Yeah? But they are pretty good producing nice graphs.

It shows household income rising in tandem with HDB prices.

Yes, not so "in tandem" if the base year was 2001. In fact only when you choose 1999 to be the base year instead of any other year in the last 10 years, you can show this "in tandem" movement.

Someone dropped a comment to the previous post on the topic to say that using household income is really inappropriate.

Definitions of household income[Wikipedia]

1. The residents of the household do not have to be related to the head of the household for their earnings to be considered part of the household's income

2.That the size of a household is not commonly taken into account in such measures may distort any analysis of fluctuations within or among the household income categories, and may render direct comparisons between quintiles difficult or even impossible.[3]

Obviously they have to give you the nice figures.

charlize SG

He probably didn't have to do the chart himself.

He had to instruct his ministry or HDB to come up with as best a chart as they could do based on the figures they had.

ahtansh SG

The chart has a little mistake, Change the words.

Red line - IMH: The number of singaporeans admitted into IMH due to this recession.

Blue Line -RIP: The number of Singaporeans died due to this recession.

Chart does not show how Singaporeans felt.
