Have you ever been asked inappropriate questions by acquaintances whom you hardly talk to or even strangers?
I have been asked by a stranger, probably a financial advisor or an insurance agent:
"How much CPF do you have?"
I asked her the same question.

Or have you been asked by an acquaintance:
"How much do you earn?" Or "How much did you buy your apartment?"
I suggest you can reply as follows:
"Who are you"?
When he says "I'm xxx abc."
Reply "No, I mean who are you to me?"

Bro, you are in the wrong circle. I am suprised that such questions are even raised.
 
Asking people how much they earn / have is damn rude.
Asking how much something cost is somewhat acceptable in SG.
In angmo countries, they hate this type of question so you must rephrase it more tactfully.

Perhaps I am more ang moh than local. :)

Question by the stranger is inappropriate but not surprising.
Question by the acquaintance is rude and surprising, that's why such individuals need to be cut off from our lives totally.

This hangup on income is one local trait, especially with social barometer on earnings (aka success in life).

Hazard to guess this is less so in some western and more developed countries, with salaries more lumped in social band. Example, a plumber's wages is not far off from an executive (mayve more lucrative with undeclared tax stashed:p).
 
I was at a chalet at Ubin 15 years back together with a bunch of polymates.

It was Mid 7th Lunar Month then.

A friend strayed away from our group, and was found comatose inside the cupboard of our chalet when we tried to find him...

When he came to, he told us he was getting a drink at the kitchen when he heard a uncle voice asking him: ' Have you eaten' in Hokkien. He also blur blur go reply: 'Eaten liao'. Then the ghostly voice asked him: 'Want to chat?'
That was then when he lost consciousness and ended up into the cupboard...

Talk about inappropriate questions!

Yeee!!!

One of my friends go act garang go shout 'We are here for fun, not for you to have fun!'

I guess that made the uncle ghost who is actually harmless, just lonely for companionship to be angry and crack a glass in the kitchen..

I tell you we were frightened stiff and all squeezed into one tiny room until morning...

Some adventure sia!

:D
 
A good reply for inappropriate questions, and yet doesn't sound too offending:

"Why do you want to know?"

"

i donno, i mean depends on how are they going to use the information.

if they are conducting a survey to gather statistics to oppose the minimum sum for CPF withdrawal, i would gladly assist.

but if they want to use it to sell something to me, i don't think i will be interested to help...
 
Like some brother here who aptly posed this question to LKY

'Have you eaten? What book are you reading recently?'

Now that set me laughing for a while!

:D

Most inappropriate questions to me,

"Are you standing with Mr. Tan Kian Lian in the coming elections?"
"Where are you going to stand in the coming elections?"

LOL!

It a common lunch time topic to discuse car & property prices. However its not so cool to ask about salary because that would generate envy or embarrassment :)

It's not a good reply.
The financial advisor will claim that he or she has some wonderful way for you to have a fast and comfortable retirement. Of course, it's bullshit in reality since there;s no such thing.
The acquaintance will merely claim that he's curious. This will simply prolong a ridiculous conversation with a useless person.

Car and property prices ok. But perhaps not the value of the transaction that you just completed?

Not inappropriate at all.
You are a public figure and a potential MP and should expect such questions from the electorate. :)
