[h=1]THE RISING COST OF LIVING IS SQUEEZING WORKING CLASS SINGAPOREANS[/h]

One single mrt trip alone can cost people $2.60.

The cost of public transport alone in itself is a glaring example of how atrocious this country have become to live in.

I can spend up to 9 dollars just on bus and mrt in a single day when I went on job errands.

How can a working class take it?

Don't even get me started on food price as well.

1.20 for a cup of kopi and 3.50 for a bowl of fishball noodles.

One non filling and non nutritious meal itself cost $5 dollar already. Three outside meals cost up to $15 in a day.

End of the month still have to get ready for the bills payment.







How much do people made in a day nowadays?

The establishment don't know how to understand people plights and don't know how to work the maths game and sum formula.

In the short term yes they eat a lot of money and grow rich quickly but in the long term this inhumane formula will cause society to break and eventually lead to a conflict between the people and the government.

Pap lack wisdom in holistic ruling and let greed destroy themselves and the nation.

Killing the goose that lay golden egg....foolish.

We do not know how to be thrifty these days....make a sandwich put into a plastic bag bring along...buy 3-1 whatever, bring along, buy plastic stirrer, bring along....save money on Breakfast... pay 40cts to 50cts for hot water..add 3-1 stir. eat sandwich...

Go office, use the latrines for shitting, save water & electricity, drink from pantry....hungry eat biscuits, cookies etc..from pantry...use office toilets, building toilets....save money.

Short distances walk...hot sun walk....save money...

Over hyped food stalls, especially those with 'glowing' reviews & photographs of celebrities like artistes & ministers...AVOID; eat economical & affordable lunch...

In this way, one make a little effort, there were those from the 70's - 80's who does that, be frugal...one can still survive the rising costs...one more thing...play less with the smartphone...pay less...more income.

Avoid paying indirect taxes or double or even maybe triple taxation...drink less, smoke less...save money.

What if one got no office?

Nobody has ever said that life is easy. Get over it.

 

[eatshitndie]

it's extremely affordable to many and cheap to some at less than $10 a day for transportation and $15 a day for 3 meals. i live on $30 a day or $900 a month in sg, and i already consider that extremely satisfying and worthwhile. what more can you ask for? free trips and free food?

Instead of putting yourself through all that sort of shit and sacrifice, it is far easier to simply earn a lot more money so you can enjoy life to the fullest.

Goh Chok Tong promised us Swiss Standard of living. He lied?

gdp has what to do with standard of living?

 

[eatshitndie]

mee pok with kopi for breakfast, nasi lemak with bandung beverage for lunch, laksa with lime drink for dinner. take mrt only when necessary. no prostitutes, no smoking, no gambling, no ktv. just surf sbf and kpkb.

 

[tonychat]

This is what happen when you vote the PAP and being ball-less.

It is a quantitative way of measuring standard of living.

There are other airy, fairy methods but they are far more subjective.

$450 billion GDP but it in no way reflects the well-being of sinkapore when wealth is concentrated in the top 10 percent.

Wealth is concentrated in the segment of society that deserves it and that's the way it should be.

Sorry hor ... 90 percent cannot be ignored. Even the PAP knows that.

The 90% are not ignored. They are given just enough crumbs to subjugate them and that is the way they should be.

Unfortunately, those glowing figures do not translate to a higher living for most of the working class Singaporeans, vis-a-vis the Swiss.

That's because the Swiss working class are far more productive than the sinkie working class.

You can't blame the government for that.

I understand, but the income disparity is very significant, which is not the case in Switzerland, possibly due to its different policies.
