"The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore"

I have been getting ready to return to Singapore for a while. Re-adjusting my mindset and keeping up to date with the happenings in Singapore. Worried about the crazy inflation in Asia, this headline caught my eye, in The Online Citizen:

The relentless rising cost of living in Singapore....

The article is found here, and i have made some comments.

I seen your comments on TOC (#88):

If Singaporeans think they are very unfortunate for having such a government, then they are free to leave. No one is stopping them.

I think you made a very good point that Singaporeans who are not happy with the government can only choose to leave Singapore or not, but not vote the ruling party. Why can't they vote? Voting for PAP is voting for the oppression of Opposition in Singapore and then you happily buy in PAP's arguement that they are the only credible political party in Singapore. Isn't this somewhat convuluted?
