Last nite was quite pissed when i heard the news about consumers asking if the transport fees will be lowered coz now the oil is very cheap. The reporter read the statement from our Transport minister saying the transport prices are Not linked to oil prices! OMG...it is obvious they dont want to lower the transport costs for consumers. I remembered clearly that time they increase the transport fee is due to high oil prices!~ And now this minister said "No, not linked?". What rubbish! I woke up this morning and the first thing i tot was this issue. It is cheating citizens eyes wide open. If not for tamed Singaporeans, we will have riots already.

I used to think our Government is 1st class. No longer so. In 2009, the world will go into deeper recession. Wonder what going to happen to these lower income groups, esp if they got retrenched.. Is the special $$ package arriving on 21st Jan (i think) helping them? Gullible citizens will think it is a big ang bao from the government coz it is near CNY time. Most likely they will spend it on CNY stuffs and tat's it.
Singapore has half a million people earning S$1200 or less. It is so unbelievable because we are "World Class" but have 3rd world wages. In Japan, the minimum wage is Y800/hr ( i think). Now, that is what i mean by World Class economy with World Class wage.
Haiz,,, I no longer dare to brag about our government when i go to japan..
Dear Xuann,
Yes, Yoshiki's brain is soo superb. He is sooo creative and all his ideas turned into bling blings. I believe he got the satisfaction of coming up with sooo many unique ideas. Uniquely Japan!!
Yoshiki is a very good example of ideas = $$. Maybe he has read the book "Think and Grow Rich" donkey years ago. His war chest are never empty.

My god lah! Transport prices are not linked to oil prices?! Who the heck are they bluffing? Couldn't they at least come up with a more plausible lie? It's quite ridiculous that the government is supposed to answer to the people, and now apparently, the people are not even worth a decent, considered explanation from the government for their refusal to lower transport fares.
Japan's cost of living is said to be higher as well? Apparently there are no hawker centres or anything, only restaurants so it'd be reasonable for the minimum wage to be a little higher than ours. But I agree that it's disgraceful how little we pay the part-time staff too.
Yoshiki is love! <3
Scary right? Our government can lie thru their teeth, with eyes wide open...
Yes, Japan's cost of living is high and it matches their salary. Here, it is vice versa. Low salary but high cost of living. Worst of all, our government kept saying Singapore is "World Class". Yeah right,,my foot!
Hmm..maybe someone should open a hawker centre in japan..hahaha.. i shall go sell assorted desserts and bubble tea..
