Now ministers are getting useless as they only announce impending serious problem and that it. It's your problem after he told you so. One tell you of high inflation soon and another tell you Covid cases will go up 10 times.

Tell us the problem as reporters? But they are Ministers of this country and should tell us how they solve the problem.

But to be fair, there is nothing they can do about it.

This is not a domestic issue that's within their ability to do something about it.  It is the external environment....covid affecting labour and logistics, and now the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The most the government can do is to give the lower income HH some help...like food vouchers.  But they cannot force prices to drop.....
Supply demand issue
Should exempt GST for rice, eggs, bread and cooking oil …

This is what the BIG Difference compare the current crap PAP lead by LHL Vs old PAP lead by LKY.

You can't say oh because now global situation unlike last time, All along Politics, global uncertain ALWAYS THERE

During LKY days too, in fact more hard to handle compare to now the current PAP handle.
Riot, racism riot , gang fight , NO body know who where what ? Singapore? Etc.

To build up a Country is always harder.

These current pap just riding the old pap works , credits, reserves and ownself give ownself pay rise, even come out what Mayors this post, increase number of MPs , put it " nice claim what give more opposition more chance " LOL really ....
Just had farmed golden pomfret (from LactoSea) for dinner. It is selling for around $33/kg.
Whereas in China Guangdong, there is now a oversupply of this fish and price is going as low a S$3.30/kg !!!

The rich will run away from wealth tax, so guess the middle-class can also run away from the other taxes to retire in neighouring countries once the Covid pandemic ends.

Supermarket like SS & FF at the end of FY will still announce millions of profit

This is why a lot selling things lor , look at FB live, any beng, tom , dick , harry also just try to sell and sell even Ex Media cock artist also everyone doing who know can earn big profits. Some is selling their own stuffs whereas some are as promotor help business owner sell their products , like those media cock artist just like they doing ad , they just promote that product and sell for the boss who pay them to promote. That Wang lei also like this, He just see which boss want to hire him to promote that product than he will do live stream promote that person products.

Is always like this, take from supplier depend which one some offer cheap if you get a lot , vary the prices than of course you need to mark up the selling price minus your cost price = profits.
With a jump in prices by rounding up, more profits to be made too.

Are you sure there is nothing they can do about it except squeeze our blood dry?

LHL told us to stretch our dollar ( 2018) while they can be over-paid
