Five years in a row as the most expensive city in the world. This is something all of us including government need to worry about especially if we compare wages with the other expensive cities in the world.

New York and Los Angeles didn't even make the top 10.

The Straits Times reported an extract of Inderjit Singh's analysis of the issues the Singapore economy faces today and also some recommendations which he feel the government, companies and all of us Singaporeans should consider if we want to create a vibrant Future Singapore Economy.

Inderjit Singh did the analysis based on the feedback I have gotten from many from the private sector and also based on my own personal experiences. Many Singaporeans have expressed concern about whether there is a great future ahead for Singapore.

Inderjit Singh urge everyone to share ideas and suggestions you may have. We all have to take personal interest in such issues as the government alone may not have all the answers in the complex world ahead of us.
