Mah, everywhere u go, prices sure go up

Tired of all these nonsense. Suck us dried.
In Transport, implemented the ERP,COE..
In HDB, increase the parking, now even the low-income you also sucking.
My Friend, single, living in a 1 room rented flat with his aged mother (not working), paying a monthly house rental of $75/month. Earning 1,600 /mth. Now Garmen invited him to "lim kopi" and declared income if earning more than 1.2k or 1.3k then the rental going to increase 30%.
His father, passed away as an odd job labourer left with nothing for them. My friend just been working after his poly for 5 years. His CPF through all these isn't enough for him to buy a 3-rm flat.
Now after deducting CPF he brought back 1280, minus transport (about 100), minus outside work makan (about 200), minus household utilities (about 70),
give mother for food/maintenance (300) minus house rental (75), He barely had enough for entertainments. If that month kenna people's death or wedding, then it gonna really live by the last cent. Now garmen still want to suck him somemore. Damm..
What crazy Fucker idea/policy created is that earn 1500 a mth then increase rental by 30% If these fellows can afford to buy a house then they would have bought it liao rather then rent from the garmen. Who doesn't want a reputable place when you bring friends to your house.
I heard liao very angry... Now they even think of sucking on the poor.

This is one of the many reasons why they are hastily encouraging foriegners to come and eventually take up citizenship here... so that their votes will keep them in power!

Now Kalang Guni also need to have license ... sell $1 2nd hand things also need license.
Play music also need to pay license..
We are really a short leap away from the day we all need to pay when we use common corridor. -
Really very sad at our garmen, Don't they realise people is their only resource?
If they suck us dried, how are we going to live here. My friend CPF can't even reach 20% of a 3-rm flat down payment. Let alone his savings for the past 5 years. One F**cking 3 rm flat cost approx 120k - 160k. This is not easy money for most commoners who parents didn't left anything behind and their children need to start everything afresh.
Mah is certainly only interested to show he is capable of increasing the garmen coffers by sucking in anyway he is capable. What is the point of joining the civil service if he is interested in his own future and not caring a damm F*ck for the citizens.
Whatever policy they wish to implement no opposition at all. Unlike taiwan, any policy needs to be voted..
This place has no democracy. Like a kingdom with ruler. -

May I suggest that we all migrate....sure life is also hard overseas but we are having a better time cause will enjoy the intangibles like a bigger cleaner environment, less stress although you have to work just as hard if not harder here in Sillypore..
Come join us, many thousands like me have taken that step....remember Sillypore is small and still has limitations that will not go away though we are No.1 in many things...how long can it last...
Lastly, remember that your children will be competing with the new citizens, PRCs, Indians and I can bet you they are a whole lot smarter...so you all we are left are the middle to low income jobs in 15-20 years time -

