Singapore’s domestic wholesale sales have taken a tumble in Q4 2025, primarily due to a shocking dip in household equipment and construction materials. Meanwhile, foreign demand for electronics continues to surge, prompting experts to suggest Singaporeans are too preoccupied with supplying the world with high-tech gizmos to bother with their own crumbling abodes.

"We're basically the world's tech factory, but try finding a decent broom locally," remarked one anonymous government official, subtly gesturing towards a crack in his office wall in Singapore. "The sheer volume of microchips leaving our shores means our citizens are likely living in minimalist, perhaps even *pre-furnitured*, conditions."

Local resident, Mr. Limpeh, chimed in, "Wah lau eh, last time I wanted to buy a new toilet bowl, tell me out of stock! But go online, can buy 10,000 graphics cards for overseas. What kind of logic is this?"

Analysts predict a new government initiative involving mandatory domestic furniture purchases, possibly by redirecting outgoing chip consignments to purchase flat-pack wardrobes.
