on a dry newsday

Amidst the doldrums of the global financial crisis and catastrophic political situations in Thailand and Malaysia, and babies in China dying of contaminated milk, somewhere on a sunny little island just 1 deg north of the equator, 4 million something residents suddenly realise that their wages are eroded from inflation! OH you don't say!
























What fucking crapshit does our local news report? And it's sooooooooooo groundbreaking and absolutely true cos it comes from MOM. WTF? The state of our nation is going down the drain.

I actually found it really hilarious that that should even appear on the FRONT page news. Do these people think we're idiots? Previously, $5 can get me a pack of chicken rice, a drink and still have some change left. Now $5 gets me a pack of chicken rice, no drink, and if you eat at some "better" foodcourt, you might even have to pay more to get a meal. Any man on the street could have verified that. We didn't need some cockshit statement from MOM to tell us that. We're suffering the repercussions of a 4-going-onto-5-going-onto-7% inflation rate.
