But the issue here is everything is inflated beyond any mature
economy, the other economy that experience this level of inflation
is China.
Why has inflation increased so much during this 1-2 years?
1) GST increases last year
2) Influx of immigrants due to government's policy of increasing
population to 6 million.
There are other reasons for the increases, but the first 2
reasons are more directly related to the government's 7.5%
inflation rate.
Other reasons
3) Increases in fuel cost
4) Price increases in food commodity
5) Maintaining a dirty float
When inflation goes up, almost everything goes up, so most of us
here would rather they maintain inflation at 1% to 2%.
Nobody has been that illogical as cited by you, it's just that
during these 1-2 years prices have gone up tremendously as a result
of the government's policies. I don't recall folks complaining so
much before the 2004 general elections. Most electorates feel
cheated by the government for implementing the GST increases
without informing the electorates during the elections.
