CAR-MAGEDDON STRIKES SINGAPORE! MIDDLE CLASS FLEE EN MASSE
Singapore has descended into chaos as the middle class population abandons the country in droves, fleeing from the oppressive regime of sky-high COE premiums.
At border checkpoints, the exodus of middle class Singaporeans clutching their meager belongings resembles scenes from a disaster movie. "We have no choice but to leave," lamented Tan Ah Kow, former owner of a 10 year old Toyota. "How to afford bread and water for my family when COE cost more than my CPF?"
Authorities look on bemused as the country hollows out. "What abandon ship? Everything is fine, citizens are overreacting," chuckled a government minister over a glass of champagne while lounging in his Sentosa Cove sea-view condo.
The only citizens remaining in Singapore are the ultra-wealthy elite zipping around in their Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces. To them, $200k COEs are just spare change found between the sofa cushions. "Of course I renewed my COE for another 10 years, it's such a steal!" gushed socialite Tang Siok Hoon.
Yes, the middle class has vanished as swiftly as water gushing down a sinkhole. "This has created a city of only masters and serfs!" lamented a labour activist, before being arrested under the Public Order Act.
As tumbleweed drifts across the empty heartlands, it seems the even the ghosts of departed middle class Singaporeans have joined the exodus. Only time will tell if equilibrium returns to this once vibrant metropolis.
