Democrats officially launch alternative economic plan
Tuesday, 16 November 2010
Singapore Democrats

The Singapore Democrats officially launched its economic manifesto at the pre-election rally last Saturday. Entitled It's About You, this publication is a comprehensive and detailed account of the SDP's proposals to take Singapore forward.

Mr Gandhi Ambalam, chairman of the party, unveiled the publication during the opening ceremony of the rally and called the PAP to stop, once and for all, the nonsense that the opposition does not have the solutions to Singapore's economic problems. Unfortunately, its media continue to black out news of the SDP's programme.

This will not discourage us from campaigning on our manifesto during the elections. We ask our supporterrs to help us highlight this publication and spread the word that the SDP has in place a workable and realistic economic alternative to the PAP's policies, one that will benefit all Sinaporeans and uplift our society.

Below is Mr Ambalam's address during the launch:

Ladies and gentlemen,

The PAP is fond of accusing the opposition of not offering an alternative vision for Singapore. It continues to propagate the untruth that its policies are the only ones for Singapore and that the opposition cannot come up with anything better.

It gives me great pleasure to, once and for all, demolish this nonsense. I proudly present to you the SDP's alternative economic programme. Entitled It's About You, this programme is a comprehensive and detailed presentation of our party's proposals and solutions to the current economic problems that many Singaporeans face.

This report deals with a wide range of economic problems that Singaporeans encounter from healthcare cost to income inequalty, from the inadequacy of CPF funds to the exploitative wage system.

Our biggest contention is the widening disparity between the super-rich in this country and middle- and lower income groups. Such a trend is both unhealthy and unsustainable for our country. It is an economic structure that exploits rather than inspires.

What we propose is a system levels up society, that ensures economic justice and one that allows prosperity for all Singaporeans, not just the wealthy and powerful. It is an egalitarian economic system that we seek and will work towards.

Most of all, we want to emphasize that with this publication the SDP once again proves itself to be a party that is constructive and is worthy of the support of the people.

Thank you.

Gandhi Ambalam

I'll vote for any economic policy that gives me free food, free housing, free transport and free pension happily ever after.

I am a little more demanding. In addition to the above, Martell and Marlboro menthol. Viagra, condoms and sex, it's ok - I pay.

LKY has already openly declared that there's no free lunch in SG!

These pesky egalitarian 反对党. Instead of baking more pies, they waste their energy and time fighting over who gets a "fair" share. Keep robbing the rich and they'll just pack up their bags and leave. Such is the nature of capital flight. As I've stated ad nauseam, Robin Hood was no nobleman. He was a thief.

Wait till SDP become goverment and declare that they want to raise their own pay a few times more than PAP, then we see if anything free can ever happen.

later they might even intro a breathing tax and in the name of democracy, they will declare that its your choice to breath and pay...or dont pay and hence...dont breath.

To me, the extreme display of SDP for the past 15 years had shown that there are politicans more PAP than PAP themselves. More tyrannic, more illogical and you can say, more thuggish than what PAP was like in the 60s.

I mean, we though PAP is scary, there could be worse.

Everyday I pray to all the Gods and in all directions that SDP don't contest in my GRC. I hate the headache of choosing PAP or SDP. May end up spoiling my vote if both appear. SDP is that bad. Even if they put a dog, cat, rabbit, lizard and cockroach, I will vote for them.

Do you think the other opposition parties will offer to lower their pay if they form a new government?
I'll be really shocked if they do. Pleasantly shocked, but still shocked.

At the start, YES. Then, history repeats itself.

Bro,that is not the issue,the issue is they can be replaced and will be replayed.
Thanks
