Every damn thing is expensive in S'pore. Our Govt is not just unable to manage inflation, but caused it due to their policy of letting in ultra rich foreigners (including money launderers) to become citizens and purchase freehold properties in land scarce S'pore. Prices of residences and rent have shot through the roof. The cost of doing business has skyrocketed too.

After deciding to pay Ministers millions of dollars, our Govt only attracts mercenaries. They are not into public service, but self-service.

I ever joined this type of tour before. Those durians that they let us ate at the farm are those small and unsaleable type. They took those large ones away.
The lunch was also served in the farm. It was just fried beehoon with some finger food. The cc must have made tons of money organising such trip

A Casio watch can be had for less than $150. A smartwatch....for free, courtesy of Health Promotion Board.
Meanwhile, a second-hand Rolex Sub goes for $20,000, not a cent less.
You are unhappy and want Pritam Singh to take over from PAP because you believe that he can do something to bring the price of a Rolex down to what you are willing to pay...?
Rolex, GCB, high end condos vs HDB flats - the government will do what it takes to make public housing affordable. But if you want to threaten them with your vote because the following are sexpensive, we are prepared to lose your vote to keep the votes of the majority lorh.
1. GCB, high end condos
2. Cars
3. Luxury timepieces
4............

Those trip is organised by tour agency, CC just tap on it. In fact you pay more to cover CC members & MP cost if they go along.

The long queues are back again, for durians that is gone in 60 minutes:
Bishan durian stall sells 200kg of Mao Shan Wang durians at $8 to $12. Gone in 60 minutes: Bishan durian stall sells 200kg of Mao Shan Wang durians at $8 to $12
A queue of over 20 customers lined up before the promotion started at durian stall Wangshengli95, located in Bishan.
To kick off the annual season for the king of fruits, one durian stallholder held a promotion in Bishan on Thursday (June 20), offering premium Mao Shan Wang or Musang King varieties for as low as $8 per kilogram. Within an hour, around 200kg of the fruit was snapped up, Shin Min Daily News reported on Friday (June 21
The durian season usually occurs between June and September, where the fruit is abundant and prices are lower. This is also typically the time when sellers would be hawking the fruit at incredible prices in a bid to attract customers.
Among them this year is durian stall Wangshengli95, located at Block 513 Bishan Street 13. It held a promotion that started on Wednesday, offering its B-grade and A-grade Mao Shan Wang varietals at $8 and $12 per kilogram respectively.
According to a Straits Times report in May, the best grade of Malaysia's Musang King was sold for RM20 ($5.72) to RM30 per kilogram in 2023. This was lower than the previous high of RM50 to RM70 per kilogram.
Wangshengli95's promotional activities on Thursday was scheduled to start at 6.30pm, but there were already over 20 customers waiting in line 15 minutes before, reported Shin Min.
"Today is already the second day of the promotion. The durians were sold out yesterday and customers came 30 minutes ahead of time today. Some of them are regulars but others came because they saw my Facebook post," said the stall owner, Chen Ruixiang.
The 38-year-old believes his prices for the grade of durians are the lowest in Singapore.
He said that he would continue to prepare 200kg of durians for customers in the days ahead, adding that as long as the bumper crop holds up, he hopes to be able to continue the promotional activities till July.
According to The Straits Times report, this year's harvest from Malaysia is expected to be a bountiful one, due to the hot weather that the country experienced late last year.
Other durian sales
Shin Min also reported that some Sheng Siong outlets have started selling durians such as Mao Shan Wang and other varieties, from $13.80 a durian at its branch at 52 Chin Swee Road, and at $9.90 each at Block 209 Bedok Central.
At FairPrice, its durian fair saw Malaysian kampung durians going at $1.95 each on June 14. The sale of durians at the same price continues this weekend (June 21 to 23) at Kang Kar mall.
Giant is also holding its Durian Buffet Party this weekend (June 22 and 23) at its hypermarket in Tampines, with a standard one-hour package for unlimited durians priced at $48 per person.
