She cited the reasons why the study is flawed:
1 The USB study surveyed 73 countries with very different workforce and consumption habits and therefore had to make some simplifying assumptions which led to a significant underestimation of average Singapore wages, as well as purchasing power.
2 It used a basket of European goods - like steak, frozen pizza and evening theatre tickets - to calculate price levels. These items are expensive and not part of the average Singaporean's expenditure.
Statistics and aneddotal evidence here showed the opposite: a significant jump of about 20 per cent in wages over the period. According to government estimates, the median hourly wage is now about $14 an hour, said the shameless MP.

=> Indeed, Sporns would soon be eating bricks and tree barks if the Papaya TRAITORS are not overthrown in the next GE!

Ho-Lee-Mah:"Chicken expensive, eat fish lah.
Steak expensive, eat lobster lah.
Frozen pizza expensive, eat air-flown sushi lah."​

Fucking cunt, they are not part of the average Singaporean's expenditure because they don't receive a typical MP's allowances and are thus too poor to afford such luxuries.
The very reason why the items chosen have to be the same is to compare apples with apples, so that PAP can't twist and turn with cheap substitutes that are a pale imitation of the real deal.​

More like average worker earn $1500 but the average wage increased cos they factored in MPees and FamiLEE salaries.

Minus PR and FT wages and minus the slanted MINISTARS high salaries, AND including unemployed Singaporeans, the average mean income (take home pay) of born and bred Singaporeeans who are of working age (i.e. 16 years and above) is ONLY $1,580 per month.

That's right. The average mean income (take home pay) is only $1,580 per month

How can the UBS study be wrong when you have Singaporeans writing letters to the PROSTITUTE media regarding a $2 penalty per month is TOO MUCH.

It is telling UBS and the world, many Singaporeans do not even have $1500 in their bank accounts.

Sometimes even someone wearing religious garb can tell lies. Tsks tsk...shameful!

POSB's $2 penalty

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
'A $1,500 daily balance is not easy. $2 is the price of a meal. POSB should not forget its mission as a people's bank.'
MR TAY SENG HUAT: 'POSB's reputation remains as a people's bank, as it was when it opened. But last year, POSB introduced a charge of $2 if the average daily balance in one's bank account falls below $1,500. We have just clawed our way out of recession and every dollar counts for many Singaporeans. To keep a $1,500 daily balance is not an easy feat and $2 is the price of a meal for many. POSB should not focus its sights on its profit sheet alone and forget its original mission as a people's bank.'​

I agree with you on both counts.

The YOUNG CBK is working for his OWN POLITICAL gains and no one else.

He even dares to fuck others from behind (the scene) using his boss's cock as in the SAA saga. His boss have to come out and clean the shit because it was his (BOSS'S) cock STUCK IN THE ARSEHOLE

I worked in the local bank and handled a number of indian and china FT. To my surprise, these ppl who worked in IT/ engineer company earning at least $4000 per mth at least. Why are these FT making much more than singaporean? Instead they are pushing up the costs and having HDB flats very affordable to them!

Brother Chao, how have you been?

There are a few hundred thousand of these in SG. The PAPies need these people to fill in the properties built by the PAPies and their cronies.

All this talk about low income FTs is a problem but the larger problem is actually the well-paying jobs that FTs are GIVEN. It is the high paying FTs that push up housing prices and reduce the employment chances of educated sporns.

The higher paid FTs are many and most of their jobs can actually be done by sporns. I estimate that 60-80% of condos are where the higher paid FTs live.
And FTs oso stay in the better HDB flats.

The lowly paid FTs that the garment keeps hoodwinking us about mostly stay in dorms and don't affect our housing prices at all. The PAPies are trying to hoodwink us that sporns don't want the jobs of FTs because the PAPies are trying to 'hide' the highly paid FTs that shootup our housing prices and take away well-paid jobs that sporns want and need.

Each year there will be more FTs an housing prices will continue to hit the ceiling.

We, the 33% have to do our best to convince the 66% what to do in the next GE. Vote the PAPies out of power.

To put it simply, when an international survey praises Sinkieland, it's accurate.

When it shows sinkieland in bad light, it's not accurate, flawed, lacks credibility blah blah blah.

What else is new?
