[Sg] - PAP Grace Fu: "If you can pay S$20 for a pasta, why cannot pay S$5 for a wonton mee?"

Soon that Brady Fool will say "if you can pay few million dollars for a condo why cannot pay 1 million dollar for a HDB" after erection to her sarpokters ... :roflmao:
 
I thought this kind of no brain comparison is done by an ITE dropout

Use brain la. Pasta is at air-conditioned restaurant in a mall leh. Probably has better customer service too.

Grace Fu's father, James Fu was a former journalist who became press secretary to PM Lee Kuan Yew. Cronyism was probably at play.
 
Grace Fu's use of analogies to explain national issues has gained our attention for all the wrong reasons. While her intent is to provide clarity, the effectiveness of these analogies is debatable. Her approach often involves comparing disparate situations, neglecting relevant socioeconomic factors, and framing the man-in-the-street S'porean's concerns as a matter of perspective rather than systemic challenges. For instance, her comparison of wanton mee prices to pasta costs, without accounting for the distinct contexts of hawker centres vs restaurants, exemplifies this pattern. This analysis highlights the need for a more complex approach to public discourse, one that acknowledges the difficulties of economic realities and avoids simplistic equivalencies.

Grace Fu's approach to economic discussions involve comparing different items i.e. classifying eggs as meat. This ignores crucial context like dietary differences, nutritional values and cooking requirements, while framing dissent as a personal failing. This logic, which justifies classifying cartons as alternative accommodation, is applied in comparisons like car prices to MRT/bus fares, Starbucks coffee to housing affordability, mobile phone expenses to medical bills and fine dining to tuition fees. These comparisons imply that affordability is a matter of perspective instead of economic reality i.e. if S'poreans can afford luxuries, we should be able to afford necessities. This minimises economic hardship by reducing it to a matter of reframing our viewpoint.
 
Which hawker centre pasta at $20? Is it an outlier? Pasta at hawker centre at most $10.
Hope she is comparing apple to apple. If she can bring down pasta price in all hawker centres to $5, then I will give good job rating.

Dis-Grace Fu is saying the expectations of S'poreans are the problem; not the rising cost of living in SG which is created by the PAP's policies.

Grace Fu does not seem to know that S'poreans occasionally patronise restaurants expecting to pay premium prices for not just the food, but the ambience and service. Hawker centres, on the other hand, are positioned as affordable options for daily meals for the masses.

Paying her salary, it is really nothing wrong to have expectations. Instead of listening to our expectations, she said we are the problems? Oh dear us!
She totally didn't add any value to my life despite being paid many times higher than me with my taxes to the coffer. On top of it, all of us have to do the cleaners job.

Grace Fu is totally clueless and tone deaf in her response which shows that she is unqualified to be an MP. She compares 2 completely different things under different contexts, and ignores the social/cultural/economic factors that make the comparison laughable. She paints the people of SG as unreasonable and spoilt since we cannot accept that hawker food prices keep rising as both the quality and quantity continue to shrink.
