Can make own sandwich or cup noodles and bring to work. Save time no need to look for food during lunch some more.

That is what the young person did, bring make sandwiches from home, cup noodle.... or eat free from the pantry, I used to do that too ( think, many of us does that too). The point is, the cost of eating is eating into people's wallet, & when they Upgrade, Upgrade & Upgrade the food centres, the cost of food get UPGRADED too but they tell you it is still affordable. They will say, there are food that sells at $1.99 or even $2.00, good luck to you...why don't these people do the "walk" go try the $1.99 food? For example, $1.99 chicken rice with soup, you get a few thin silvers of chicken, smallest bowl of rice, throw a very think sliced cucumbers & sad looking coriander or spring onion, the soup taste like, it was Ajinomoto added to boiled water throw in the soy sauce.

It is very expensive having meals nowadays on a salary person wages....unlike those who can employ renown cook, to cook your meals all the way from Japan....hmmm!

Yes, I want to say the same thing too.
When it is a Chinese culture event in a multi-racial place, only the other minorities hv the
right to get involved..eg, Malays, Indians, Eurasians.
The rest , pls stay out.
What does this nation want to prove to the Universe?

Yes, Fixed Deposit rates was 5-6% & POSB was offering 9.5%....savings rates was very high too, they have Finance Houses that offered high rates too. But the average person could barely afford $500 to place 1 year on FD....only those who are well to do, could place on 3 moths roll over & the richer ones, 1 month rollover...Forex Deposits was just coming in, people place I think at that time minimum S$25,000 with the banks ( offshore banks, amount is higher, around S$100,000 I think) in currencies like AUD, NZD or USD, especially AUD, that was offering very high interest rates.

it because of money they bastardise the chingay until it is crap and nothing cultural or original about it. they wanna copy mardi gras but even my brazilian friend says it s a joke and nothing original. even the mainland china people laughing at the westernised parade.
Go to JB on wed Mar 11 for the original 2 hour long Chingay procession. only original one left in the world I think, veryunique and interesting procession
