New consumer law in Singapore

The new consumer rights law, also called the "lemon law" is not as strong as seen by international starndards. See this comment from New Zealand, http://www.consumerblogs.org.nz/consumer/2012/03/singapores-new-consumer-rights-laws.html

  1. Dun read too much into this lemon law to protect consumers, it's just a strategy to appease the people, who have been duped by the business community in recent years, but still leaving a path of many loopholes businessmen could use to extricate themselves out.
    Similarly, on paper Govt said they are tightening the tap on inflow of Foreign workers, but hey presto, they also quickly come out with the extension of work contract from 5 years to 10 years to FW already in the workforce.
    So back to square one for the next 5 to 10 years to maintain the status quo, and they still call it tightening.
    Govt could be angels and devils at the same time. Cool.
