Shitgapore hawker food raises prices again, song boh 65% PAP cunts!

Singapore cost of living is high = lower standard of living in relative to Malaysia but many misunderstood this point and took a morbid pride that exhorbitant high cost of living is a good thing and go around boasting about it like an idiot. You are right, the best is to stay in Malaysia and enjoy a much much higher quality standard of living. I am seriously considering that liao... Why in the world would I want to pay $3 for the same hamburger here in SG whereby I can pay $1 for the exact same hamburger in Malaysia....

You should stay in KL and prowl Tun Sambanthan area for CECA buus.

This is because they view the issue from a single perspective of affordability, which can create an illusion of prestige.

Just keep letting the prices increase, then when one standard plate of chicken rice costs $20, reissue new currency and remove one zero. Back to $2 one plate, the late 1990s and early 2000s prices again.

Feel free to reissue the currency whenever necessary. No need for too many zeroes that put even hell bank notes to shame. And with digital currency, you need not (in theory) print new SGD paper notes.

Why Singapore firms are moving some operations overseas – and what that means for jobs​

While some jobs may be shifted abroad or replaced by AI, the economy is evolving towards more specialised, higher-value work, experts told CNA’s Deep Dive podcast.

SINGAPORE: Companies moving parts of their operations out of Singapore, especially within the region, is part of a longer-running trend and not a sign that firms are abandoning the country altogether, said experts.

This shift – driven by cost pressures, labour availability and regional integration – reflects how businesses are reorganising in response to rising costs in Singapore and opportunities elsewhere in Southeast Asia, they told CNA’s Deep Dive podcast.

Over the past month, two prominent homegrown brands have announced plans to move some operations abroad.

Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore, which produces Tiger Beer and is owned by Heineken, said it will wind down brewing operations in the country over the next few years, with about 130 jobs expected to be cut by 2027.

Meanwhile, Yeo Hiap Seng (Yeo’s) said it will lay off 25 workers due to a “consolidation of can manufacturing to Malaysia”.

NOT FULL EXITS​

These moves are mainly down to cost savings and a growing push for regional integration within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said Professor Sumit Agarwal of NUS Business School.

“Just look at the strength of the Singapore dollar versus the Malaysian ringgit. That causes lots of things to be much cheaper (across the border)”, noted Prof Agarwal, a Low Tuck Kwong Distinguished Professor of Finance who teaches economics and real estate.

He added that countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam are attractive because they offer cheaper labour, educated workers and English-speaking talent.

War on Iran? No, it's you PAP technocrats running Sinkieland as a money laundering hub, the carbon tax, the water conservancy tax, the rental hikes whenever a hawker centre has been 'upgraded'.

It's always convenient and easy to blame an external bogeyman, or external circumstances beyond your control.

Your post does not make sense. Do you mean: "Sinkies who cannot afford, please fuck off"?

I know a Malaysian couple - husband is an engineer and wife is a teacher - who owns a landed home and 2 cars in Penang. They have a far better quality of life than a similar PMET couple in S'pore.
