Minister of Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang addressed on Monday in Parliament that Singapore's inflation is expected to remain at around five per cent for the next few months, and to ease gradually at second half of the year. Other highlights include the set-up of an independent Committee of Inquiry to look into the recent deaths of full-time national servicemen; and MND's assurance of necessary intervention if there is clear evidence of unsustainable investor demand for shoe-box apartments.
