Title: The govt is not tackling costs of living
Post by: Imboredtodeath on Jul 22, 2024, 09:15 AM
Tbh most people cant afford many things.

Even if can its just barely scraping by with the high hdb and other prices.

Now bto at central for 3 room i think already near 500k. U tell me this is affordable? Dont even talk abt resale.

PAP is shit. Total shit.

Tbh they are nor getting enough singles to pair up. Then raising a kid at least 200 to 300k without factoring inflation. Thats why best is single or DINK.

If got 2 kids and a resale at central u are looking at 1m+++

They really want to kill off all sinkies.

LW will tell you salary is moving upwards in tandem with housing prices. Desmond Lee will tell you $1mil hdb are minority despite there is an increasing number of them

Society is decaying but it is a slow process so many ppl heck care. Many already begin to take a step back from the rat race hustle and adopt a simpler life. There is how free gan and underconsumerism started worldwide.

Oh wait, doom and gloom only happen on edmw and MM... Sorry. Condos still selling out like hotcakes

Dun have to purposely pair up ppl. Just make the country/environment conducive for starting a family will do
As for house, dun have to get central too, that is IF hdb prices are more regulated

The statistics stated pay is increasing  ;D but this can be due to other factors like mass import, and rich men coming in.

I think its skewed. Also many mid career people like us are fucked by our lower startint pay and less increments unless we jump jobs or start own sideline such as another job or biz.

And those higher starting pay usually is mnc and govt and scholars and now have to compete with foreigners.

Those top grades or like drs and dentists sure got jobs la.

Then they also screw up dont want to admit more people into medical courses and nv improve lives of nurses and other occupations that we need

I think of median income family of duo parents working then can afford even just a two bedroom : 3 room flat in non prime area
So rest of them hv to be above average
In essence g / market telling us if u r average or below average don't start a family cos u can't afford even a roof of more than one bed room w bto

HDB ish running like a pte developer. Using taxpayers to sell re-sale at pte condo prices.
If no more votes to have more alternative parties, the CS will continue to work like a pte coy not public housing.

Cost of living issue is tied to some sensitive issues
Like cheap foreign labour, high networth foreigners, space

And the existing wealthy bunch who do not favour wealth sharing

My suggestion is that we topup skills future by 1k every year for citizens to allow them to continuously upgrade.

We should also give out more free bursaries for more subsidised education for citizens to level the playing field

There are many factors why birthrate dropping but gov always insists cost of living is not one of them

Cost of living is definitely not the one and only reason but I believe it is a major factor

But bro, you already done your part. Thank you!

Actually he's not the first MIW to do these brainwashing, and definitely not the last.

He and his scumbag colleagues always tell Singaporeans to do this and that, while they have done fuck all for the country.
