Under what conditions? Business + normal household consumption a few months, or Business + rationing household consumption a few months, or Business + stay in the office if you need light a few months? Because when this guy talks, you **know** he is not thinking about the people.

Senzo5g 2026-03-12 08:39

so a few months is what ? 1-3 or 3-6 mths? What happens if the situation continues to escalate like a never-ending Ukraine situation? Then what Ah Seng?

SnowBroHatesKLKs 2026-03-12 08:40

Simi months? 2 months also considered months. Other countries have years.

Senzo5g 2026-03-12 08:40

Rationing petrol and energy usage? that'll be interesting to see SG everyday like Earth Day.

For_Entertain_Only 2026-03-12 08:41

mean less than a year, don't look good at all

kongweeneverdie 2026-03-12 08:44

US and Russia are forever.

For_Entertain_Only 2026-03-12 08:47

So going to buy Russia oil? Or cannot as follow sanction, and china and India continue buy

SnowBroHatesKLKs 2026-03-12 08:50

Then he will scold u back in cantonese saying you know nothing jon snow.

SnowBroHatesKLKs 2026-03-12 08:52

Gey kiang want to act all moralistic against russia just to please their imperialist master who has now left us in the dirt.

For_Entertain_Only 2026-03-12 08:54

Yup, in harsh real world sometimes you can't act morally for survive or benefit. Take an example of WW2 lky is a Japanese translator

Late_Culture_8472 2026-03-12 08:56

1.1 months

SnowBroHatesKLKs 2026-03-12 09:00

1.01

jypt98 2026-03-12 09:05

Interesting until you need to take the MRT at peak hour, with reduced air-conditioning.

For_Entertain_Only 2026-03-12 09:05

Think mostly they ask to use electricity more, use coal, nature gas, lng method

kongweeneverdie 2026-03-12 09:06

Singapore still buying russia oil.

SimpleGuy4Life 2026-03-12 09:06

Of course he has to be careful with his words so as to not cause panic in public....

For_Entertain_Only 2026-03-12 09:13

Then buy more lor

AltruisticDBS 2026-03-12 09:15

petition to increase Tan See Leng salary by 1x and 60mths bonus.

CherishLogic 2026-03-12 09:46

Ouch....the truth hurts.

minatozuki 2026-03-12 10:20

Haha sure. Then why the hike

HeftyHawk5967 2026-03-12 10:22

you see how Tan See Leng not even dares to touch on potential cost of living spike issue

HeftyHawk5967 2026-03-12 10:23

he forgot that its not merely a issue of energy supply, our food imports from overseas will also spike in prices

HeftyHawk5967 2026-03-12 10:51

What was surprising is the manner which his statement is delivered, via a podcast interview. PAP Govt thinks a current oil crisis is a joke. I remember during the start of the Russia-Ukraine war at least there was a taskforce formed with a press conference to assure the public and shows the seriousness of the matter.

etyn001 2026-03-12 11:10

And never say how many exact months

Important-Homework79 2026-03-12 12:32

then why tarrifs cannot handle it? incompetent or can't be bothered. I see, when elections come its a just nice excuse. if elections is today maybe, a taskforce is needed again to strike fear. Just my thoughts.

LasRedStar 2026-03-12 12:43

Hot take: the iran war must quickly end so we can get the oil or find another route that doesnt go thru hormuz. So the air force should work with the US in bombing iran and accelerate the regime's collapse, basically join the war on a limited scale

NoobSkierSG 2026-03-12 14:00

Fortunately I recontracted last year. Energy prices to shootup next SP tariff cycle!

Illustrious-Ocelot80 2026-03-12 17:08

You volunteer firs okay?

Zukiff 2026-03-13 00:47

Because everyone knows the war won't last long, US does not have the capacity to fight a prolong missile war without committing troops on the ground(their own analysis suggest their current stock pile in a war against China will deplete their entire stockpile in a matter of weeks). And US will not commit ground troops because Iran is not only bugger than Afghanistan they also have more mountains limiting their tech advantage.. Iran have similar issues, their economic situation will not allow them to prolong this war beyond a few months at best. This vanture is just Trump stupidly thinking he can install a US friendly govt once he take out the current one or at the very least have local opposition raise up in rebellion. Since that isn't working and US is taking increasing damage, it's very likely he will find an excuse in the next few weeks to end it. He also desparately wants to end this before the trip to China so he doesn't look, that bad. The biggest problem now is how to find that excuse.

Zukiff 2026-03-13 00:48

Do you even realize during the first phase of the tariff war we were literally in the lowest tariff bracket?

Important-Homework79 2026-03-13 02:21

sorry. does it matter if its lower bracket or higher bracket with a taskforce

Zukiff 2026-03-13 02:51

You mention it like the govt did a bad job at handling the tariff issue when we were in the group with the lowest tariffs.

HeftyHawk5967 2026-03-13 05:29

You can tell that Trump is being drag by Israel to prolong the war
