Anecdotally, I'm always astounded by the speed at which prices increase when I'm back in SG for visit. Before I left, a plate of chicken rice is $2.5 and kopi is $0.8. Last year, at least $3 and shrink in size and kopi is at least $1, also shrink in size.
At least half of them are lying.
you should take a look at the statistics published by MOM to get a more realistic perception of the income level.
