I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Steeper rise in CPI for August

SINGAPORE: Singapore's consumer price index (CPI), a measure of inflation, rose a steeper 5.7 per cent in August from a year ago.


The CPI had risen 5.4 per cent in July.

The Department of Statistics (DOS) said this was a result of higher costs of accommodation, private road transport and food.

The higher accommodation cost reflected mainly higher imputed rentals of owner-occupied accommodation which has no impact on the cash expenditure of owner-occupied households.

The higher cost of private road transport was mainly due to the significant increase in Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums.

Excluding accommodation costs, the consumer price index was 4.4 per cent higher compared to the same period last year.

Compared to July, the CPI for August rose 0.7 per cent, reflecting mainly higher costs of private road transport, accommodation, clothing & footwear as well as "recreation & others".

On a month-on-month basis, the MAS core inflation measure (which excludes the costs of accommodation and private road transport) was 0.4 per cent in August.

On a year-on-year basis, the MAS core inflation measure was 2.2 per cent.
