LSH: "NATCON just a PR stunt - Manner & contents of PWP confirms this

[Confuseous]

In conclusion,

The Singapore People’s Party is most concerned that there seems to be no new substantive initiatives in this white paper to address Singaporeans’ most pressing problems like negative real median wage increase over the last five years, and the relentless rise in the cost of living, particularly for basic goods and services. There is just the same old measures, like life-long upgrading, Workfare, job-matching and placement programmes.

For whom is the white paper? It does not address these concerns of low income Singaporeans.

We are of the opinion the white paper has framed the issues wrongly. A fundamental revamp of Singapore’s economic growth model is sorely needed; not just stop-gap measures to deal with a population explosion which may themselves engender further costs.

Change has to start today. Our immigration policy must change more boldly. Conversion from foreigners to PR and later to Singaporeans must slow down further.

SMEs that perform poorly in terms of productivity should not be allowed to be artificially sustained.

The National Conversation is just that: a conversation. What do Sinkies expect from a conversation?

I can foresee that the size of HDB flats will be reduced furthur but prices will continue to outpace wage increases, blocks of flats will be built closer together and open space will become lesser.

With 80 seats out of 87 seats in Parliament, do you seriously think they will give a damn about you?
