Grace Fu: "I always think that if you're prepared to pay S$18 or S$20 for a pasta, why are you not prepared to pay S$5 for wonton mee?"

Basic economics 101: pasta and wanton mee are not perfect substitutes.
Different market, different demand, different supply, different equivalent price and qty.

To make any comparison between them in such a trivial way, i see it as gaslighting designed to foo simple minded.

Grace Foo just cost pappy my vote.

You cannot blame her, the ivory tower is too high up, no wonder PAP has lost touch with peasants and the common man on the street.

true to a certain extent. Hawker also doing business cannot expect them to price too low, they are not doing charity.

But some people expect hawker forever must be cheap, but on the other hand willing to go restaurant jiak expensive ramen.

Cost price for hawker also increased over time, fair to have price increase.
