Hi sir

Can you hear me?

Testing

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3

Welcome to KNS. I'm your new host, Rosa Magaling

Magaling means "very good"

Rosa "very good"

That's me

Today in the news

we'll address the rising cost

According to the economist intelligence unit,

Singapore is now the world's most expensive city in the second year running

The ranking is meant as a guide for human resource managers

to calculate compensation packages for business travellers

and expatriates, like me, Rosa Magaling, that's me.

Getting to the bottom of this issue

we go live to... uh...

Is this his real name?

Dick, former news anchor

reduced to a roving reporter

thanks to a child

who also happens to be the CEO of the Kampong News Station.

You're a child

who also happens to be mine!

Today we're talking about money

We don't have any

I spent it all on you

and you spent it on your stupid hair gel!

Reporting live from home, this -

Is a cardboard box.

Reporting live from my home

this is...

Dick Loong

The house is on the streets!

Right, so we're here for public opinion

How do you feel about Singapore being the world's most expensive city?

And also, do you feel the pinch?

Um, I think it's true

that Singapore is the most expensive city

and definitely, I feel the pinch

because I own a car

and I have my own place with my husband.

Ahh.

What things are affordable here

as compared to other "developed" countries?

I think the food, transport is quite acceptable here.

Takeaway food, the hawker stalls?

Below hundred bucks?

Um... definitely cars are really expensive

because of the COE

and we can only drive it for ten years.

I see

Well, I ride a skateboard

It's pretty cheap

If cost of living were to rise any further

would you make any changes?

I would jump another job

with a better salary

You can save more, or -

You'll have to walk more

Walk more, okay.

Move out of Singapore

Where?

Right, um..

This is a tie...

No idea yet.

Ah. Public opinion, precious gold!

We're back with our guest in the studio

He is a coconut oil tycoon, and... a prince!

Thank you for joining us, Mr...

Luke Hja ("look here")

Excuse me?

Luke Hja ("look here")

I am.

Are you sure?

Now, I understand that the recent report of Singapore

being one of the most expensive city

has an adverse effect on you?

Look here

Times are difficult

The oil prices have been slipping

My company posted a loss of 0.2% this quarter alone

With the cost of living going up

I don't know what this means

You see,

I have to sell one of my wives

just to acquire this sapphire watch

Now, that definitely doesn't make sense!

Uh, okay, so Mr Luke Hja

as the owner of a multi-billion dollar enterprise

feeling the pinch of the rising cost

do you ever get lonely?

And now, Dick Loong with the weather.

The weather is fine, but the budget isn't.

I'm Rosa, you've been watching KNS.

Stay awesome Kamponger!

Are we even paying him?

Does this guy have email?

I might need his help transferring some funds.
