CECA Math

When Singapore’s Opposition parties were only given a fraction of the politically charged numbers they requested from the government on the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), such as the total number of “foreign talents” from India and their family members who are presently working and living in the country, and the number of locals who benefited from the Singapore-India free trade agreement that was signed in 2005.

Singaporeans won’t lose sleep or go on strike because sensitively constipated CECA math statistics aren’t going to come out (until one day when the Opposition wins the hearts of a majority electorate)—99.99% of locals don’t need immigration figures as living proof, because they, their loved ones, or friends had seen or experienced the aftermath of this one-sided deal first-hand.
