Description	The cabbie saga continues. Joe Benjamin is in danger of losing touch with the times. A new breed emerges in the persona of Ken Andrew. Although a Eurasian, he is very much at home with the local idiom. He can hold his own among a group of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Punjabi friends, as much as he can converse with his fellow Eurasians. Most importantly, he is more tech savvy and takes to new gadgets eagerly without any reservation. For the taxi-driver, the situation in Singapore is excruciatingly frustrating. Suddenly, he is immersed into a new playing field – hardly a level one – where you now see one country with two systems. Doesn’t that sound familiar? It’s an experiment which the government of the day is willing to try. On the one hand, you have the regular or normal taxis. On the other, you have a parallel system of private-hire cars posing as taxis and yet plays by a different set of rules. This book explores the questions on everybody’s minds about the conflicting rules for taxis and that for the private-hire cars. This alone will dominate the entire discussion on the taxi industry. In a nutshell, this is a commentary on the taxi industry in Singapore. It has become a crowded marketplace of cars, apps and drivers. Many are trying to get a piece of the action. Aggressive fight for market share by Grab and Uber made it appear to be a rosy opportunity for anyone who held a driver’s licence to make an extra buck.

Description	In response to the limited engagement with critical social science concerning the governance of Islamic banking and finance (IBF), this paper compares and conceptualizes the development and governance of IBF in Malaysia and Singapore. We argue that IBF governance in Malaysia and Singapore can be distinguished on the basis of ethnic politics, moral suasion, product demand, product innovation, and the character of state practices. Concerning the latter, we contend that the political economy of both countries can be characterized as broadly involving a 'neoliberal-developmentalism', but we nuance this by positing a transition in Malaysia from a 'semi-developmentalism' in the 1980s to what we call an 'Islamic and internationalising ordoliberalism' beginning in the 2000s. In turn, the governance of IBF in Singapore involves a combination of neoliberal developmentalism, which nonetheless also entails some form of Islamic ordoliberalism.

Abstract	Exploiting debit card and credit card transactions of a large, representative sample of consumers from a leading bank in Singapore, we examine the consumption response to an anticipated, transitory price shock generated by the nation-wide annual sale event. Consumers significantly increase their spending during the sale event. More importantly, we find inter-temporal substitution where consumers spend less immediately before the event, and cross-categorical substitution behavior where consumers decrease spending in items unaffected by the sale event. However, consumers exhibit little substitution behavior when they use credit cards or when they are liquidity constrained, highlighting the importance of heterogeneity in assessing the aggregate impact of such stimulus programs. © 2022
