GE2025: Singapore Democratic Party - Party Political Broadcast 2, May 1

Описание: The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has a vision of a Singapore where everyone can thrive. It also has a comprehensive set of policies covering healthcare, housing, population, economy, education and climate change. SDP chairman Paul Tambyah outlined these key thrusts in a GE2025 party political broadcast on Thursday (May 1). He said although there are only 11 SDP candidates standing for election, every one of them will raise these issues in parliament to hold the government accountable if they are elected. They will make sure that policy changes work for the people of Singapore rather than only for the elites living in “palatial bungalows”, he said. They will also run their own town councils to make sure that fees are well spent, he added. Dr Tambyah pointed out that the People’s Action Party appears to have no meaningful policies beyond vouchers and other handouts, and has not addressed structural issues such as rental costs, utilities and transportation. Instead, it chose to raise the GST, not once but twice - adding fuel to the fire of inflation. He said the SDP has shown that the GST can be reduced back to seven per cent without significantly affecting the projected budget surplus for FY 2025.
