Singapore To Ease Rules On Sales Of Indian Generic Drugs - Minister

NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- Singapore plans to ease rules on imports of some generic Indian drugs, the island nation's minister of trade and industry said Tuesday.

Indian drugs that have regulatory approval for sale in the U.S., the E.U., Canada, Australia and the U.K. will be exempted from such regulatory approval if sold in Singapore, Lim Hng Kiang said at a news conference.

This is a strange thing to happen. We can ask people to invest heavily in our country's biochemistry industry but we are not interested to start our own generic drugs industry. Now, we have to depend on other country's generic drugs imports?

Go down to no. 2, Jalan Bukit Merah and you'll see the former Pharmaceutical Dept, MOH's drug manufacturing plant which was intentionally closed down during the 1980s as a move to bring in foreign drug companies and their expensive drugs for Singaporean; directly bringing in investment and money into the govt's coffer, at the expense of cheap medical care for the people.
Ever since then, Singaporean have been at the mercy of MNC drug lords and now it has reached a time PAP govt can't hide the fact that people couldn't afford their medication so they try to salvage their image and please the population by allowing cheap generic drugs into the country, where in the first place we could have been self sufficient.

They thing about some of the Untouchables station here in Singapore but they continue to exploit flavourable overseas condition . Yet common folks overseas cannot boycott such people because they relocated into Singapore . They business interest is overseas .
