to hawkers in several centres. Their main grouse is the higher rentals - because of "upgrading" and the highest bids in the tender system. The beneficiaries?
The government agencies - URA, HDB etc

So we fly to Thailand for our meals?

Or if not, we live and work there. But then how to draw Singapore salary in Thailand?

........But with the government’s preoccupation of maximising gross domestic product (GDP) growth, few are prepared to predict the future direction of the hawker stall and cheap meals.........A general fear is that, given the govt’s corporate-mindedness..... could spell an end to the era of the S$3-S$5 meal..................

One major threat is imported inflation. In recent weeks, a cup of coffee had risen by 10 to 20 cents, thanks to the global price hikes of sugar and coffee as well as oil........

In most countries,govt's are careful not to let prices of basic commodities increase too fast/much and control of inflation is one of the main policy platform.

However in the red dot, the govt is the first to increase prices.The highest increase in cost of living in recent years are due to hike in property prices caused by high HDB/govt land auction places.

Next on the list are the many rounds of increase in utilities and transport charges by govt owned companies.Even school fees are not spared.

This is definitely a govt that think that it can get away with anything-as where else can a daughter in law lose billions of public monies and still keep her job.

My fear is that unless the people send a clear message during the coming elections things will be get worse.

They are not afraid to increase prices anytime because their humongous salaries pretty much cover any inflationary concerns in their lifestyles.

Very soon your cuntry known as Stinkapore will be like Zimbabwe with an 80 something yr old dictator who refuses to step down.

Bro, don't be Kwai Lan! Be humble a bit can. There are some poor people in Singapore and $5 a meal is quite high for them.
