  1. Singapore Petrol 95 soar to $2.80/litre, Malaysia at $0.60 per litre and Octane 97 at just $0.90. Example COE, sky high hardly affordable 99 years leasehold apartment while most Malaysian are staying in landed properties and No COE and No GST regardless of their weaker currency. Their Petrol are cheaper, they buy $4 chicken and you buy $12 same chicken. Malaysia no GST and major surgery at ZERO $ compare to Mandatory Medishield and still must pay. Hospital 1 night easily $1500 per day and claimed ZERO dollar [see fine print on deductibles]. Time for Change in 2025.

  2. 新加坡汽油 95 飙升至每升 2.80 新元，马来西亚汽油为每升 0.60 新元，而辛烷 97 则仅为每升 0.90 新元。 例如COE，天价难以负担的99年租赁公寓，而大多数马来西亚人都住在有地房产，并且没有COE和GST，无论其货币疲软如何。 他们的汽油更便宜，他们买 4 新元的鸡肉，你买 12 新元同样的鸡肉。 马来西亚没有消费税，大手术费用为零，与强制性医疗保险相比，但仍然必须支付。 住院 1 晚轻松每天 1500 新元，并要求零新元[请参阅免赔额细则]。 2025 年是变革的时候了。

  3. [Update] According to a small store Lady Boss today [21/8], she said the Super Value 600g bread had increase to $2.30 since 1 Aug 2023, up from $1.10. That is 100.9% of increase which is almost X2 double the price. [更新]。 据小店女老板今天透露，她表示，自 2023 年 8 月 1 日起，Super 600 loft 面包已涨价至 S$2.30。即从 S$1.1 涨至 S$2.30，涨了 S$1.20 或涨了 100.9% 或更多。 比价格高一倍。 These days $50 almost cannot buy anything. No Thanks to the MIW, the Sunshine Bread has increased from normally $3.30 to I noticed at $3.90, a whopping $0.60 cents increase or 18.18% increase which can be attributed to the multiplying effects of the recent GST hike of 1%. [Add: One commenter highlighted to me that the Super Value 600g bread has increased from $1.10 to $1.70. That is 54.5% increase which is almost double the price] So the Pertinent Question is; When the MIW said GST Hike will not hurt the poor, were they basing on the 1% hike OR the Overall multiplying effect on the Price? These days, its getting harder to trust anything they say.
