Wow. $300. If my company didn't pay for it I'd have a big problem with the bill. Thankfully they pay for it.Open Kitchen Concepthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863149035170245497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-88125584590148014862013-06-30T21:34:26.017+08:002013-06-30T21:34:26.017+08:00I've always believed in TCM, but the physician...I've always believed in TCM, but the physician must be good and not some quack!

It's just a typical sickness of cough, flu and fever. For the same sickness, the charge have gone up significantly since the last visit about 1+ yr ago in the same private GP clinic near my place. <br /><br />When you analyze the cost of living in Singapore including housing, food, education, transportation and more, all hell broke loose. To my dismay, the escalation of healthcare costs in Singapore over the years should not be a surprise. <br /><br />Singapore has become a very costly place to live especially for an average income and retires...hmm no wonder many Singaporean rushed for Iskandar property nowadays! <br /><br />All these years, Gov clamps down the income/corporate tax in order to attract companies to Singapore and also encourages entrepreneurship. While I appreciate this rationale, I can't reconcile the phenomenon of high industry/commercial rental costs in Singapore which have been inching up quite substantially and drive some of the companies out of Singapore with no obvious action taken from Gov to mitigate this. So far, all the cooling measures are meant to curb the speculation of residential property. As we all know that GLC is the biggest landlords in Singapore for industry/commercial properties, shouldn't gov step in to curb these sectors so that the business can remain competitive? <br /><br />Hmm...I can't help to think that Singapore may be at risk of becoming a victim of its own success, as cost of living soars.........Melodieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708106000517148623noreply@blogger.com
