Where's the planning?
'The measures to curb property price escalation, transport congestion and the influx of foreigners appear to be knee-jerk reactions.'
DR GOH PHUAY YEE: 'The measures to curb property price escalation, transport congestion and the influx of foreigners appear to be knee-jerk reactions rather than well-planned measures. The Government is in the best position to plan ahead with information from statistics on population numbers, availability of accommodation, number of commuters the system can take, number of vacancies in schools, and such. It should be able to regulate the inflow of foreigners without causing a sudden crunch on our infrastructure, jobs and social stability. All these problems arose over the years because of a lack of foresight and swift response.'
