I don’t understand why we still have MBT and TPL in Parliament. Screw the GRC system, each candidate should be opposed one-on-one. Singapore today is mature enough to not make race or religion a deciding factor.<\/p>\n
Workers Party, please do us proud. I offer my 2 cents:<\/p>\n
Abolish the CPF installment payments starting at 62 years of age – it does not benefit the poor at all. Not many of them live till that age. The statistics are flawed. Only the rich get to receive this money.<\/p>\n
Please don’t raise the HDB income ceiling already – it will encourage more rich people to buy and further inflate the flat prices.<\/p>\n
Instead, stagger the income ceiling based on the flat type, i.e. bigger flat bigger ceiling so the higher income group don’t contend with the lower income group with the 4-room flats causing it to rise much faster than the rest.<\/p>\n
Lower the income ceiling for PRs – this will encourage the well-to-do PRs to either rent (good for Singaporeans) or buy private property at inflated and more violatile prices.<\/p>\n
Impose more penalties on crappy public transport operators.<\/p>\n
Stop the gerrymandering and grant us our rights to freedom of speech.<\/p>\n
Lower the crazy ministerial salaries, tax the rich, provide healthcare for the poor.<\/p>\n
Finally, curb the influx of foriengners that are not only taking away some low income worker’s jobs but also breaking up families.<\/p>\n
Create quotas for different industry segments based on supply and demand.<\/p>\n
I’m not saying all foreign talents should go – skilled white-collar workers that we can learn a trick or two from can stay. That’s what they are here for – they want a jumping board, trade up their knowledge for a few years. Fair and square.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
