A gahment has the choice whether they wish to control prices of essential commodities or not or pass it on straight to the consumers. PAP regime especially LKY do not believe nor prastice social welfare. A country could never reach the first world classification if they could not or would look after its poor and sick.They could say as much as they like Sinkapore is a first world but the world know better then that. They could lied to Sinkaporean but the rest of world could not be taken in so easily. We may have a world class health system but it is there only for those we could affort it. If one is poor, sadly it is there to be seen only and out of reach. We must bring change to the current system and so that all Sinkaporean could enjoy the fruit of their labour. It is just being fair nothing to do with one political believe.

1. TOC has progressed leaps and bounds in such a short time. I think video and also audio clips or podcasts will be a very welcome feature to readers, especially the younger set who grew up with tv and pc, and who are totally at home with everything Internet, from mp3 to music videos [in fact, this TOC video is almost a mtv!].
2. Keep up the good work, TOC!
