SINGAPORE — Are you willing to fork out $3,000 for "rare fried chicken cutlet" or $1,500 for a photo of a plate of chicken rice? Or a mouth-watering $10,000 for a live chicken or 50 fried chicken wings coated with 24-karat gold leaves? Yahoo News
This is a simple supply and demand issue. The more mouths to feed, and the lesser the supply of food, the more expensive food prices would be. Or the more applicants available for jobs, then more people would be jobless, especially untalented Singaporeans from very expensive world best universities with genuine degrees that cannot be eaten How many people think we should have more third world background unknowns with A grades from funny universities or degree mills? Can anyone fail to under this logic? How many people think we should have 10m people on this piece of rock?
But if we have magicians, we can have miracles and defy gravity.
I think more people will now switch to eating fish. Price of fish now would be cheaper than chicken.
3.4 million Sinkies (including many new citizens) plus 2.3 million foreigners on a very tiny island lead to increased shortage in food and water resources and elevated prices for essentials . . .
ReplyDeleteThe Little Red Dot is run by magicians in white costumes. They can print papers costing about $100,000 which they named COE and which you need if you want to drive a car, they can change the meaning of words like public assembly, change a person 's race from Indian to Malay, convince citizens to drink shit water, convert foreigners with fake degrees into talent we need, etc. But I think nothing beats the magic in making the citizens believe that without them Singapore will be no more.

Isn't fish getting more expensive by the day due to overfishing??
ReplyDeleteIf so, pork may become cheaper than chicken or seafood!
ReplyDeleteTelecasted by CNA yesterday that seafoods have gone up
abouy 25%.
I expect everything to go up whether announced, reported or not.
If you eat out, fish is the most expensive item next to squid. Right, everything is more expensive. The inflation figure reported is a joke. It must be from another planet. Inflation is realistically much much more than that.
ReplyDeleteWhether chicken, pork or fish, they all get more expensive when one item goes up in price. As demand for chicken goes down when it gets expensive, people eat pork instead and if more people eat pork, except Muslims, pork prices will also rise. It also applies to fish.
ReplyDeleteYou can try avoiding, you can try substituting, but you still end up paying more eventually for everything. There is no escape.
Hello to all the keyboard warriors who are complaining here. Please do not be sad, because you have the best team of 4G government in Singapore to take good care of you. You voted them in with a large majority, so why KPKB? I am sure you will vote them in again in the next GE with an even larger mandate. Live with it and do not be sad. Live with it, things will never change. Your children and grandchildren will also have the same efficient 4G, 5G, 6G PAP government. Singapore will be the best place on earth to live in, even better than the Swiss standard.
ReplyDeleteBestest of the Best in power, always thinking that inflation is the trend to go in order to increase everything, from potatoes to a golden chicken that may cost $1000 a piece.
ReplyDeleteInflation is the function of the GDP growth and all other ills that follow.
What are all the things that this government has been doing in the past?
Creating value-added papers, e.g. creating the 300% Extra Tax on Car Prices, the COE, the ERP, the Licences, the Property Tax, the Revenue Tax, the Poor Men Tax (GST) and many others.
Think.
GST is also a tax on the unborn, and a tax on the departed. It is all embracing. While income tax is levied only on those who work and earn an income, GST is a comprehensive tax on every living bean that moves - babies, toddlers, teens, adults, middle age, elderly and the departed.

ReplyDeleteWow! Where can I buy this? I've been looking all over for a special dish like this. Don't worry, I can afford this.
10m people on this rock is not a real problem. 2om maybe. The PAP has done well for 60 years. Overpopulation is not difficult to solve. We have other food sources, and our garment is already discussing with Elon Musk for food to be grown in space by 2050 or 2060 when the space station is up. We are already ahead of the curve.
ReplyDeleteSingapore Decides to Tackle Water Shortage With... Beer Made From Urine - Sputnik News May 29
ReplyDeleteWater is an essential ingredient in making beer. Depending on its style, beer may consist of up to 95 percent water, and it may take seven gallons of water to produce one gallon of beer. Those worried about wasting too much water for brewing have come up with a rather audacious way of solving the problem.
Singapore's water agency suggested a new craft beer that is made mostly of wastewater in order to address water shortage concerns, according to The Independent.
NEWBrew is a tropical blonde ale that is claimed to have a “toasted, honey-like aftertaste”, even though before brewing it consists of urine and sewage water. Naturally, the wastewater is made "ultra-clean" before it makes its way into your pint.
And it seems that beer lovers are perfectly fine with the new drink.
