S’pore’s inflation rises by 5.5 per cent over one-year period

How to cope with the cost of living? Inflation is shooting up to the sky. What has the government done to help Singaporeans?

talking abt inflation n cost of living
did anyone noticed that the pap govt is one of the top-pusher in pushing up our cost of living?????
coe,public transpt fare,housing,govt-related charges etc
what is no going up???
our salary will never increase faster than cost-of-living
except minister

The poor and needy will suffer even more this year.
The best way to help them is to get our 183,000 millionaires to donate $10,000 each.

We will then have more than enough to help the poor and needy.

Th amount collected will then be $1.83 billion dollars more than any charitable even can ever collect.

Our new President TT , should get this project join instead of depending on digging into our reserves r collecting from the hearllanders

CPI increaes due to PAPs screwed up policy to alloe more FTs & foreigners and leaving behid S'poreans Thanks to the 60%.

Every year like dat! Every year like dat! How much longer you going to suck our blood! Tolonglah! Don't be so greedy.

Since when did the COE premiums had declined?

The day will come when Poor Singaporean will be so poor and started robbing foreigner like all other country around the world, such a mass protest happen, that will be the end of Pay and Pay and honestly i could see that coming and happening in this heartland... Welcome more foreigner idiotic party runnig the show!!!

No salary rise.. No jobs to match the inflation.. where are we heading to?

Reduce on GST to balance-up the Difference. Let us breathe REALLY! We have Old Folks, Young Children & family to take care of. If these Simple tasks that Our Government CANNOT READ or FULLFIL ... Either They are Really Blind or Acting STUPID???

inflation rise 5.5%, bank interest rates got rise 5.5% to cover the inflation?
how to cope?
my god..

but 60% don't mind at all.they feel proud..

The cost of living in Sg is UP, UP AND AWAY. Our salaries increase by 2-3% annually, but inflation shot up by 5.5%, housing cost up by 9.6% , transport up by 11.4%, food cost also heading north. Our money gets smaller and smaller by the day but our expenses keep expanding to no end. It doesnt matter if we do not enjoy the SWISS standard of living, BUT it does matter A LOT when we have to bear the SWISS cost of living. The more immigrants MIWs imported into SG, the higher the demands for everything and the more acute our problems become. Is this what PM Lee mean by Singaporeans first? First in what? The first ones to SUFFER?

1) Higher cost of housing. HDB is happy! Each time new launch the unit price will go up.
2) Higher COE. Gov is happy! With fewer COEs but still collected bigger amount.

Above are able to control by PAP and they did the other way just to benefit them?
Big bonus for the year?

Can PAP do something immediate. Kwa you contribute the most.

We are slaves of the New World Order.

Our annual wage can't even match the increase in inflation per quarter. What is PAP government solution on this problem? In the past quarters, MAS has allowed Sing$ to appreciate to counter inflation but it was not working at all. We have almost the same inflation as Hong Kong despite that their HK dollar is depreciating. It is obvious that the root of the inflation problem is caused mainly by local issue e,g high rental due to high property price, high COE, etc.

All thanks to 60% voters. F@#king idiots....

PAP is actually making use of us so that we'll vote them. Now after we've voted them, they turn against us with crappy reasons as to why we've to raise the cost of XXXXXX...it's all bullsh!t! No way we'll ever ever vote for these imbecile who do nothing but suck our blood!Goodbye PAP!!!

CPI increased by 5.5 per cent. And 9.6 per cent rise in housing cost was due to higher accommodation cost and electricity tariffs.

BLOODY HELL PAP !

instead of blaming all the known external sources & causes, GOV should really work hard or work even harder to put in place means & ways to curb the inflation in term of ensuring our less fortunate people can cope with this.
