Got hype,... hike up electricity cost by 21% immediately ... maybe to cover the cost of running F1 loh or to put something nice before deliver bad news that basic necessities which the govt (so cleverly privatized in the name of lower costs) will increase now increase and continue to increase yearly and we all can do shit about it but suck thumb and kao peh.  And who is still in power? Who will forever be in power?

yes my mother outlaw

sometimes I watch movies where they talk about Singapore. Singapore always come across as a place of crime, dishonesty, money laundering, people are generally bad eggs and transient migratory types etc Mostly not in good light...  maybe that's prophetic of what might come

stupid trade.  priorities all wrong.

you obviously did not read the international news, not local news, about ah bian wash money case.

Isn't Singapore implicated that Ah Bian is using Singapore to launder his ill-gotten gains?  Correct me if I am wrong... I didn't read about his case cause I think he is a loser and a failure and should never have been voted into his position to begin with and yet stayed in power for 2 whole terms. Ditto for Bush Junior

Awakening a kind heart  by Ven. Sangye Khadro. Its a free book.

is that an severely under-estimation of our foreign reserves... or there sprung a leak somewhere and the money is being syphoned away while the public is paying for it.

The CEO is now the chairman controlling the puppet he put in his place. Top mgt hated the puppet and left in droves. I figured that if IBM and HP is able to come out shining from their issues and my company is still swaddling in that shit they created for themselves. Then I best leave before it tank and I go with it. In utter disgust and depression, I had to let go of all my share/options. Cut my loss. I shall never ever forget my 6 f*kup years of pay freeze and some minor bonus in options.  It was a painful lesson. And the CEO/Board are still in their dream world of excess and million dollars of pay.

Ubi said good bye to their estate, I am in Kaki Bukit area ... and I said good bye to my estate and never ever walk near an of these piss drunk people - there are a lot of dark places and NOT much help from your neighbourhood police or even your neighbourhood.

So much for heartlands. Now its wastelands.

hahah I got burnt in one of my previous tech company when they offer zero bonue but everything in share. fuk the damn shares. drop to lowest $2.50. I shall never regret leave the stupid place

parent's money obviously.

in fact i think the middle class, middle lower or lower class will be worse hit.

 

 

You are right. The rich are not really affected that much. Its the low and middle class that gets the brunt of the blashlash. Besides, all those CEO who drove their companies to the ground and world economies into hell, walked away with hundred million dollars of package. Then these same companies hire these failure of CEO to be consultant of their now shitty companies.

So I had not seen any of the rich people suffer in this financial meltdown. In actual fact, they might have walked out with more of the people's money.That's why the US public is so unhappy about using their tax dollar to bail out these companies when the people responsible for the melthdown are not penalized but rewarded instead.

Its the same here in our local context. There are many policies that did not deliver and get twisted into a different motivation (eg ERP) while the MPs get pay raise for the sole reason of corruption prevention. I refrain from refering them as brilliant as the solutions for some time now is : The Public has to bear the cost of whatever the Party decides to do.

all these increases in basic necessities is just causing real income to drop further with the coming recession which is supress salary growth and economic growth will slow down. All these is simply creating a harsher environment to survive. People's reaction in harsh environments has never been to be more civil or grace. However, it seems that all these increases always has some sort of "legal" and rather airy justification with the view that the singapore public can well afford to pay more (or donate more for the up coming president star charity). Its just a reflection of the ruling party losing touch with reality.

Her: learn a lesson

What are you to her? What are you helping her? To what extend are you going to help her?
