On Day 1 of the promotion, Mr Poh's chicken rice was sold out by 4pm.

A family of six, who had arrived in a car, were too late.

"The man gave me a dressing-down because I was sold out," Mr Poh told TNP.

"He demanded that I compensate him for his effort and petrol. It was scary."

Unfortunately for Mr Poh, the man was not the only unpleasant customer he had to face that day.

"A number of the customers told me that they would boycott my stall or give me one-star rating on Google Reviews if I didn't make the promotion permanent," he shared.

"My intention was to do something nice but I ended up having a hard time.

"There was also an overwhelming number of people who wanted drumsticks. Some even asked me to put half-a-chicken on top of their rice for the $2 meal. They threatened to call me out for cheating and leave a bad review on Facebook."

Why he even publicize the deed if he only meant it for regulars? Just quietly collect $2 when they pay.

$2 will attract all the houseflies, cheapbyes and obnoxious sinkies all over the island to rob him.

It's human nature's dark side, mostly caused by the oppressive regime under PAP who created our World no. 1 high cost of living til we won the World Cup.

Everything now so expensive and have to pay sky-high prices for HDBs, COEs, petrol, parking and all kinds of ranjiao levies of course sure desperate when there are such offers.

This is the best gift PAP has achieved for Singapore...Bravo!:

SINGAPORE — Singapore has tied with America’s New York to share the unwanted title of being the most expensive city to live in, the latest Worldwide Cost of Living index showed.

Results of the survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), which were released on Thursday (Dec 1), showed that a combination of high incomes and a strong exchange rate propelled both financial hubs to the top of the list.

TODAY Youth Survey: Cost of living main source of mental health struggles, amid worries over healthcare and everyday expenses


EIU — the research and analysis division of the Economist Group, which also manages the Economist newspaper — said that the survey has been designed to enable human resources and finance managers to calculate cost-of-living allowances and build compensation packages for expatriates and business travellers.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said in December last year, after the release of EIU’s previous report, that the results “may not reflect the cost of living of Singaporean households”.

For instance, it said that the EIU consumption basket includes items such as international foreign daily newspapers that tend to be more expensive than what Singaporean households typically consume, such as Singapore's newspapers.

In response to TODAY's queries, Ms Upasana Dutt, head of Worldwide Cost of Living at EIU, said on Thursday that its survey includes products and services, which are common all across the cities in order to provide standardisation and direct city-to-city comparisons.

These include categories such as food, drinks, clothing, household supplies and personal care items, home rent, and transport, she added.

Last year, MTI said that EIU’s survey findings were compiled by comparing the prices of goods and services across countries and converting them from their domestic currencies to US dollars.

“This means that the rankings are sensitive to currency fluctuations. However, currency fluctuations have less impact on the cost of living of Singaporeans who earn their income in Singapore dollars,” MTI said then.

‘CONSISTENTLY HIGH COST OF LIVING’
Commenting on its latest findings for Singapore, EIU said that the country has faced a consistently high cost of living.

“The city-state has the world’s highest transport prices, owing to strict government controls on car numbers. It is also among the most expensive cities for clothing, alcohol and tobacco, thanks to its success as a premier location for business investment,” the company added.

And because of Singapore’s strong currency, it has a tendency of ranking highly on EIU’s index.

EIU said that prices are higher when expressed in international common currency, while structural factors such as competition or high demand play a key role in determining the cost of living as well.

It added that because it converts domestic currency prices into US dollars to calculate each city’s index, EIU’s rankings are also driven by exchange rates against the dollar.

Ms Dutt said that as compared to other currencies, the Singapore dollar depreciated relatively less, which caused the city to stay as one of the most expensive.
Beyond Singapore’s strong currency, EIU also pointed to high inflation, which has led to the cost of living soaring in the world’s major cities as war in Ukraine and continuing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions disrupt supply chains, particularly for energy and food.

On average, EIU said that prices have risen by 8.1 per cent in local-currency terms, the highest rate in the 20 years for which the firm has collected digital data.

Utility and food prices have increased sharply in the midst of trade restrictions caused in part by the Ukraine war, but petrol prices have seen the most rapid increases, it added.

