I do agree that having concrete data/statistics about CECA and other initiatives by the government will shed some light. But in case you didn't know, whatever statistics and evidence is all held by the government. They release whatever they like, when they like, how they like. Just watch the recent parliamentary debate, do you really think the government will give the opposition or citizens whatever data/statistics just because we request for it? Or do you think the government will strategically release certain stats to paint a picture that CECA is actually benefitting everyone in SG? Go figure.

Then your conversation and focus should be directed towards how we can get the government to release the figures, and why it is important, rather than jumping the step and throwing statements/conclusions, no matter how anecdotal they might be. On a similar note, they just released certain numbers with regards to PR statuses, which people have always been asking for. Not as comprehensive as we would like it to be for sure, but it's a start to a decent conversation.
Blaming CECA, blaming PRs, blaming LGBTS, blaming God, blaming the rich, blaming the government without statistics, blaming anyone, certainly doesn't help whatever cause you are fighting for. Go figure.
