Very nice numbers and assets being mentioned here.

But with a plate of chicken rice coming to $5 nowadays, I still recall not long ago it was like $1.20 per plate.

The gahmen is acutely aware of this income divide but is it doing enough to narrow the gap?

You only have to see how with high COE prices and yet people are buying cars, only this time they are buying mainly luxury ones. Also after so many rounds of cooling measures, property sales do not seem to abate. There are (many) rich people around. You are obviously on the wrong side of the income divide.

Question is how to get onto the right side of the divide?
