Singapore Table Tennis Saga continues...It is still all about money

The national coach of Singapore Table Tennis team, which brought home the first ever silver medal in recent Olympic game, rejected an insulting offer of SGD6,300 a month salary.

Singapore has spent millions of dollar on these Foreign talents to bring glory home, up our status as a 'sport mighty house'. I am not sure how many commoners are really proud of this. But a sure reality is that cost of living is raising, bus fare, electricity bills, housing rents and food costs are getting harder to pay.

Yet, our national hero is still not satisfying with the insulting salary.

Price hike is not arbitrary, people deserved to pay and pay

Read the news here.
So what the justification is estimation is way off? Government in end of Sept that the petrol price will hit USF150 in the coming 3 month. One month later, petrol price drops to 1-year low and below USD70.
So what? Yet our minister still proudly said that the price hike is not arbitrar. The minister even said that if not because of this price hike solution, people could even pay up more!! Simply impressive. You win liao lar and I am speechless.
Let's just listen to government and pay and pay, and then say "Thank you!"

Singapore's Projection of oil price:USD155 in 3 months, and charge you 21% more on Electricity bill!!

But the oil price has since dropped below USD90. I dunno which scholar came up such a brilliant projection and made all the commoners like suffering.
If such projection can be trusted, why not Temasek rushs to store the oil now and then sell off to make profit when it really reaches USD155??
