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.
I sense that you are fortunate enough not to realise the steep price increase. For the lower income, the steep price increase means they have less of basic necessities. Alternatively, these less fortunate may have to skip a meal a day just to make ends meet.

It's sad but it's a reality that such is the situation facing some Singaporeans
