Allvin"Its approach focuses on strong job creation and wage growth"

---------------------------------

For past  5 or 7 years, PAP keep repeating this statement

But still FAILED

either PAP Ministers Talk Cock, Wayang, incompetent 

or thinks that everybody is dumb like 61%

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Jamus highlighted a critical problem

Another point Prof Lim made was that policies involving Singaporeans on fixed incomes have to be adjusted.

He said that for such people, who include retirees drawing from their Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts or needy families on the Government's ComCare financial assistance scheme, inflation can be devastating.

"An elderly person spending $20 a day may now be able to buy only one prata instead of two for breakfast, be forced to skip their afternoon tea, or order two instead of three items of cai png (mixed rice)," he said.

"And what's worse, this diminished consumption will be with them for the rest of their lives, even when inflation has returned to normal rates, because elevated prices do not automatically come back down even when inflation disappears."

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
