This year CNY coincides with V’day…for the case of the young people, guess which comes first?!
And imagine what the price will be…Let’s see…during CNY, prices =mark up… during V’day, prices can double…so this year CNY will be very dear
do not worry those rich, like minister can surely still afford.
we small people no choice.
I was waiting for this, in hokkien.
No fish, prawn also good!
Cant afford then blame who? Dont blame our grandparents that never give us a good life.
Turn Singapore back to fish village so fish will be cheaper.
Why is TOC posting this kind of trivial news?

The price of chicken may be rising fast, but we can encourage Singaporeans to turn to alternative sources of protein, such as fish.

ah.. the excesses, wastages and indulgence of capitalism.
CNY – another good excuse for increasing the price permanently. The best is just to eat grass. It’s free – at least for now.
If the people can’t afford fish, let them eat lobster.
