#625 - Turbocharging Inflation: GST Debate Heats Up & Pickleball Noise Wars

A heated GST debate erupted this week as Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh accused the government of “turbocharging inflation” with the timing of the GST hike. Academic Ben Leong pushed back on this “irritating” assertion via a social media post, and Minister Shanmugam even agreed by sharing his post. But who’s actually right? Meanwhile, the great Pickleball noise war rages on in Marine Parade, with frustrated residents forcing changes to court usage hours. Are we killing the kampung spirit with all our strict rules?
