Stop hoping.
They are part of the chain gang that are causing all the inflation.
So, what do you think ?
they will have a report in this. I am confident. Yes, I should not hope but expext

It’s not so simple. Inflation is not only in SGP. I cannot say for others. I am living simply with some year end spendings.

how are you coping?

The above committee will waste money and time to meet and give advice that no one will follow since they are no laws.
Setting up the committee and the wayang after that are considered as work done for them.
The price increase will still remains after all the wayang.

Agreed that inflation is not just here only.
But, most of the business are raising their price by 12% and above.
From $3.50 to $5.00 - 42% increase for some food.
Plus 30 cents for the plastic box.

Seriously, what I can do ?
Eat more instant mee and reduce eating out now.
That is nothing much I can cut cost from.
I can rant here but it is as good as the above wayang in not reducing GREED.

lets see whether the wayang can result in some positives.

Regarding pricing, i shudder when i see small portions and small plates. I think caipng is still VFM compared with many others.

I am comfortable with my income. However, i do eat more instant noodles nowadays. The Nissin Hokkaido soya noodles etc are quite nice. Just add an egg. Maybe some vegetables.

If consumers cut down on expensive meals, the inflation will hit them less. There are choices. Not for petrol or electricity which is small change compared to just eating at a restaurant which can easily set one back by $30 per person.

Which pricing increase not legit? Which product is not affected by oil increase aka transportation? The simi panel is as usual useless and toothless
