Rich new citizens are driving up prices.
$2 coffee & $10 fishball noodle is cheap to them in coffeeshop
One minister said: ‘if coffeeshop is expensive, go elsewhere’

If a PAP minister said that, than PaP must be removed as dominant party. To travel extra 15 mins or to pay to hop on a bus just for a quick meal shows how detached they are from the real world.

If our immigration policy is to allow the rich to migrate here, that is definitely the case.. Like the Taiwanese turned Sinkie who donate to Taiwan military defense.. TS can't compare against this group..

But it is the middle class migrants that is the issue here..

Truthfully, they do not come with better education nor from Top Notch 100 Ranking Universities. I suppose the Work Pass has a serious loophole.

With new citizens buying luxury condos and driving big cars, i have never felt as poor as now. Bear in mind we are only taking public transport and live in hdb.

Many of us already fallen behind, with soaring inflation and widening rich poor gap, most of us will fall further behind.

Yes, we citizens feel marginalized, and especially the young ones among us, who are deprived of a good job because of FTs............

Username is a misnomer, Unenlightened could be more appropriate.

Median income means right in the middle. It should be roughly 50% of people higher and 50% of people lower than median income all the time.

Even hawkers centres are selling at food court prices and they are run by big names. Where are the poor going to have affordable meals?

Follow westerners style. Bring homecooked meal to work  instead of buying outside.some have just bread and slice of ham while others have baked beans on toast.
Learn to prepare your own dinner and lunch. Also lower down your expectation too
Buy in bulk of those noodles. Can eat for weeks at very low cost
