Honestly,since the GST increase from 7% to 9%,the hawkers food prices have "lost control".

GST increase is a facade for global inflationary pressures

When the GST rate is raised, it leads to a higher cost for goods and services, which in turn increases prices in S'pore. However, the govt would rather blame external factors like global inflation. Raising the GST at this time just adds to the hardship of S'poreans.

The average price of landed property in S'pore is around S$5.3 million. The median price is about S$4.2 million.
In the United States, the median home price is approximately S$553,000.
Americans have far more disposable income than S'poreans.

if the Pappies believe in minimum living wage, people will be able to afford more. Instead they help MNC corporates profit by lowering labor costs. So a FairPrice staff makes $2345 pm today. Coles staff in AU earns A$4048 pm today. Blue collars have it rough becoz Old Man believe they are destined to serve the elites. Vote Pappies some more.

I rarely eat out at shopping malls and generally anywhere but home. But I've noticed how much the prices have gone up lately, it's horrible. I try to eat healthy and from time to time I look for good vitamins on Canadian Pharmacy Partner . When I used to eat out I gained a lot of weight and had severe acne, now I don't have that and it's great

How to price cap when gst, rental , pub, COE all up up up

PAP will not cap food prices because all these towkays are their foundational supporters
They are also pillars in CCs, CCMCs, RCs ...... so food prices cannot be controlled.

Yep. I always wonder all those companies in the setting up of tentage sectors..they must be related to PAP grassroots people.

For example, I never understood why the big patch of grass in geylang where Hari Raya night market is held every year. Why the fuck must set up tear down etc etc. Just build a permanent shelter with proper fencing as it is held there every year. Why must every year build tentage and tear down etc etc..let their own related contractors earn money?

For goodness sake, where else in Geylang can you have a night market except that piece of vacant land??? So make it permanent with proper structures, water, electricity and sanitary facilities. And whichever agency who is in charge can also rent out tge place for other events.
