High cost of living? Buy cheaper products, says minister

The "solution" given by the Minister really shocked me.In saying "switch to cheaper products", indirectly he is telling you,

1) Buy all those things that are made in China, yet high in lead and report to the grave earlier.

2) If bus is considered expensive, cycle to work; but if you get knocked down by cars, too bad. Safest approach - walk to work. Exercise and cheap - killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

3) Eat only 1 meal per day and no meat please, since it's consider expensive products. Eat "dau-geh" with rice daily. Cai-xin or cabbage is expensive.

4) If you ever encountered sharp pain due to cancer, take panadol to ease the pain, since anti-cancer medicine are considered a more expensive products.

5) 3-room flat, which is considered to be the cheapest housing for purchase, is expensive due to the soaring property price. Go for rental flat, but make sure you are qualified to rent one. If you are neither here or there, stay in the void deck, but don't get caught.

I am very disappointed that this type of answer comes out from a highly paid Minister. Like what the army always said, "Even my grandmother can give this type of answer."
