Before that were GST Hikes but the next you know to expect is more tax and tariff hikes.
PAP is BAD News, Nothing New.

Hopefully This Boy Scout Team does not become a Scapegoat of the Predecessor

the job market is so bad right now. I look at the influx of foreign talent paired with employers lowballing salary it's not looking too good for many of us hope the new cabinet can craft better policies to support locals. If this keeps up along with service businesses like f&b hiking prices up by 100% or more I don't think majority of will be able to survive the early career in Singapore. much less scrimp and save up for our housing and retirement. The gst hike was necessary but unfortunately our country is made up of too many sharks preying on such opportunity to cut a larger slice of the pie for themselves.

I bought from a small neighborhood store. The Super Value 600 Bread has increased from $1.10 to $2.30. That is 109% increase in price just 1.5 years ago.
How to Trust the PAP? you tell me especially when he said "GST Hike will not hurt the poor" and impact is one-off, not permanent?
These days, Trust Cannot Be Simply Granted.
