I thought PRs have a 4 or 5 year renewal of their status. This would mean half of the PRs will be Foreigners and left Singapore by then.

Dum know. I heard of or in sinkie for 20 years.

if got poverty lines.....it will be 50% or more

"What is the unofficial poverty line in Singapore?

While Singapore has no official poverty line, there are several different numbers commonly discussed that can provide a frame of reference. 

It has been estimated that a family of four would need $1,700 to cover basic costs of living7, but $2,500- 3,000/month to meet a ”social inclusion” level of income."

Note
It's done 3/4 years ago so, may not be accurately reflected in today's much higher costs of living.

As you know Spore birth rate is getting lower 
for ave family size could be 3.5 people now, so 1700 could be sufficient... 

These few years many salary growth higher than economy growth, this is not sustainable 
as is clear many income increase is more due money printing than actual demand growth.

Not every adult can see, can think and can talk sense

Worst combination that a man can ever have

Even maintaining an extremely strong SGD to specially import cheaply products from oversea and yet, those savings were not passed on to consumers..

NTUC benefitted most

Very cruel to do it to those Poor Singaporeans living below poverty level..

Hearsay many surviving on instant noodles and tap water daily..

I dun believe this news lah.

With a sudden hike in prices on top of GST rates increasing

How many seniors have $1500 per mth that is needed now?


That is why more and more of them fell through the holes.


Singapore seniors each need at least S$1,379 monthly to meet basic needs: Study - TODAY (todayonline.com)

[Tangsen]

"Singapore does not have an official poverty line.

 However researchers estimate that some 387,000 Singaporeans are unable to meet basic needs in the form of food, shelter, clothing and other essential expenditures. 

That means that more than 1 in 10 Singaporeans is living in poverty."

How come the oppositions not fighting the white pirates to have ZERO GST for basic needs for Singaporeans …. instead of keep trying to self fugg themselves ?

Singapore just send tons of food supplies to overseas to help other places .....

Singapore just send tons of food supplies to overseas to help other places .....

Ofcoz you imposed sanction yet, you were buying tons of cheap crude oil from Russia, certainly, you making tons of unjustified profits enabling you to  donate food.

No magic formula

W/O safety net, minimum wages, free healthcare and welfare

Singapore provides a trampoline for you to bounce up and down. If fallen outside and die is your own biz.

Tharman's analogy of the trampoline is that the Pappies will throw away the local hoi polloi and replace them with FTs once these Sinkies cease to be productive workers.

In S'pore, only 20% of residents live in private housing and 11% own cars, so you are referring to the minority of people living here who may not even be citizens. Remember those money launderers from China living in GCBs and having a fleet of luxury cars?

Prices shot up too fast for many middle- age people to be able to get better jobs with higher pay. With a 2 or 5 years runway before reaching 60 or 65 years old, there is nothing they can do except cling on to their pathetic low paying job paving a cyclical impact.

I have 2 senior colleagues in their early 60s who are extremely talented and write impeccable English. However, they are continually bypassed for promotion owing to their age. Well, it can be argued that they are fortunate to still have PME jobs when many of their peers were already retrenched in their 40s and 50s.
