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."

my recommendation report

In response to the recent complain of servicemen regarding breaches in training guidelines, I, 3SG Ng recommends the following immediate action to be taken to conduct training less taxing for enlistees who are having initial difficulty to adjust to their new military life.


1) Let them go back bunk sleep b4 1st lesson ( but must wake up to do area cleaning, draw arms den go back sleep)


2)To instill sense of urgency in them, the rest of the platoon will now hold it in clutches position instead of push up position when their platoon mates fall in late. ( song bo, u all find push up position tiring rite, i give it to u guys. now clutches and lay flat on ground. comfortable rite. i dun wan see anyone legs not 90 degrees straight...if not...wahaha)

3)No more physical punishment. If they nv fall in properly, they will go take chairs from their bunk and fall them in nicely. =)

4)Like to call hotline rite. Fall in all the hp according to index no. or phone no. Smallest no on the rite..hehex

5) Go according to the book. If they can't fall in satisfactory, the whole platoon will do it again and again until they get it rite.
IE: platoon 7 rows in front of me! take ur time. 2 rows. 9 rows. 3 rows.

6) More arti drills! Nth wrong mah, I just following training directive =P
