dun u see the point. they want ppl to buy legal ciggarettes to earn more money for themselves. soon legal ones will go up again.

faroukalhadad SG

u go geylang, u see all the sellers openly selling. but govt seldom catch them

i think that is their tactic

they dun go after the sellers. they go after buyers.

go after sellers, must put them up in jail = spend money on them

go after buyers, fine them $500 per packet = get money for govt coffers

if you seriously think that we have got so much space to expand to accomodate 6.5mil when at currently we're already the 4th most densest country, then by all means go ahead. i'm on the other side of the fence.

tripwire SG

we are the 4th most densest country in the world because of our geographical size...

if you look at the population density by cities... singapore would be at 29.
