Buy fish if you can’t afford chicken, President Halimah once said: Netizens point to pomfret’s pre-CNY price of $100 per kilo

Thought she stayed in a HDB before moving into the Istana ? Can you believe a true Malay aunty who was staying in a HDB in 2007 when she uttered those words, not to know the prices for Fish meat was even more expensive per kg than chicken ones even during non festive period ? Especially for a Lawyer by training and an MP for Jurong GRC?

Come on, a Malay MP would have talked to her Malay residents whom cooking depended heavily on fish meat and demographics formed the lower wage bracket sensitive to food price?

So either she knew the true price of foodstuff and was lying about fish meat price being lower than chicken meat, or she was lying that she presented the Malay community as she did not know the hardship of the Malay faced due to high fish price ?
