#445 - Parliament Debates Whether Perfume Is a Basic Need & Yeo’s LKY Drink Packets

A debate about whether perfume should be classified a basic necessity or aspirational good took place in Parliament this week, as part of a discussion about what constitutes a minimum living standard in Singapore. Why does Jamus Lim think so highly of perfume? Elsewhere, the use of LKY’s likeness in LKY100 campaigns came under scrutiny this week, as people questioned whether Yeo’s packet drinks bearing his image would be disposed of properly and respectfully.
