Why?

Many forumites have already given you the reasons in the previous pages. Perhaps if you are really serious and sincere about understanding the reasons to vote for opposition, then may I suggest that you open your mind and read again.
Which category of Singaporeans do you belong to by the way?
Low income, middle income or high income.
This is so that we understand your predicament better. -

Stupid question!

Products when first introduced into the market are priced extremely high, through the passage of time the prices of these products become cheaper, one reason could be due to more manufacturers producing the product. -

I have already told you, in the literal sense of the word. Yet, you take it as really every damn thing under the sun. Stupid or what? At least do yourself the respectability of comprehending some basic English.
Some things have become cheaper for sure but over cost of living has been going up relentlessly. And you say you have done your research??

So our public transport cost goes up year after year is normal what.Originally posted by Rock^Star:What are you even talking? Cheaper year after year? That is impossible.
Don't you expect your pay to go up year after year if you do a good job?
Comparing our public transport 20 years ago and now, the increase is reasonable.
