SG Talk

What is the use of one off $200 when cost of living rises so much.

The govt itself is fueling the inflation with planned hikes for water, stamps, mrt fares and all sorts of increases in taxes and charges like GST, COE ....

The $200 does not come close to patch the whole situation of runaway  cost of living. We expect the govt to lead to way to lower cost of living and not to be the one causing much of the inflation we are seeing.

Yesterday we saw reports that our population is again at all time highs as the govt imported more people....this has set off a rental hike spiral that reverberated to everything ...even kopi C at coffee shop jumped up by 15 to 20%



Once the presidential election is over their intentions become clear.


When a govt is the cause of inflation problems the people will face hard tines ahead.

70% support PAP on high inflation.

in malaysia, no gst because 100% are against gst.

no 100% mean no gst.
no gst means no inflation.

Even 1000 also useless

We want long term solutions.

70% have a choice to choose PAP/inflaton or opposition/no inflation.
70% choose inflation.

TKL made it very clear that he would fight inflation if he was elected.
Tharman made no promise to fight inflation.
but 70% still choose Tharman.

70% is the cause.

PAP itself is a inflation manipulator. they are the source. vote them out.

Those freaking price and gst increases are forever, for life.
The miserable $200 is only a one off thing. 

How to cope? Yet the authorities are always saying they will help Singaporeans?

they have shown their capability

they are the world highest paid politicians for nothing

please do not pressure them further

He being rich has his dreams. Moar FTs moar rent hikes. Tread gently on them. 

To increase the GDP, just increase essential goods and services, GST and taxes.

At the end ofthe day, the Gov can show on paper their surpluses.

No need brains and no need high ministars million dollar salaries.

POWER!!!!

When oil, gst, transport, electricity, water & food prices rises. Everything has to follow to rise in tandem to cover business costs. Inflation will also go up.

The onus is on the incumbent authorities to solve the inflationary issues....they are paid indecently sky high salaries to think out of the box to tackle it !!!
