"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.

All eat less or cheaper food for a couple of months, you'll see immediate price drop.
If you dun care, prices will definitely continue to go up, and you'll come here kpkb again

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.

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.

the govt says is 6%.
the people say is 20%.
this explains why Singaporeans should always have strong opposition in the parliament.

Most worrisome is home pricing is rising
Pay so much to home loan ends up not much left for food and needs
