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?"

[Medicated Oil]

She did not realize that some of the residents cannot even afford or able to spare the money to eat $18 pasta.
Of course, she does not know any one of them for sure.

It is like explaining poverty to some one who have not struggle or starve in her own entire lifetime.
Why do the residents want to keep more of these unfeeling beings around ?

How often do the average person patronise restaurants vs hawkers?
The meal in a restaurant is an occasional treat, not a daily necessarily, unlike meals at hawkers ( unless you cook)

Ya

Really out of touch nonsense
Should make her lose votes

This type probably can drink $7 or 10 coffee daily
Whereas the regular Joe drinks his 80 cents coffee at coffee shop

Probably why she thinks 5 cents per plastic bag is a non issue

 

[sAVaGEmP5]

I always think this is a stupid comparison.

A lot of people rely on hawker everyday

$5 for 2 meals x 20 days as a floor is quite steep if you got family of 4-5 don’t you think

Can u give examples of government prohibit ppl to cook at home ?

Your comments insinuated that.

Very graceful comment, she assumes everyone eats $18 or $20 pasta everyday.

Waa a big red flag … better avoid if not hawker going raise to $10 ?

 

[MyWill]

If i am only prepared for a $6 pasta? So wonton mee should be $2?

i cook my own pasta and wantan mee. so both vendors gg.com anyways

 

[HirotoXeno]

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.

Is it because their salary too high liao? Ask them paycut liao la.

long queue at restaurants everyday at shopping mall during meal times.

$5 for wanton mee is not unreasonable. Anyone who still expects $2-$3 meals are unrealistic.

Salary review is upcoming after the campaign.
She is pretty confident of getting her seat back.
So is Sister "In Touch" too.
And for JoJo.
Three of them are holding hands.

One white pappy can hire how many oppo ?

 

[Akky85]

Ivory tower eats $20 pasta as staple food. while I'm eating $2 cai png as staple food.

2 bucks cai png is what? Rice + something like steam egg?

 

[Evil_Boss]

wow... she assumes people eat at restaurant. this whole month i never even go out to eat hor.

 

[Glectrix]

Nobody is willing to pay $18 for pasta lol. She really like Halimah. Im ok to pay $5 for wanton mee though.

 

[mel1888]

How can an adult be so damn effin stupid, a minister at tat. too clever till becum too stoopid, too rich till becum too arrogant. ARROGANTLY STUPID

Yep. Arrogant is right. Look at they way she argued with oppo in parliment. Refusin to sit down and questioning like a teacher vs student.

Not really I don’t think it prohibits people to cook but if you got dual income you’re working and it’s a lifestyle habit thing.

so what you are saying is all hawker food should be $20 becoming like inelasyic giffen goods?

lets talk about cooking for two. Fresh - chicken parts per pack is 5-8$
- Veg is 2.50 - $3.50
- Rice is about $14 per x.kg
- soup prep is $15-20 per pot if you cook properly

it only make sense if you have economic or scale.

please point out how fight to bottom of cost make sense when top line keeps going up

 

[newcell]

If only all citizens have monthly vouchers equivalent to her paid, why not.

 

[junjie433]

Who the F pays $18 for pasta regularly????
WHO?

I think I have paid ZERO $18 pasta before
Unless pasta comes with a huge chunk of steak on top.of it

Really out of touch elitist
Vote her out

Herself? She is really out of touch in her ivory tower.
