TR EMERITUS

Each time the G raise GST,LEVIES,ETC,private sector ADD-ON and make much more.
The G is a bad role model and exemplifies GREED .
The others take advantage and follow suit.
Nett outcome,COL keep$ going up n up even as quantity n quality get compromised.

Who can seriously disagree?

At this rate, good luck for those thinking of retiring in comfort. Was talking to colleagues of mine about how much they will need to retire. I asked if they have S$1m in their bank accounts now, can they retire? I was surprised they thought deeply and replied negative. Many of them have children who are still schooling with monthly bills, loans and other expenses.

20 years ago, if anyone has a million bucks in their bank account, many would have opted to quit their jobs. So if you work another 10 years, do you think you can earn $1m? Even if you can get $1m after 20 years starting today so what. By then the cost of a roti prata could be $3 or $4….$1m will be sip sip water let alone enough for retirement.

Dear Jufrie and Opposition,
Why ran away from my simple question here:
https://www.tremeritus.net/2023/09/25/one-other-opportunity-to-bring-about-change/

Please answer it.

Opposition cannot even answer my simple question, so don’t expect Opposition to solve your problem.

We urge all sound minded to ask Opposition the same simple question as mine.
They will run away …

Even if Prata cost S$10 per piece its not a BIG PROBLEM for our Ministers.

Our Ministers are paid more than 1 million dollars per year. Ministers enjoy while the public suffers. WTF

No Problem For Our Ministers: Even if Prata cost S$10 per piece its not a BIG PROBLEM for our Ministers.

Our Ministers are paid more than 1 million dollars per year. Ministers enjoy while the public suffers. WTF

Thew prices for hawker centers are set by the government ministry not by the hawker i.e. they can sell for higher price but not lower. Whatever they earn the majority is to pay back the lease. They are lucky to make anything at all nowadays. That is why there is a high turnover of tenants.

Every new ‘entrepreneur’ thinks he is clever in this business until reality hits him and then he joins the bankrupt and closes the business. There is an endless supply of such tenants – so the Regime never loses. This is a cash cow that will always work, 10 cents or $10.

Only a small segment of the people in Sinkiland eat roti prata on a frequent basis.

It is not a staple food.

Thus its selling price is not at all an indication of the cost of living in Sinkiland.

TRE Tech:
I have been missing Prata for years now, even when I am in HK, I cannot seems to get a stall that taste as good or same as local, especially the curry.

I am now able to get chilled Prata in China, but am still trying to emulate the (fish) curry that taste so good in Sinkiland.

Does anyone have the recipe for the local fish curry? Also, how about the chili used for local Hainanese chicken rice? Those I import from HK also don’t taste local or even nice.

Anyone please?

There is a brand – ‘Sing Long Hainanese Chicken Rice Chilli Sauce’.

Following recipe was taken from website:

Hainanese chicken rice chilli sauce
—-
10 pieces of chilli – remove seeds and cut into 1cm size
12 pieces of bird’s eye chilli (can reduce or add more depending on how spicy you like)
1 cup of chicken stock
2 bulbs of garlic
50g of ginger
Juice from 15 calamansi
3 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt

if you succeeded in making the sauce, give a few bottles to TRE supporters hahaha.

Tech: Thanks, will try it, if can then maybe market in China. lol

@TR Tech
I think your many posts on how Xi runs China, shows that the Chinese government protects it’s citizens from unscrupulous Corporate gains. The govt. has remained the regulator. In Singapore the govt. is the owner of the corporates and remains the regulator. So there is no protection for the population from govt. agencies. This is the contradiction in Singapore. The govt. does not represent the interests of the people but itself. In China, it is the Opposite.

Water bill going up…
Expect more expensive Roti Prata…

Relax:
@”Sometime a bit kaypoh; take a peek at receipts left at the ATMs and haven’t seen amount more than a couple of hundred dollars. Could I be mistaken?”

Response: maybe savings a/cs less than hundreds but fixed a/cs more than hundred thousands.

Just wondering why there is a local bank’s fixed deposit interest rates was calculated based on each placement previously but later changed to based on total placements, yet the board rates for smaller amounts is higher than bigger amounts? Isn’t this discouraging people to deposit large amount?

But those with fixed a/cs greater than $100,000 still fall into the 9% category which means the rest 91% still have less.
Why I question this is based on the reports:

2 in 3 working Singaporeans do not have savings to last them beyond 6 months:

Close to half of Singaporeans don’t have enough savings to tide through an emergency:

As far as I know present Board rates, individual/overall placements rates, still no change in their policies. Also there are different types of structured products offered by different banks. Your return is calculated according to a formula set out in the structured deposit’s terms and conditions based on the performance of an underlying financial asset, product or benchmark. These may include market indices, shares, interest rates, bonds or other fixed-income securities, foreign exchange rates, or a combination of these.

It is stupid to come to conclusion based on hearsay without verification.

Tech: I have been staying in China for the past 2 DECADES, how long have you been staying in China?

Don’t talk cawk la…. video speak a thousands words and my native born Chinese relative had to migrate to America to get better wages and not abused by employers.

The majority of Chinese kept quiet about their own kind unfair, immoral, inhumane way of treating lower class Chinese, including you Sinkies.

见高拜见低踩

Tech: So you have NOT been staying in China and your relative migrated when? BTW, consumption of drugs is illegal in China and if your relative willingly choose to consume it, then blame Xi issit?

Provided one has some intelligence. Otherwise, the longer they stay, the more they get brainwashed.
