"It is easy for the PAP to slam the opposition on the quality of proposals. Apart from the length of time that the PAP has had in developing this population White Paper, they also have an entire machinery of civil servants at their disposal churning out data which, apart from the topline information available on Singstats, is not available to the public.
With a Freedom of Information Act that is sorely lacking in this country, and with this comparative advantage that only elected officials in white have more access to such information, it is natural that they should have more facts at their fingertips to debunk any alternative proposal that the opposition puts up." - Nicole Seah
