Today, there is alleged inflation due to capital outflows from USA(FED) Japan due to their aggressive Quantitative Easing (QE) aka print $$$ policies. Today these large countries export $$$ into Asia, tomorrow (or has it started?) they will export immigrants in large numbers... perhaps the PAP is now building more HDB flats in preparation for their arrival... whatever the case, vegetables at NTUC will no longer cost the same as they cost now...

The electoral system in Singapore lies in urgent need of reform and remedy.

Re thread: Before we introduce the FT MP, how about updating the parliamentary elections act?
Well, with the citizenship easily given to perceived foreign talent, PAP probably wun be that daft to risk the loss of votes to make changes to the constitution to let non-citizens become MPs. There are already some foreign-born MPs in the parliament, but all of them have Singapore citizenship.

An apology in favor of Dr Lee WL is fit and proper.
