TracyTan866, I was shocked at your findings with most items increasing by more than 100%. I never know this and I guess most Singaporean don't know about this although we felt it rising but not to this extend.

Swiss standards calls for higher income for ministers and also Swiss pricing for food. This is sickening. Resource scare preaching by the PAP government is bullshit as it is used to increase prices of everything, can we really believe suppliers really increase more than 100% over the past 6 months? I really don't think so.

If we have a caring government they would have used our tremendous wealth to buy into overseas food industries and farms to cushion global food price impact on us. But do we have a caring government to speak of first? Oh I think some big shot singaporean owns big pig farms in batam to supply pork to Singaporeans so is this singaporean also profiteering unreasonably?

The PAP government does not care about price increase because with increase in prices collection from GST increases too. What can price increase do to them? Inflation? They could not care less. Rebellion? ISD and its ISA is there to take care of this.

What I mentioned in post #1 arewhat I bought yesterday. It's a good sampling of what price increase in SG is.

The average Singaporean is suffering. prices have gone up a lot. But the pap is living in self delusion and denial. It's ok for them to deny that cost of living has gone up because they dont really feel the increase as they pay themselves obscenely. Because of their obscene pay, they dont understand the plight and misery of the people.

Ask the average Singaporean and you can feel their pain.

We are not getting swiss standard of living but we are paying Swiss cost of living. The poor SG worker is paid SG's low wages but is paying high Swiss cost of living. It is just not sustainable. I am sure this was not what PM GCT had in mind when he promised Singaporeans Swiss standard of living by 1999.

We are waiting for disaster to happen.
