An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

I feel that anyone who works should minimally be able to afford basic needs to live in the country but sadly our society dun think so.

Quote:
this gov is trying to make life as miserable as possible for the poors.
in the past the poors can afford to hv a meal drink in any of the coffee in sg.dont hv to ask price,just sit down and hv your meal.
NOW?this gov has to make them miserable going ard ask the price 1st before they can hv a peaceful mind to hv a meal there.if some estate dont hv cheap food,cheap drink,they dont hv to eat drink anymore?today u see this pricing,u qurrantee the rest of the coffeeshop will not follow?
even u force those poor ones to eat at home,price of a can food or the thing at market will not cost cheap too,some of u cook at home might cost u more expensive then u eat outslde.gd luck singapore.
dont believe,no harm trying buying a drink there.
are u telling me again,dont drink milo can drink coffee?
dont smoke cig can smoke angho? must we do this in a rich country?1st world country ??where this gov is providing this kind of life style for the citizen. poor people not human?poor people didnt contriblue??

a poor low income earner earn $1k per mth.
minus out $200 for cpf,balance $800.

3 meal a day,find the cheapest food in singapore.
a drink and a plate of rice cost u $5 x 3 meal a day x 30 days = $450

pls bare in mind,NO supper no snack no extra drink when u feel thirty or whatever.$450 just for 3 meal a day.

single trip to work and come back = $150 (might be more if u travel long distance.) again remember,cannot efford to travel any other place,work go hm 365 days.

phone bill home item $100,find cheapest soap shampoo etc,cannot afford buy cloth whatever as your wish.dont think is enough.

total $700 make sure u dont fall sick 365 days.

pls note,havent end yet..............

if u hv an hdb flat or hv to pay rent,then u very fast run road,not enough money borrow here and there,end up you will hv a lot of debt.

have to pay TC,insurance,pub bill etc etc.might end up a few more hundred.
u cannot afford home item like bed, tv ,furniture etc etc,if u hv them,make sure those thing dont spoil,if not u cannot afford to buy a new set.

cannot travel cannot catch a show,cannot whatever..work ,eat ,wait to die.this is the life of local poor singaporean staying in 1st world country.

can save??got extra money to buy insurance?? can benefit from those scheme?
can afford to hv children?they dont hv parent to take care??money enough??not enough find who?old uncle want smoke to relax after a long day of work,this is the only thing they can do,tax them high high?if they try save money,buy cheaper ciq,fine them.
