Singaporeans Fume Over Rising Costs of Basic Necessities, Forget Who They Voted For
SINGAPORE - In a strange turn of events, Singaporeans across the island have been spotted furiously complaining about increases in the costs of public transportation, postal services, water, and electricity. This widespread grumbling comes merely a month after 70% of voters happily elected as President a member of the ruling party who implemented all these policies.
When interviewed, many citizens unleashed tirades against the rising expenses, seemingly having forgotten who they had empowered to make these decisions.
"Everything also increase until like that, how are we supposed to tahan?" fumed Mr Tan Ah Seng, 58, who gleefully voted for Ong Lai last month along with his fellow citizens.
"Wah lau eh, the gahmen squeezing us dry," grumbled Mdm Linda Choo, 42, blissfully marking her ballot for the status quo just a month prior.
Experts point out that it is mathematically and politically impossible for costs to rise this way without public support. "It's simple - if the majority didn't want this, they wouldn't have voted for it," said political analyst Dr. Shanmugam Subramaniam.
Yet the disgruntled voters seem unable to connect the dots. When asked whether they regretted supporting policies that led to the current situation, most stared blankly as if the thought had never occurred to them. A few laughed sheepishly and changed the subject.
"Aiya, like that how? Everything also go up, where got logic?" said Mr Ali Rahim, 60, who had enthusiastically campaigned for the incumbents on walkabouts last general election.
"Wait, you mean we caused this? No lah, cannot be," insisted Mdm Choo when confronted with the reality. "How would I know they would do this? I thought they were on my side!"
At press time, the confused citizens were scrambling to assign blame to anyone except themselves, with leading theories including Russian hackers, the lizard people, and fungus-induced mass hysteria.
