The world is facing high inflation. Singapore is also facing high inflation.

My elderly parents have nothing much to spend on.
Their appetite is not that good, they don't eat much.
Their main expenses are medical ie eye, prostate, blood pressure and teeth.
They have now switched to public healthcare which is highly subsidised. They retired a few years ago, so they didn't mind the long wait as time is not a problem. They usually bring newspapers to read while waiting for the long Q, especially at National Eye Centre.
