[h=2]DPM Tharman: Govt aims to build an inclusive society for all Singaporeans in the next five years[/h]Posted by temasektimes on May 5, 2012
The Singapore government will do more to build an inclusive society for all Singaporeans in the next five years, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and Manpower Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
In an published in the PAP’s newsletter PETIR, Mr Tharman described an ‘inclusive’ Singapore as one which aimed at giving every Singaporean a real chance to improve their lot in life and to enable them to share in the nation’s progress.
The government will try to find ways to help disadvantaged Singaporeans catch up and do well as well as to provide special aid to small and medium enterprises so that they remain a vibrant part of the economy for years to come.
“The government is providing substantially more resources to uplift and support lower- and middle-income Singaporeans if you add up all that the government is doing — from healthcare and housing subsidies to Workfare and the new GST vouchers,” he added.

I do wonder what the government had done in the past, especially after GCT took over as PM? These issues should have been resolved a long time ago. We have so many talented ministers and thousands of highly paid brainy civil servants, yet there are many insurmountable problems that until today are still in their "IN" tray.

Our neighbours are ahead of us in this respect and Malaysia has already addressed their ISA and minimum wage problems. We should be 10 years ahead instead of putting it off for another 5 years. Why 5 years, you ask? Well they need a sweetener for the next coming elections 5 years from now and get our votes.
