The core inflation rate — the central bank's favoured price measure - rose to 2.1% in December on a year-on-year basis, the highest since July 2014 and topping economist forecasts. A Reuters poll of economists had forecast a 1.7% increase. Monday's data showed headline inflation rose by 4%, a near nine-year high, beating economists' forecast of 3.75%.
There remains significant uncertainty surrounding the outlook for inflation in the near term, including from the costs of air travel and commodity prices such as food and oil, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Ministry of Trade and Industry said in a statement.

Upper Bukit Timah deaths: Father charged with murdering 11-year-old sonSINGAPORE: A man was charged on Monday (Jan 24) with murdering his 11-year-old son, whose body was found near a playground in Upper Bukit Timah on Friday. This is absolutely sad 😔 😟 🙁 🙏🙏🙏 This is a wake up call to Singaporeans. SG is an oven. As the consumer price inflation eats into the people's depleting savings, the gov is planning to raise the gst, claiming that inflation is temporary. This reminds us of Powell's assurance that inflation is transitory. It is all lies! The people have submitted to the gov's demand to be gracious like the Australians n return the tray. Now it is the gov's turn to emulate the Australians. Raise the social spending to 20% of the gdp from the current 5%.
