[GPGT] Price increase of 30% a certain local hawker food in 5 years, inflation is real

[Ubi-Warrior]

I remember when I was in Sec sch, movie ticket was $7, then in Uni, $9. After 10 years of working, now its $14 on a weekday.
In a few years a ticket will be $20
I'm freaking scared.
Last time chicken rice was $2.50. Now it is $5.50.
Remember who to vote for

Why dont you start the ball rolling.

Tell your boss you want a pay cut to help bring prices down

I am a HKM lover and i have a habit of taking photos of the stall and send to my family groupchat to see if anyone wanna eat so i can shunbian buy for them as well.
So as i was clearing my photo gallery and was surprised to find this photos which clearly depicted the distinct difference in prices shown in the three photos. First photo taken was on Dec 2019, 5 years ago where you can see the smallest portion of HKM is $3.50.
Next photo was taken on Jun 2021, 3 years ago where you can see from the pic clearly the smallest portion of HKM have increased to the price of $4.
The last photo I felt is the most ridiculous one, was taken last year on Jan 2023, where you can see from the pic the price of the smallest portion of HKM have increased to the price of $5.
I'm just afraid the price will rise again to $6 next year.
In conclusion, within the span of 5 years, the price have increased by an alarming 30%, let's ask ourselves this question, our salary got increase so much or not? Many of us have no salary increment and our pay is already stagnant.

Lucky my mamak mee goreng still arnd 4-5 since eons.

Just don't patron the stall anymore.

But then hyperinflation root cause is the 60%. What to do.

Ever since covid I stopped spending to enter cinema.

Just wait to watch online, Netflix and etc.

Hell yeah, I only watch when there's blockbusters or K-movies

It's not great when an adult ticket is 27RM and senior citizen is 9RM in JB

People complain so much... 50% increase over 10 years leh. $3=>$4 - $4.50. No wonder people don't want to do traditional hawker food. Must upscale and make more atas.

Of course it’s real. It was set in motion by Kamala when she voted for the inflation “reduction” act. Our government was also unable to shield Singapore from the fallout.

BTW, you should check your camera. It’s full of flies.

$4 also want to complain? Which other developed country in the world can you find a meal for $4. Crazy

If your pay stagnant, then it is your fault for not finding new jobs lor

30% or 130%?

Feels like 170% though.

hkm at $3.50 during 2019 is already an outlier, already long overdue for price increase.

Last time salary was higher due to not much FT to compete.
Now need to lower down our salary expectations to compete with them.
So, will hawker reduce if our salary lowered or worse get retrenched.

I am ok they increase the price if my salary increase, are they ok if we got retrenched and they sell lower bo

4.50 for a fishball noodle or chicken rice is justified, but not 5 and above in a hawker center cause food eatz at mall selling sell than five
