NTUC helping out in lowering the cost of living

At least the Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation can look forward to some financial relief in July till June next year. They could get their kopi or teh fixes every Wednesday for 50 cents per cup in NTUC foodcourts and Kopitiams. And for Union Members, this privilege comes earlier, in May. According to the media report, 1.7m people are going to benefit from this. If one person is to pay $1 less, that would be $1.7m less to pay every Wednesday.
 

The NTUC has responded to the fears and concerns of workers’ anxieties about the cost of living. With this discounted kopi and teh, including Kopi O, Kopi C, teh O and teh C, all at 50 cents a cup and one can drink as many cuppas as one like on every Wednesday, the whole day.
 

Think of the savings from drinking kopi or teh for the whole day, it would come to quite a substantial sum. If one just takes a cup of kopi or the each for 3 meals, it would cost only $1.50 a day. And given the price of Kopi/teh at $1.60, that is more than $3 savings a day. OK, for those millionaires and billionaires, please do not take advantage of this privilege just because there is no mean testing, go for your designer drinks at $5 or $20 a cup in the branded coffee joints. This is for workers in the Pioneer and Merdeka Generations. I will still stick to my 3 in 1 at 20 cents a pack. Hopefully they will look into the 3 in 1s and reduce the price to 10 cents per pack. Then it will be some savings for me to count on.
 

Would be nice if every Monday or Friday ‘chap chye png’ would be $1 for two veg and a meat meal. Keeping my fingers crossed that this would be next in the list to lower the cost of living for the oldie workers.
 

Thank you NTUC, you are most kind. Oops, must thank Mary Liew and Ng Chee Meng for this initiative. Every cent counts. It is heartwarming that millionaires could be caring and still think of helping the poor to save a few cents per cuppa.

I get 50 cents per cup from Monday to Friday at Yishun. Not just for Seniors but everybody.

NTUC is a cheapskate paying only cursory importance to "helping" the poor. It's "let go - scared it flies away; caged - scared it will die" mentality has not changed a little bit since 30 years ago!

@All,

War stocks lah!!!

Becoz of my plans & actions starting from 20 yrs ago, everyday now is a holiday for me. Who cares about 50 cents here or $1 there, or $10 here and $20 there?

Frankly such news is irrelevant for 99% of sinkies -- it doesn't improve their lives one bit. I don't even know about this 50 cents kopi unti I read it here. Meaningless.

Well I suppose it's something for losers who fucked up their lives (and probably fucked up their next generation too) -- and still fucking up their lives.

Whoa......what great savings for me a pioneer generation and my better half a merdeka generation. My middle aged children will probably be called Sacrifice generation a few years down the road before the next election after the impending one and offered great savings as well.

Now, we saved a ton of money because to take advantage of the magnanimous gesture courtesy of the two value added MPs foresight and brainwave, we only drink kopi on Wednesdays and in typical kiasi Sinkie fashion, many many cups so as not to lose out.

OK, joke over, can we concentrate on more pressing issues besides this kopi stuff?

For instance, paying attention to the thoughts of POTUS wannabe Andrew Yang, how about getting the labour movement to think what happens when automation and AI locks out jobs because by then, Grab won't even need drivers.

Cheap kopi on Wednesdays.....Jeez

Not to worry. To save more, what you can do is to drink 28 cups in one day on every Wednesday and don't drink from every Thrusday to Tuesday.

Government planning longer-term measures while addressing immediate concerns of workers: Josephine Teo (Straits Times April 29 2019)

For the longer term, the retirement and re-employment ages will be gradually raised beyond 62 and 67 respectively.

Looks like CPF withdrawal age going to be raised to 70 !!

@ all

I wonder who comes up with these ideas...and I wonder who actually allows these ideas to PASS into some form of "policy" or action.

This either a joke, or insult lah. As WSG says, this is just irrelevant. And I agree with @1052, they're a pack of CUNTs.

Like that, pack 1000 cups home every Wed. Thank NTUC for saving you $1000 every week.

Will NTUC slap this as a promotion expense and make the food sellers pay?

Why loan sharks love to come and advertise at this blog? Is it because there are too many people here playing shares (gambling)?

OK, posts deleted.

Hi, writer of the above texts. Good things must be shared with all readers, right ? So, perhaps, you can furnish us the name and the F&B outlet address at Yishun, and help to spread the news around. You will be doing a good deed. Thanks.
