"When consumers bring their own containers, the stallholders show their displeasure by asking the consumers to take off the lids and put back the lids themselves" - Harry Ong Heng Poh. The last time the relatively young and able bodied nasi lemak hawker told me that, I took my containers and patronised his competitor next door. The quality doesn't differ much and the prices are aligned.

One of my favourite fish slice noodle in a coffee shop suddenly increased price from $4.80 to $6.80. Now seems like fewer customers go there to buy or eat at that stall.

Vote with our feet and wallets! Show these hawkers who profit unreasonably from so-called inflation that there are alternatives to their stall.

Take any survey from the S'pore Department of Statistics with far more than a pinch of salt. They are another govt-controlled instrument.

Check out the many different recipes available online. I went from someone who didn't even like cooking to a home chef by following such recipes on YouTube. Of course I have a helper who assists by chopping and seasoning the meat and preparing the ingredients for me to do the finishing touches when I reach home at around 7 pm.

I bring my food containers every time I pack food home to lessen my carbon footprint. Learn to save the earth for your children and grandchildren.

The statistics is for upper echelons to KPI ... It is not for commoners. Stick to the kopi o, teh o, prata kosong, cai png 2 vege and 3 vege etc etc to know the real inflation

Singapore Dept of Stats existence is to support Pap and thus, conflict of Interest. It is and will always be merely patronising the public who are deem the lesser mortals in the Equity Game for some cover- up agenda.
