Singapore's People Power

Today is a public holiday. If you have some time, do something for the country. Do yourself, your friends and the country a favour. Send them this email (do it again as a reminder even if you have sent it to them before).
Look what I found in the internet and I am forwarding it to you and forward it to as many people you know as possible:
Quote:
Singaporeans are now attempting to lower the cost of living here by stopping all spending and cutting down on spending on essentials.
It will benefit the country and Singaporeans at the expense of foreigners.
Do not spend even if you can, hoard your money in this time of uncertainty and do yourself a favour as well. Do this until the cost of living falls significantly. You will benefit from the lower prices if you delay your spending, you will be able to buy more for less later.
Regards
Andrew Yap"

Hi
Join everyone and stop spending, hoard your money, cut down on essentials and help lower the cost of living. Buy later, pay less. (There are rumours that the government will be giving away vouchers to spend soon, so stop spending for now.)
Regards.

The greedy despots had done the damage. Now we need drastic actions to rectify the problems. You cannot hope for greedy dishonorable despots to do the right thing. They will only be thinking about their families, their relatives, their cronies, their party and Singapore will be second last and you will be considered last.

This is your best chance to do something for your country that has been damaged by the dishonorable public money grabbing despots

Just a quick question great economic guru for Singapore,
If we all hoard our money, and money stops circulating, wouldn't the government have to print more money? If thats so, wouldn't our hoarded value drop ANYWAY?

Hoard your money means hoard currencies under your pillow issit?
Say, if you have one dollar and it buys you 1 cup of coffee. If prices drop, then you can buy two. So if you spend it now, you get 1 cup of coffee, if you hoard it and spend later, you get two. So hoard or don't hoard?

I don't get you, say the government prints more money, the value of your money drops, how are you able to buy 2 cups of coffee?

So the solution is, hoard your money, and convert it to safer currencies out of Singapore.

The dishonorable greedy for public money despots has already damaged the economy.
There are a lot of things that they can do to rectify the situation but they will not because they are, "dishonorable greedy for public money despots".
If they are not "dishonorable greedy for public money despots" we would not be in this situation.
Since they are "dishonorable greedy for public money despots" you can expect more of the same self-serving, take more public money for themselves, take as much money from the public as possible; do propaganda "GST increase is to help the poor; policies.
Since you cannot depend on the "dishonorable greedy for public money despots", and you know that they will only come up with more "dishonorable greedy for public money" policies, you have to take care of yourself.
So it is, the "dishonorable greedy for public money despots" has damaged the economy and it is every man for himself.
