154th is at it again. For retail sales comparison, it is always an
industry practice to compare "like-to-like", ie against same period
last year (seasonally adjusted for public holidays), instead of
month-to-month comparison. Squaring off Aug retail sales against July
is simply meaningless. Both Bloomberg and RTTNews give a more accurate
headlines to the news, as compared to our local mainstream media.

If one look at the sudden up-surge in all the pretentious "good news" - it is easy to conclude that the PAP is creating a "positive feel-good" atmosphere to lay the way forward to a surprise election.
Compare the State Propaganda of the "false positive" August performance with the other report on the "psuedo positive" improvement in the other thread - ‘Strong recovery continues, Sg growth forecast revised up’ (*1) - the trend becomes clearer.
The PAP cannot strike more fear into Singaporeans by telling everyone to vote PAP as our future is uncertain, as Singaporeans are tired of this propaganda.
Afterall why should Singapore expect things to be uncertain anymore - especially when we have those supposed elite talents paid million dollar wages at the helm ?
