The statement that Singapore oil price is STILL cheapest in the world. Is very generalise. In a broad sense its on par with current oil trading prices. meaning we are getting a non subsidised price (cost+refining+tax).

If you try to compare against a oil producing country, you will be shock on how much they are charging. eg Kuwait US$0.21 per liter. Iran US$0.11 per liter Malaysia US$0.81 per liter as of june 08. so comparing SG and them..is it fair?

Against non oil producing countries. ireland US$2.13 per liter, italy US$2.31 per liter, netherlands US$2.67 per liter,portugal US$2.42,Sierra Leono US$4.87, Australia US$1.52,New zealand US$1.62 Singapore is US$1.82 per liter then. (june period)

Of cause if JUST talk about oil price ALONE we are not that expensive. But taking every BILL into account for life in SG like GST,ERP,Road tax, and whatever we need to pay for the month to be considered a decent living. And deduct it against our pay. then life is getting harder. that's my 2 cent worth.

ps. our gov is talking a item by item view. but we regular Sg'er got to compile all. Lets talk on same speadsheet for once!!

Today's Sunday Times, Singaporeans make noise about the ERP charges. The only winner in this is the greedy PAP. They earn like "siao" collecting ERP charges from the people.

It merely shows that the moderator is not interested in your antics.

Like what I said earlier

Seems more likely the moderators are not interested to entertain you

Who else other than a fool can be so stupid to go and start a thread on a topic he already finds stupid

And just because only you were banned, you called the moderators bias.
What logic is that?

So if you go NUS and only you failed the module, the professor is bias?
If you finally received your degree scroll and only you failed, NUS is bias?
Yeah, continue to put the blame on others. Afterall, you are just a troll.

Look at Singapore, new towns and estates ie Sengkang, Sembawang, Woodlands, Jurong etc mushrooming up everywhere. Even before the capacity for 1 area is max, a new area is set-up. Then the public transport provider will tell you there is no economic of scale to provide direct transport between areas. You will have to pay feeder services, then MRT, then feeder services.

Maybe you can enlighten me how the government put the infrastructure in place for the past 20 years? By never-ending construction of MRT rails that cause congestion, then implement ERP to curb this congestion?

I heard of a story b4 .. But i dunno how true is it .. Once there was this high-monk whom even LKY respect alot alot .. Before the death of this monk.. He told LKY not to build the NEL railway as that's the "Long mai" of Singapore, it will destroy this country in the long run..
