Sure, even if we assume this hiding is 100% true, the Telegraph article did not even bother to address this issue. All it did was put up a fake news headline, then proceeded to report on a bunch of unrelated and even contradicting facts in the actual fine print.Such conclusions are also formed as the pap has been hiding the poverty level since forever as it's bad optics. Look at the gini index and the hidden poverty mentioned by Nicole when she was with NSP.
Telegraph has zero interest in reporting on the inflation situation in Singapore (which I agree is far more serious than what the PAP and its controlled media is letting on) and is obviously more interested in generating stories to save Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party.
