Is the old Singapore better than the new Singapore.

I remember LKY instigating racial lines by putting race into the constitution and precipitating the riots.

The CIMO classification is a continuation of that policy to divide and rule. LKY and his successors swear by Sun Tze's "Art of War".

If our population goes back to 3.5 million, the price of housing, cars, food and just about anything else will be lowered. S'pore would cease to be the most expensive city in the world. There would be more open spaces, our children who plan to marry won't have to wait years for their HDB flats and will be in a better position to own their own homes (upgrade to private property) and buy a car. Their career prospects would be far brighter than the bleak future of the current young graduates.

Yes, we had LKY, Goh Keng Swee, Hon Swee San, Toh Chin Chye, Barker...., all truthfully worked for Singaporeans, the cost of living then was manageable even our earning was not high. Most importantly, we did not have CECA Indians to steal our rice bowls.
The ministers then were not highly paid, unlike the present ministers.
We didn't mind being the 3rd world country, but we were very happy with small population.

LKY and his son LHL have long treated S'pore as their personal property, even though S'pore is merely a small nation. Most of the positions of power not held by LHL are held by his relatives, starting with his wife Ho Ching, whose remuneration has remained undisclosed. It is common knowledge that it runs undoubtedly into hundreds of million of dollars from taxpayers.

The sudden surge in S'pore's population offers only a short-term boost to the economy through increased demand. The PAP did not expect citizens to be up in arms over the significant downsides. In land-scarce SG, a sudden increase in demand without a corresponding increase in supply of goods and services would lead to rapid inflation. We have witnessed this in terms of housing, cars and just about everything else. The lower and middle-income households were disproportionately affected, making the cost of living unaffordable for the masses.

the old days are much better.

Dr Chee Soon Juan spoke at length during his latest SDP rally against PAP’s immigration policies, which he rightly pointed out, have resulted in issues such as overcrowding and increased cost of living here.

As much as I am align in view of yours. PAP will never allow that. The lure of money make the property market too big to fail. The lords of barons will riot.

What happened to the Old Singagore

“Rents everywhere are too crazy” – Flor Patisserie shutting Siglap outlet after 57% rent hike​

If you love Japanese-style pastries and cakes, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with Flor Patisserie. Originally set up in 2010 by Chef Masataka Yamashita, the brand is now run by Heidi Tan, who trained under him and has experience from Le Cordon Bleu. In a recent Facebook post, Flor Patisserie announced the closure of their outlet at 42 Siglap Drive due to a large rent hike from their landlord.

“Never thought our out-of-the-way, 21 mins by bus, 15 min by walk from the nearest MRT station, no-parking-nearby outlet could be worth $8,500 in monthly rent,” read Flor Patisserie’s post. “That was exactly how much we were paying at our now-closed East Coast outlet, that had a much better frontage, with parking and accessibility.”

The post continues, “Honestly, is it really market rate or just property agents playing games? Our market got so good meh?”

Currently, rental at the Siglap Drive outlet is S$5,400. Upon renewal of the lease, the landlord raised it to S$8,500. Flor Patisserie also states that since setting up shop in 2013, their rent was S$4,000, and between 2013 to 2022, it was only increased by S$500 to S$4,500. When the space was acquired by a new landlord, he raised it to S$5,400.

Commenters on Flor Patisserie’s social media expressed sadness, with some offering suggestions about potential places that the patisserie could consider looking into.

The Siglap Drive outlet’s last days of operation are expected to be at the end of June or early July. “Are we closing for good? We are not sure yet. Rents everywhere are too crazy,” wrote Flor Patisserie. “We definitely do not want to fund another investment property buyer’s outrageous mortgage loan.” The patisserie will also be using their last 2 months of operation to bring back old favourites, such as Earl Grey Choco, Paris Vert, and Mango Pie.

Head down soon if you want a final taste before they close!