The firm found that the price of a litre of petrol has risen by 22 per cent year-on-year on average in local-currency terms at a time of higher global oil prices and a stronger US dollar.

Separately, prices for gas and electricity saw a global average increase of 11 per cent, compared to the 29 per cent on average in local-currency terms in western European cities as the region tries to wean itself off Russian energy.

Despite the relatively bleak outlook, EIU said that “prices may be starting to ease” in some countries as interest rates bite and the global economy slows. Supply-chain blockages should also start to ease as freight rates come down and demand softens.

“Unless the war in Ukraine escalates, we predict that commodity prices for energy, food and for supplies such as metals are likely to fall sharply in 2023 compared with 2022 levels, although they are likely to stay higher than previous levels.”

Overall, EIU forecasts that global consumer price inflation will fall from an average of 9.4 per cent this year to a still-high 6.5 per cent in 2023.

TODAY has sought comment from MTI regarding EIU’s latest report.

Mostly will attract his competitors, pretending to be nasty customers, to teach him a lesson. It is a dog eat dog world. If he wanted to do good deed, every bowl he sold should donate to old folks home.

You see Mayfair $2 oar jikang all cheap bangla regulars got new customers or not?
Ok lor let me go dig out all the dog’s incriminating threads 还想抵赖ask me to take note woh Cantonese son of SELF ADMITTED SLUT @Franjipani you and your fellow dogs take note violent death is waiting for you the one one that you targeted and persecuted with your Cantonese dog pride is a virgin and never a chicken slut unlike your cheap self admitted dirty slut women Pui!
@ginfreely
pls take note
You criminal bully dogs Cantonese sons of prostitutes smearing and harassing me one want to 洗白launder your dirty defamation crimes to nothing by acting innocent and got the audacity to ask me take note. No need to talk so much you dare not swear to die a violent death that your chicken and outright prostitute with my particulars threads are not targeting me. Pui!
K Shanmugam Sc I see the parliament news today 22 November 24 on internet bullying, Singapore government seems to restrict internet bullying to youth phenomenon when this is far from truth. Many internet bullies are not youths at school but adults or even old people like the lazy idle Cantonese bullies in a rat hole forum that take salary don’t work but spent working hours ganging up to abuse me everyday and when you fight their bullying and sexual harassment, a self admitted Cantonese man in the group shamelessly turned around to repeat lies that I want to have sex with him.

Six days ago I made a post that documented these adult bullies ganging up to bully me « Unfortunately there are many criminal bullies hiding in rat hole forum brazenly doing defamation crimes to me everyday and for years. Their profile is self claimed Cantonese or Hakka that used Cantonese vulgarities on me and one such brazen and proud Cantonese criminal with self admitted Cantonese dirty slut mother just took my life story and twist into a cheap slut whore mistress story when I am a virgin with annulled marriage. « .

Subsequent to this post, not only did the brazen Cantonese criminal bully proudly doing defamation crimes of me showed no signs of remorse but he proudly churned out mass of daily chicken and mistress threads and gang up with other Cantonese and Hakka bullies in the group to make sleazy and insulting comments of me either directly or indirectly using insinuating insults.

And everyone knows it’s Chinese culture to refer to prostitutes as chicken and this brazen Cantonese bully actually started a thread before in March 24 to explain why are prostitutes called chicken so it’s definitely not innocent but evil intentional harassment of me.

And this brazen Cantonese criminal serial liar and other bullies ganging up in the rat hole forum have the audacity to do defamation crimes and harassment crimes to me then act innocent and turned around to call me mad. They think their identity is unknown and can hide in rat hole to abuse me for years to feel good in their jealous sore loser life, such evil people should be severely punished.

Update 3 December 24 the evil arrogant Cantonese bullies continue to do defamation crimes on me smearing and insulting me as slut prostitute and one of the Cantonese bully that spewed much Cantonese vulgarities on me previously and self admitted a thief that committed CBT in office and was jailed for buying illegal goods made defamatory baseless false accusations of me cheating money of my family members and relatives to buy condo etc character assassination of me.

Actually what happened to me is like what happened to the Malaysian influencer that committed suicide and died with people making lewd comments and more. In fact what I encountered is much worse both online and offline with these vicious Cantonese and other bullies hiding in rat hole forum and offline bullies that made whistles and knocks.
