Cost of living going up, yet we still want to increase GST

BEWARE THE INTEREST RATES​

At a core inflation rate of 1.6 per cent, most people would not feel a marked change in the prices of their food and transport.

Those who would feel the pressure of inflation more are those who want to rent or buy a house or travel overseas.

When inflation rates are up, the banks’ interest rates are likely to rise too, which will impact people who take out a bank loan to buy property, a car or start a business.

Many towkays are not ethical like @JohnTan
They take government bridging loans and grants and use the money to whack shares and properties. When they get burnt, they don't pay employees. They rather owe employees than banks because banks impose penalties on overdues.

Employees with unpaid salaries (within 7 days after due, or 14 days for OT), can file this

How else should we make money grow? Where do you think towkays get the money to buy coffeeshops, given their humble background as kopi boy or hawker?

[TheGreatWhite]

Hope bank fixed deposit rate will exceed 4%.
Then CPF interest rate will go up as well. Good time to be cash rich.

When local fixed deposit rate exceeds 4%, I think I will want to buy precious metals and retire. hahaha
I may be wrong.

Also, it is inevitable that successful SME towkays like you, have to go KTV to entertain. Now KTV also very expensive, PRC hostess 9pm - 2am is $600 for you exclusively, butterfly 3 x 15min for your junior managers also need $150-$200, drinks and mummy excluded.

Business costs really went up these days. Please take care.

2.00%pa for 1-12mths tenor is better than most banks.
