Equally bad is the cost of ESSENTIAL food stuff. I just visited
Sheng Siong and found that :
A can of Maling luncheon meat (my favourate for sandwich fillings)
now cost $2.50 (old price...$1.20)
A killo of local fish (Seklar) now cost $5.50 (old price - $2.50)
One pineapple (Malaysian) now cost $2.90 (old price - $1.50)
A killo of small size prawn now cost $12.00 (old price -$6.50)
A loaf of house brand bread $1.30 (old price $1.00)
Most prices of food stuff have increase from 30% to over 100%.
How much have the wages of the poor workers has increased....3% ?

Are we seeing early symptoms of stagflation in Singapore? Are the
economy really growing or just speculative? :-(
