1) Removal of PAP from power in SG
2) Removal of NTUC and to institute real unions that protect workers
3) A powerful and competent CASE that is non-partisan (independent)
4) Removal of CPIB from PMO and to be independent
5) Removal of partisanship power over kindergartens, running of town councils, upgrading programmes, PA
6) Accountability at Temasek and GIC and any other GLCs
7) Removal of current procedures at setting the pay of ministers and top-end civil servants to better reflect the role of civil servants. We will reward them well for the rest of their lives but we will not pay them ridiculous amounts of money that does nothing but to attract poorly aligned civil servants.
8) Make the Elections Office independent and free from partisanship
9) Have MoM install a procedure similar to UK where companies can only hire FTs after it is proven that local sare not able to or will not take on jobs given to FTs. This will also cover FTs renewing their employment passes.
10) Dismantling of a number of GLCs to promote more homegrown entreprenuership
11) Repurchase of power plants from foreign ownership
12) Removal of GLCs that restrict competition but allow for GLCs for the protection of strategic industries
13) Removal of unfair and unnecessary taxes against the populace
14) Reinstitute estate duty/tax - FTs can come and make our island their home but they have to understand that paying estate taxes is the cost of entry. We have done a lot over the years to ensure that the country is clean and largely safe and without natural disasters, there are a lot of welathy individuals who will not mind paying estate duty to settle here.
15) Change the system in which the judiciary is chosen - make the judiciary independent of the political arm
16) Reduce the number of MPs to better reflect the size of our country and to encourage only full-time MPs - includes removal of SM/MM roles
17) Remove all non elected MPs
18) All police/ISD/CAD?CPIB interrogation/interviews to be CCTV-ed 24 hours/at all times
19) Criminalise the use of foreign guards/soldiers on local soil
20) Require all politicians and high office holders of GLCs and stat boards to declare their income and assets once every two years.
21) Allow the use of CPF to pay off certain accrued debts to garment agencies
22) Change the entire education system to allow for an open-ended education system
23) Removal of all current and ex-ISD officers from SPH
24) Allow for a freer media industry
25) Seperate the excutive branch & organs of the State from any political affliation - covered a couple of areas above but this one is to cover all ot4her areas
26) Start a board of inquiry into Operation Cold Store. Any illegal activity to be investigated and persons found to have infringed the law(s) to be brought to justice
27) Start a board of inquiry into racial riots in the 60s to look into possible illegal activities by persons yet to have faced te law for any of their digression.
28) Total revamp of HDB and pricing of public housing. This to include all other garment agencies involved with land ownership and rental, including office/factory space
29) Initiate a programme to bring back the CPF to what it was original used for - old-age pension.
30) Look into returning CPF to those 55 and above, as promised in the early days
31) Remove certain goods and services from the GST coverage to ligten the load on poorer families
32) Look into improving productivity at the SMRT immediately
33) Removal of ISD - don't remove but tune it so as it is not used as a political tool but for the safety of the people.
34) Start a new task force that targets organised crime that includes, prostitution, loan sharking, smuggling of goods and people. The orginaised criminals now seem more organised than the poodles.
35) Increase salary of the lower waged police and customs and immigration workers and simultaneously increase the penalty if they are found to be corrupt.
36) Reduce annual in-camp reservist from 4 weeks to 2 weeks and disallow SAF from carrying over the 2 weeks onto another year if it is not used. Use more regulars to help setup reservist stints to ensure more productive time during reservist training.
37) Restrict each individual from owning more than one property, be it private or public housing. Those currently with more than one property will be given time (6 months to three years) to sell the additional houses. SLA to look into the selling so that the market is not flooded with houses. Singapore is too small to allow for speculation in the property market. Those that want to speculate can do so overseas.
38) More healthcare benefits for everybody as we have spent too little on healthcare. Our hospitals are ridiculously overcrowded. Will look into requiring private hospitals to use 30% of their facilities as part of a public hospital. This to happen for a few years until newer hospitals are built to cater to our population.
39) Institute unemployment benefits for laid off families - once the ridiculous housing issues are covered ,we can look into using part of the CPF to help the unemployed to use part of their CPF to tide them over hard times.
40) Free education up to secondary school. University to expensive lah but will look into making it cheaper for Singaporeans to obtain degrees.
- No more unnecessary investments in foreign banks and financial institutions.
- certainly the PAPies greed is also their weakness.
- Encourage people to speak up
- Yes, this will be a side effect of the many more liberal policies covered in other areas.
- Freedom of Peaceful Assembly
- already covered in removal of emergency laws which restricts many political activities
- Removal of Executive influences over Judiciaries.
- already covered
- Control population growth (do away unnecessary immigrants, send them back)
- already covered
- Improvement of Infrastructures
- covered with SMRT and with fewer FTs, we should be able to manage. I will add onto medical above to also cover this area as we spend very little as compared to toher developed countries.
- Provides monetary incentives to automate the production plants, to rely less on foreign workers.
- let each company decide what is best for them but have garment agencies to help out when required
- Encourage the growth of SMEs.
- already covered
- Expand University education, conduct more research through provision of more funds.
-will look into this but will definitely look into reducing expenditure on scholarships for FTs.
- Removal of stupid titles like MM/SM and jiak liao bees in PMO office.
- Already covered
- Limit the President/PM to serve max of 2 terms.
- maybe three terms is better as being small and three generation of Singaporeans either being jailed and forbidden from politics or politically naive.
- Speed up Internet access to 100Gbps!! - will try lah but with a more competitive media industry and a CASE that actually protects consumers, we can expect better services and perhaps cheaper.
- Have a balance budget! - a balanced isn't a good thing. a budget is not only to finance the country's expenditure but also as a macroeconomic tool. In certain years a deficit is good while in others a surplus is good. But you cannot believe the PAPies because they do not release and hence do not include the figures for land sales and this is a significant amount.
- Removal of CASINOs - too late now and too soon to close it. agreed it is better not to have it but more has to be studied to look at how to manage this diabolical beast.
- Removal of Prostitutions
- have to better manage it.
- Lift the ban on Satellite TV
- This is possible but maybe do it slowly. There is concern that local shows may suffer from lower viewership and hence we lose a common identity. More needs to be looked at and also if and how to limit the number and type of channels.
-Control the HDB Prices, don't let it skyrocket without unnecesarily
- already covered
:p
