I just realised that a small Coke at McDonald’s is $3.15 yesterday. It was $1.25 when I was in my teens. Then it was $2.50 like not long ago? Suddenly it’s $3.15?

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.

Garment will pofma u and say fake news cos inflation only derisory. It don't exist in their dictionary.

no lah. it implies reducing the reliance on rent seeking behaviour as part of the profit seeking component of the whole scheme of things. policy kinda of thing.

Think there only 1 HKM stall, just look out for that friendly auntie.

There is one more on the other side.
However, the order for CKT is more.

This will only lost many customers in long term run and closed down. Food thing is to full stomach only.

No leh, inflationary policies are pushing up the prices everywhere. Consumers do not have a choice. We should join PAP to exploit consumers.

Too bad, S'pore doesn't have Trump as PM, just a bunch of monitor lizards that help themselves with the cookies jug.

By the way, who did you vote for ?!?
