It is ridiculous and stupid to consider things like that. You might as well ask why you have a population of 1.4 billion and Singapore is only 6 million. Or, China land mass of 9.6 MILLION SQ KM vs Singapore 760 sq km. We didnt even hit 1000 sq km. It is due to Singapore being that small and having to accommodate so many people and also we have no natural resources. That being said we have to IMPORT almost everything which is why things are more expensive, Stupid! [TIRED][COOL]

And on top of that, we have to add in that 9% GST which has fully kicked in in 2024. Before the COVID pandemic, no foreigners who came to Singapore complained about expensive things.
