Aug 24:

‘With rents rising, and some retailers not passing on the GST hike until later, we expect CPI inflation to continue to climb, probably close to 3 per cent towards year-end,’ said Citigroup economist Chua Hak Bin.

“Consumers Association of Singapore president Yeo Guat Kwang, who is also MP for Aljunied GRC, said if prices go up because of supply and demand conditions, that cannot be helped: ‘What we need to ensure is that price adjustments are fair.

‘So far, we haven’t seen a phenomenon of businesses profiteering from the GST rise,’ said Mr Yeo, who is the deputy chairman of the Committee Against GST Profiteering.

‘Most importantly, prices of basic necessities have remained stable.’

Re: The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore

Since when Fish(Seafood) is cheaper than Chicken (Poultry) ?? Ikan Bilis ??

I find the MP's statement unbelievable.

Reminds me of a story from France.

Minister : The people are complaining they can no longer afford bread and are going hungry.

Queen: Cannot afford bread ? Eat biscuits lor .....(meaning not my fault)....lol



MP for Jurong GRC Halimah Yacob, who will ask Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang how the Government is tackling the situation, said more can be done to educate people on eating less-costly alternatives.



'For example, the price of chicken may be rising fast, but we can encourage Singaporeans to turn to alternative sources of protein, such as fish,' she told The Straits Times yesterday.

Higher living costs to get airing in Parliament
Food prices, property payment scheme and MediShield on agendaBy Keith Lin




THE rising cost of living will be high on the agenda when Parliament sits on Monday.

Two MPs have tabled questions that reflect their concern on how fast-rising food prices are causing a dent in the Singaporean's wallet.

Wheat prices, for example, are at global historic highs owing to droughts in Australia and crop failures in the United States. They have, in turn, caused animal feed, and hence meat, to become more costly.

MP for Jurong GRC Halimah Yacob, who will ask Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang how the Government is tackling the situation, said more can be done to educate people on eating less-costly alternatives.

'For example, the price of chicken may be rising fast, but we can encourage Singaporeans to turn to alternative sources of protein, such as fish,' she told The Straits Times yesterday.

Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim wants to know, among other things, the impact of the hike in the goods and services tax in July on rising consumer prices.

On the property market, Madam Ho Geok Choo (West Coast GRC) will ask National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan for an update on the impact of the recent withdrawal of the deferred payment scheme.

The scheme allowed home buyers to pay upfront as little as 10 per cent of a property's price, with the rest paid only when the property is ready. The Government scrapped it last month to curb speculation.

Issues on the MediShield insurance scheme are also expected to receive an airing, with three questions filed.

One is from MP for Jalan Besar GRC Denise Phua, who wants Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan to clarify whether the new move to give children automatic MediShield cover will include those with special needs.

From next month, children will start to have such cover, which is for hospital stay. Insurance premiums will be paid from their parents' Medisave fund.

'As I understand it, those born with pre-existing illnesses are not included,' Ms Phua said yesterday. 'I hope these children can enjoy the same kind of medical coverage, just like normal Singaporean children.' Five new Bills will be introduced, while another five introduced earlier are up for debate. One slated for debate is the National Registry of Diseases Bill, which calls for the setting up of a national disease database to collate data on common illnesses.

Re: The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore

http://forums.$$$$$$$$$$$$.com.sg/sh...1570470&page=7


MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew called for a sense of proportion yesterday, pointing out that the annual wage bill for ministers and all office holders is $46 million - or just 0.022 per cent of Singapore's total economic output.


It was an 'absurdity', he said, for Singaporeans to quarrel over whether ministers collectively should be paid $10 million or $20 million more, when an economy worth $210 billion was at stake

'The cure to all this talk is really a good dose of incompetent government,' he said in his first comments on impending salary increases for ministers and top civil servants. 'You get that alternative and you'll never put Singapore together again.'

Singaporeans' asset values would also disappear, he warned, adding that 'your apartment will be worth a fraction of what it is, your jobs will be in peril, your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people's countries'.

He said the present system of benchmarking ministers' pay to top private sector salaries was 'completely above board' and allowed the Government to recruit 'some of the very best' to lead the country

When it was put to him that people hoped for leaders who were willing to make sacrifices and who were not there for the money, he replied that these were 'admirable sentiments'. But he added that 'we live in the real world'.

His bottom line: if the Government could not pay competitive salaries, Singapore would not be able to compete and 'we're not going to live well'.

Re: The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore

We are already one of the costliest cities to live in, in this world. But our govt keeps saying stuffs in singapore are relatively cheap as compared to the world. I always wonder how they compare? Or are they comparing only with the less than 10 cities that are costliest than us only. Who is being transparent or are statistics by these surveys false?

I am waiting for that foul retard old man laucheebye sadfa to comment here.
You probably must be one of those fucking rich guys who earn more than S$5000.00 per month salary as you can afford to monitor and budget your cash flow . Most of us are drawing low salaries and cannot afford to adjust our cash flow anymore . We are already spending on bare necessities . All these price increases will further erode our ability to spend our basic neceissaties .

Re: The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore

Eh, fuck man. Why do I see this political shit in a sex forum? For goodness sake, don't kill my sex drive with this crap, go and rant on hwz if you need to. Right content for the right platform. Don't be a smart ass to think people appreciate this garbage on a sex forum.

While it's true prices of limited resources will naturally increase, fucking garbagement really do nothing to stem the rise. At the most is give gst credit n problem solved. After that they'll say don't disturb me.

Another delusional frog in the well.

You work hard and earn much is your own business. It does not mean rise in cost of living will go away or is correct.

You tighten your own belt due to rise in cost of living is your own business. It does not mean rise in cost of living will go away or is correct.

You lower your standard of living to meet the rise in cost of living is your own business. It does not mean rise in cost of living will go away or is correct.

In Singapore, the rise in cost of living is hugely cause directly or indirectly by government policies on transport, housing, education etc

Either you fight it by voting out PAP or accept it like a pet waiting for food distribution by its owner. Owner decides how much food to distribute to his pets.

You should not want Government rebates or handouts, you should want Government to decrease cost of living.

Whilst I was reading yr post, I thought u improved until I saw yr last line.

Garbagement is really a curse on spore.
When the forefathers, the REAL FOREFATHERS Voted them in, they never imagine inviting a wolf or brutal dictatorship into their house. Now regret also too late le

Hope u realise matching my standards veryyyyyyy difficult
