bigger question is all these festival surcharge by restaurants and kopitiams, will they revert after CNY?

i'm sure some elevated prices will remain... they will cite other bulls**t excuses

Let them charge what they want. I am planning to eat out a lot less in 2024 and save the money for overseas makan. Just had yakitori dinner for 5 with 3 rounds of various drinks. Ate till left quite a bit. 12200 yen. Damn siok.

I foresee a much higher percentage of Singaporeans in a fair time to come retiring in Malaysia.    And even if we dont move to Malaysia, we will move out of Singapore.  

What does that show?  You guys think about it.  I am simply going to make my vote count.

That is probably the unspoken intent - to get old unproductive sillypooreans out of Sg to make way for younger economically productive new immigrants. 

No difference from running a farm. Old sows that don't bear 12, 13 piglets each time and hens that don't lay eggs everyday are remove from the pens and slaughtered. Don't waste the space and feed.

Even Lim Tean could be better than some PAP candidates.   

moreover the Govt wasted so much money in so many stupid dumb projects over the years at our expense

Cost have gone up so much and taxes have gone up so much and since i am in the highest tax bracket i feel sibei extra cheated.

the cost for everything that i normally spent on has gone up easily 50% in the last 2yrs.  Simple low cost pleasures have bean taken away from us.  

Gone already if we continue this way.
