How Much Will This Meal Cost On 1 April?

This morning, I had my favourite Mee Pok and Teh-C Kosong breakfast. The meal cost me $6.60 ($5 for Mee Pok and $1.60 for my drink)

On 1 April, the water-hike comes in and one cubic meter of water will cost 20 cents more.

How much do you think this meal will cost come 1 April? And how much do you think it will cost on 1 April 2025 when water will be further hiked by 30 cents per cubic meter?

  • Fake Singaporean:

    FR: In any hawker centre, there will be 2 stalls selling the same food or beverage. Most commonly seen are 3 coffee stall or 3 rice stall. The smarter hawker will innovate like 3 vegie and 1 meat = $3 and plus $1 for coffee.

    FR, time to confess. Which country are you from?

    3 veg + 1 meat for $3. You must be a foreigner pretending to be a Singaporean.

    No real Sinkies will come out with so many mistakes.

    The MIW had ran out of ideas to grow the pie. Now, all they are concerned is to carve out up as big a slice as they can before they retire filthy rich at the expense of the daft ones…just like the ex-Minister who just sold his GCB at S$50 mil. So, the daft ones must continued to be milked till they drop dead. If they complain or protest just throw some breadcrumbs at them or spew some jargons or propaganda. All will be fine again.

  • Observer:

    Many idol-worshipper cities sell cheap roadside cooked food.

    The roadside food vendors throw gravies and curries into drains.

    People throw plastic containers and bones into drains.

    When it rains, the drains clog. The floodwaters mix with food waste, urine and faeces to soak shoes. The locals usually wear flip-flops.

    Over the years, I realized that the Creator causes idol-worshippers to make bad decisions. It is futile to advise them.

    We were told the impact of GST increase is is not permanent but we will be getting vouchers permanently.

    I think this “permanent..” means until after next GE.

    Also, we were told there will be no GST increase until 2030. That only can be true if PAP is voted out. If PAP is still in control, GST will be increased in 2031!

    COL especially “basic housing(HDB)” and Food plus healthcare costs are being exacerbted by “excess” demand from the high proportion of FTs/PRs working and living here.

    If our ministers think Cdc/Gst vouchers will “mitigate” inflation,they can’t be more deceitful or blur.
    Such vouchers actually feed on the “GREED” of businessmen ,even hawkers, whom i notice sell the “idea” that their cusromers(ordinary sgs) “DO NOT NEED TO PAY ,JUST USE CDC VOUCHERS,etc. ” and so CONveniently CHARGE HIGHER AND HIGHER ORICES AND FEEs.

    Such an environment actually serves to add fuel to “extraneuous” inflation beyond natueal supply/demand pressures.

    Even NTUC FAIRPRICE IS GUILTY of such profiteering.Touch our hearts and say not.

    CDC/GST vouchers are mere “stop-gap” measures.
    CONTROLLING N REGULATING INFALTION CANNOT BE DONE BY FLIMSY HALF-COMMITTED ACTIONS FROM THE G,IT MUST BE DONE MORE CONSCIENTIOUSLY AND INTEGRITY.

    HIGH RENTALS,NOW EXCESSIVE,IS ONE AREA THE G CAN AND MUST EXERT INFLUENCE.
    GLCs can set good examples via its price-making leadership in many areas of business that cut across industries.

    Controlling is the duty of the G.
    And,the G must ensure it does not get out of control.

    I agree with you, Chan is not an oppo member nor a supporter from the numerous PA-related appointments he has held. Strictly speaking, he is best considered as a lightning man, which most wealthy businessmen are.

    IMHO, what broke the camel’s back was probably he joined some political organization/group in China, which is disturbing because he is after all a Sinkie and influential since he heads so many organizations. He should have known better. unless he has no intention to return and migrate (China no way). It is not about just having beer with some officials or having business dealing with them, I am sure MHA did not single him out solely for that, else there would be a long line of SInkies waiting to be ‘queried’. Everyone knows that in order to do business in China, you need to know some officials to plow the road, but knowing and being in a political organization is entirely different.

    There are SO MANY WAYS THE G CAN HELP TO REGULARISE AND REGULATE COL/INFLATION.
    AND,GST/CDC VOUCHERS ARE SUBJECT TO ABUSE BY GREEDY VENDORS AND NAIVE CUSTOMERS.
    SUCH VOUCHERS DO NOT AID IN “FIGHTING ” INFALTION/COL BUT MAY EVEN UNWITTINGLY CONTRIBUTE TO PRICE INCREASES BECAUSE OF VENDORS’ GREED?
