Hi, when I read this report by Khaw Boon Wan, I have the following thoughts: No doubt that rising cost of issue is a global issue, but in Singapore, the rising cost is worsened by the government policiies, namely: (a) housing. We have heard enough of this, but the government just refuse to see it, talking about understanding issues on the ground! (c) public transport & private transportation. By changing to distance-based fares, we seemed to be hearing more of people paying more rather than less as claimed by the government. Their COE system and ERP system is double whammy for car owners. (c) increase in electricity tariffs and fuel costs. All these companies are owned by foreigners now.
