      inflation isn't exactly their fault, it's just how economics works. It's a global issue, not something only Singapore experiences. In fact compared to places like Turkey and Argentina our inflation is quite tame, and the PAP has arguably done a decent job of managing inflation amidst the current global economic situation.

    May God grant our new Prime Minister, Lawrence Wong His wisdom, knowledge and discernment spirit to lead the little red dot country Singapore and her people with integrity and righteousness.
    Father God, we ask You to fill our city, state and nation Government leaders with Your wisdom, understanding, discernment and knowledge. Draw our Prime Minister and his cabinet ministers to You and cause to know and fulfil Your purpose. Lord, please protect Singapore from the division the challenges our ability to live lives pleasing to You. Help them to lead the country in righteousness, transparency and protect us from any corruption.

    Nothing against him as a person or PM but he speaks real funny imo. Has weird inflections, pacing, and drags out his words at odd places. E.g. even at 0:01 the use of the word "colleagues" --- he says "ker-LEEEKS" as opposed to "COLL-leegs" ... it feels as though he had a speech coach who told him he had to slow things down and add emphasis, which is good, but then went overboard with it... lol
