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.

ReplyDeleteI 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,
ReplyDeleteWar 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.
ReplyDeleteNow, 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
Hi

ReplyDeleteGov in this world only care about the rich and making the rich richer by screwing the notrich. Try to be rich so they care about you.
ReplyDeleteNTUC by now should be known as CUNT by all the old folks!
ReplyDeleteCUNT = Con Until Nobody Trust.

They really think that Sinkies are cheapskates.
Hi all

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.
Correct?

ReplyDeleteGovernment planning longer-term measures while addressing immediate concerns of workers: Josephine Teo (Straits Times April 29 2019)
ReplyDeleteFor 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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Dr. Plus, is your Friend a loan shark?
ReplyDeleteI think both Mrs. Sharon and dr. Plus need to be sodomized lar as loan sharks. 😀
ReplyDelete"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."
ReplyDeleteLike 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)?
ReplyDeleteLoan shark business also affected, desperate, blogs also don't give up.
ReplyDeleteOK, 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.
