Price increased before Jul GST Hike

Have you all seen the report on TODAY papers last week about the increase of price of groceries? They even did a comparison on the major supermarkets and it shown that Sheng Siong prices are the highest amongst the rest. Actually ever before this report came out, my colleague has already complained to me about the prices in SS. At least a difference of about a dollar plus which is a quite a big deal as that’s only the price for 1 item only. Wait till you get your receipt at the cashier, every item on the receipt have at least increased from $0.50 - $1.50. Unless you do your own grocery shopping if not you would not know what I am talking about.

Whoa, even before the GST hike, we are already feeling the heat, what more to expect in July when another 2% to come? Sigh, I am beginning to hate staying in my own country. $$$$ how much more can we earn to have some extra at the end of the day? So PM don’t blame the leavers for leaving because you are pushing us off the cliff. We are not losers and we do not want to lose our health or mental in order to survive here. I shall consider residing in other country maybe like Perth (but overcrowded with Asians) or Canada, where we get paid when we grow old. For now, it’s back to throwing some $$ back so that our ministers can get a pay rise. When am I going to get a pay rise like them???
