Protest against cost rise?

We cannot do anything about the inflation. But I hope the government will take more care to groom local SMEs. Protect local enterprises!!!!Originally posted by kaister:You're seriously not familiar with Singapore's culture. Protest is unofficially not allowed. All the past protests, as far as I recall, all ended with protestors suffering.
It cannot be done.
Then again, why protest against cost rise? It's part of inflation, you should protest against other more meaningful issues such as job security, social welfare (if there's any), or elitism (See Wee-Wee incident).
Like what Japan does, protect home-grown enterprises and industries... Increase tax on imports, encourage Singapore-made products....
Sad to say, our gahmen will tell you they did, cos they are the ones who has their fingers in all the pies, and spoiling it...

reali anotOriginally posted by ^spidee^:Inflation is the increase in the general price level, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A basket of goods is used to compare annual changes in the index, which usually contains a number of the most commonly bought food and household items. Hence, when the price of these goods increase (e.g. increase in the price of bananas in Australia due to Cyclone Larry), among other things, the CPI increase.
You can find Singapore's CPI figures from 2001 to Aug 2006 (2004 is the base year) on page 56 of this document: http://www.mas.gov.sg/dataroom/download/msb/september%202006%20Vol%2027%20No%209.pdf
every inflation only 2 % nia

Our gahmen is not protecting our interest, If u raise a problem, they will have tons of reason to back them up. Wat happen is mid-lower class ppl dun really know wat they can fight for their own interest. When come to giving out of shares to every Singaporean, you heard rich ppl say this amonut is only enough for a dinner. Wat made us think is the system here is unbalance, the poorer ppl need more help than wat gahmen are doing now. They have a long way b4 they can call themself as world class gahmen who drawing world class salary.
