today Friday April 29, 2011 10Co-driver there to slap driver Tanya Fong tanyafong@mediacorp.com.sg Said Mr Chen: “I ask you, every year, Singapore lets in thousands of foreign workers. How much is enough? Did they ask you? The Singapore Government pays one minister hundreds of thousands (in salary) a year? How much is enough? Did they ask you?” He also broached the issue of income disparity. Citing figures, he said that the average monthly household income per household member is S$354 last year for the bottom 10 per cent of employed households, compared to S$340 in 2008. Said Mr Chen: “Their income has clearly failed to grow at the same pace as our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ... It’s not just for bottom 10 per cent and bottom 20 per cent, you can say the same about our median household — that’s the income of half of our households over the last five, 10 years.” He said the GDP growth “went to corporateprofits and wage income for top earners”. “So, in this environment, is it not fair for the WP ask that prices of new HDB flats be pegged to the incomes of eligible households? Is it not fair for the WP to ask for the Workfare Income Supplement to be benchmarked against increases in cost of living? Is it not fair for the WP to ask for an unemployment insurance scheme for our unemployed workers?” he asked. The party’s chairman, Miss Sylvia Lim, took issue with the “upgrading carrots and threats”. She said: “The PAP Government controls the money that all of us taxpayers contribute to the Government in order to favour their supporters … Does Singapore belong to the PAP? By bullying people in this way is the PAP a First World Government as it claims to be?” |

Reform Party Ang Mo Kio GRC candidate Lim Zi Rui questioned the PAP Government’s ability to listen to the people. “Singapore is prosperous and has improved, but we are not all prosperous,” he said in Mandarin. These shortcomings, the Opposition argued yesterday, buttressed their argument for greater checks and balances on the PAP. On Monday, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said in a press interview that the WP wants to be in the front seat of the car as a “co-driver”, and able to stop the car if it does not like the direction in which it is going. Taking up this analogy, WP chief Low Thia Khiang last night said: “A co-driver is essential, especially when the road gets tougher to navigate. The co-driver is there to slap the driver when he drives off course or when he goes to sleep or drives dangerously.” He added: “But, of course, if the driver is friendly and drives responsibly, we just keep talking to him to keep him awake.” Lawyer and WP candidate Chen Show Mao, who returned to Singapore recently, and who faced questions from the PAP over his ability to identify with Singaporeans’ aspirations, addressed the crowd in all four official languages and spoke about issues close to voters’ hearts: Wages and jobs. Mr Chen noted that the average incomes of Singaporeans had not kept pace with economic growth. At the same time, corporate profits and the wages of the high-income earners are rising faster, he said. NSP’s Tampines GRC candidate Gilbert Goh blamed foreigners for taking away jobs from Singaporeans, with one in three jobs performed by a foreigner. Reform Party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam, at his party’s rally in Clememti, said that if elected to Parliament, his party would push for HDB owners to convert their homes from leasehold into freehold properties while changes to the CPF scheme were needed to give people more control of their savings. During the parties’ political broadcast aired on television last night, Singapore People’s Party chief Chiam See Tong called on voters to let the Opposition keep a regular check on the Government, debate national policies and “most importantly, hold the government accountable for you”. Recent issues that demanded answers include the Mas Selamat escape and “gross overspendinghe said.” for the Youth Olympic Games, Singapore Democratic Alliance candidate Harminder Pal Singh raised five burning issues — including the cost of living and medical expenses — as well as the “social costs” of the PAP Government’s policies, such as the growing income gap and “increasing unhappiness with a societal system that misses out on true care and concern for the people”. |

Both Sitoh Yih Pin and Desmond Choo are working hard and, as I said during the party rally 10 days ago, we’re rooting for them ... Certainly, it will still be a tough fight, but not so tough if Low Thia Khiang and Chiam had been there. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on winning back Hougang and Potong Pasir |

SINGAPORE Spread across the island at four rally sites, the Opposition sang from the same hymn sheet as they harped on a litany of what they argued were results of the PAP’s mismanagement: The recent flooding incidents, the influx of foreigners, the congestion on public transport, the growing income disparity, the rising cost of living and the high property prices. Contrasting the high ministerial salaries to the sums that those under the Public Assistance scheme receive, some of the Opposition candidates also attacked the PAP for not caring enough for the people. These are signs that the “new PAP” cadre, [@s ounded like terminator ? ? ? ? @] a term coined by Singapore Democratic Party candidate Michelle Lee, do not match up to their predecessors — a comparison drawn by three of the four Opposition parties that held their rallies last night. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, National Solidarity Party secretary general Goh Meng Seng said, Singapore used to be a “good country” with jobs, cheap housing and low healthcare costs. “Old ministers like Goh Keng Swee ... were very Socialist, they took care of the people,” [@ he is prOmOted to be a buddha now @] said Mr Goh speaking at a rally site near Geylang East Central. At the SDP’s rally in Commonwealth, Ms Lee said the new PAP has many “blemishes on its track record”. “We have been reminded not to rock Singapore’s foundation and we have absolutely no intention of rocking that. The new PAP, on the other hand, are building houses of straw on these strong foundation when they should be building houses of stones,” she asserted. Over in Hougang, Workers’ Party candidate for East Coast GRC Gerald Giam, a former civil servant, said the PAP’s 52 years in power “has made them complacent and arrogant”. Criticising the Government’s lack of forward planning, he told the crowd: “Our cost of living is shooting up, electricity bills are shooting up, bus fares are up, food prices are up, even the flood-waters are going up. The only thing that’s not going up by much are your salaries.” — The first round of rallies and party political broadcasts kicked off yesterday with the Opposition training their sights on the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) track record over the last five years. |