For homeless, it's no job, no money, no choice
Living on the streets is their only option as they have nowhere else to go; welfare homes try to help but some fall through the cracks
By Nur Dianah Suhaimi & Melissa Sim
FOR driver Hashim Eusuff, home is a 14-foot lorry.
After he knocks off each night, the 41-year-old parks in a quiet Marine Parade carpark and sleeps in his seat. Once the owner of a four-room Sengkang flat, Mr Hashim was evicted last November after defaulting on his home loan repayments.
He was unable to pay because he was retrenched. His 33-year-old Indonesian wife sleeps at her stepfather's one-room flat with three other family members.
Mr Hashim's plight got an airing in Parliament last week, when Marine Parade GRC MP Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim brought up the issue of the homeless in Singapore and asked what the Housing Development Board (HDB) is doing to help.
This prompted Parliamentary Secretary Maliki Osman to remark that some people are 'homeless by choice' because there are other housing options open to them, including subsidised rental flats, open-market rental flats, or living with relatives.
This is evidently not the case for many.
Ang Mo Kio GRC MP Inderjit Singh said many residents are in negative equity and, as a result, the banks force a sale and the residents do not have excess cash to rent a flat.
Of the six MPs who spoke to The Sunday Times, five said they had handled cases involving people who were either already homeless, or on the verge of being so.
They said those who are homeless are generally hit by the same few problems: no job, no relatives and negative equity.
Banks say they try hard to help these customers by lengthening the loan period and deferring payments, and insist that eviction is only a last resort.
HDB also offers various financial assistance measures which include extension of the mortgage loan term, payment of a smaller mortgage instalment under the Reduced Repayment Scheme and deferment of mortgage payments.
For those who are eventually evicted, the other housing options suggested by Dr Maliki are sometimes not viable.
For example, Mr Hashim does not qualify for an HDB rental flat because his wife is a foreigner. He cannot rent anything on the open market because he does not have enough cash for the three-month downpayment.
Living with his siblings is also not an option because his relationship with them is not good.
Tampines GRC MP Ong Kian Min, who has seen six homeless cases, said: 'Surely people are not homeless by choice. People would rather have a roof over their heads.'
Even Dr Maliki's third option of living with family is not always possible, either.
Of the five family service centres that spoke to The Sunday Times, three said they had seen cases where the homeless keep away from relatives because of misunderstandings, psychological abuse or shame.
Jeny K, 45, will be evicted from her flat in just three days. At the moment she has no job and nowhere else to go.
She is single and unable to find another single to rent an HDB flat. Renting on the open market is too expensive for someone who has only $12 in her wallet. She is also adamant about not returning to her mother's home because she says her mother has caused misunderstandings between her and her siblings, who are unwilling to take her in.
This week, she might find herself in a welfare home, but even there a place is not assured.
Welfare homes accept only destitutes, who, as defined by the Destitute Persons Act, must be found begging or idle in a public place.
There are 10 welfare homes run by the voluntary sector that provide care for about 1,700 destitute people in Singapore.
Said Ms Frances Lee, a senior social worker at Care Corner Family Service Centre (Toa Payoh): 'There are some like Jeny who fall through the cracks and there is nowhere they can go. The last resort is to sleep in the void deck and get picked up as a destitute.'
Even for the most desperate cases, though, there is often hope. Mr Singh cited a case where one resident with two school-going children lost his job, stopped paying his mortgage payments and got evicted.
The mother and children are staying with a friend while the father is still sleeping in void decks and parks.
Although he has already received two HDB subsidies, a meeting was called between HDB, Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre and some grassroots leaders. The grassroots leaders will provide the deposit for a rental flat and HDB will expedite the process for an HDB rental flat application.
A HDB spokesman said it is prepared to help genuinely needy cases to rent or downgrade to a more affordable HDB flat.
However, such appeals need to be carefully scrutinised to ensure that our limited housing subsidies are fairly distributed to those that need them most.
Mr Singh said: 'All in all, not everyone ends up on the street. A handful do and in most cases that's because they come to us for help at the very last moment or after they have lost their flat.' -
'There is nowhere they can go. The last resort is to sleep in the void deck and get picked up as a destitute.'

For homeless, it's no job, no money, no choice
BEING homeless is not lorry driver Hashim Eusuff's only problem.
Since his retrenchment in 2003, his debts have been piling up and he does not know who to pay first.
In his duffel bag are letters and reminders of payment from the town council, Public Utilities Board, banks and credit card companies. There are even parking summonses.
What's worse, he said, is that he still has to pay for the coming monthsÂ’ conservancy and utility charges and property tax for the flat.
This is because despite eviction, he is still the flat's legal owner.
Said Mr Hashim, who now earns $1,100: 'I can barely survive on my current pay. How to pay for all these bills?'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His debts
Housing loan, including late charges and interest: $202,675.46 (Original loan: $200,000)
Credit card bills: $20,000 (estimate)
PUB: $370
Town council: $336.50
TV licence: $110
Property tax: $88.60
Parking summonses: $480
Total: $224,060.56 -
GST is on the rise...NOOOOOOO

I think if my friend is forced to but a 3 rm flat based on his meagre pay of 1.6k then he will have to slog his whole life trying to pay for this and that...
Moreover the important thing is he must not be out of job. I can't think of any possibel reason why Mah keeps squeezing ppl to buy high cost HDB flats. And now his target is on those low-income ppl. And set some F*cking policy that if you earn 2.5k above you must buy 4 rm or above. Damm... working and paying for 200+k for your whole life..
That's why, they get 1.++ mil plus bonuses every year.
Bully the low-income folks. -
everything expensive
-
nathan juz got a pay rise, soon those ministers will too.
meantime, gst rises, while some people receives tax breaks.
years down the road, election results will remain optimistic, due to recent influx of citizenships from foreign talents.
and ur fren will continue to slog for his 1 room flat rental with that 30% extra rental. -
$1600...hmm, I think your friend could qualify for certain workfare subsidies or bonuses from the CDC. Which area does he stay in? Check with Area CC, south east CDC or north east CDC.
EDIT: I realised that the pre requisite for most schemes states that you need to be married and have a family...
How about try applying for Public Assistance or Work assistance scheme? Seems to be the most appropriate... -

Wouln't be surprise since they are doing recycling programme. -
CDC assistance cannot . I think must be less than 1.5 or something. They tried to make it real difficult to apply for it.
Anyway, I have told him to work part time as a banquet waiter, means after work maybe rush to hotels to carry plates. Sad
