It is not about one of the most expensive... ... During early days of Lee Kuan Yew and gang's governance, inflation was a MAJOR issue they were guarding against.

Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world!! What more is there to say? Lower GST to 5 percent. Cut wages of top civil service and ministers. Cut waste.

I wish the hdb resale or any sales will go down. Buying a house in SG is super crazy the way the price or sale price shoot up and I can't even imagine nearly like 600k or nearly a million for HDB flat??? The price is ridiculous and I don't even dare to used my cpf buy house lol I rather rent to pay then having my cpf totally wipe out
WHY MUST LET OUR CPF RETIREMENT MONEY IN CPF, RATHER THAN IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT SO THAT WE CAN USE IT, AT LEAST HALF OF IT IN THE BANK.. THAT IS OUR HARD EARN MONEY AFTER ALL..
Thank you Mr Pritam. The interest is a huge burden added to the already rising cost of living. IRAS just charged me 5% late penalty in my YA2023 income tax. Why can’t they be more patient, 2023 has not ended yet. And knowing that IRAS is a govt body, i feel disgusted and disappointed for such policy. What they changed me in reality is actually interest.
They even have the audacity to enact a law to make us re-register our ICs just to collect $10/- each for a government service which are already running on our taxes. Double squeeze. Many Singaporeans are still in slumber when even a $1/- increase means at least $5.9000000/-
It is the best timing for hawkers and businesses to take the opportunity to raise their prices. High prices would not be reduced even their cost of business came down in the future. Rising living cost not only affects lower income Singaporean but also retirees who have no income.
As more opposition members gain seats and public opinion shifts, it’s clear that the PAP faces the challenge of adapting to an environment that demands transparency, fairness, and genuine competition.

For example a purchase or services of $1,000, prices increase of 5% would be $50 but if the actual cost of good or services is only $600 an increase in |% GST is only $6.00 increase in cost of good sold. It is very obvious that the cost of living would increase by $44.00. Should the government control profiteering?
makes no sense for govt to slap a price ceiling, if the vendors raise prices more than necessary, other competitors have an interest to keep prices low to increase market share. putting a price ceiling will only incur more loss to society.
How can pap continue to say they are doing well in this 1. Electricity 2. Water 3, COE 4. Mortgage 5. Childcare costs 6. Transport fares 7. Gst increase 8. Manpower costs 9. Material costs for input. All went up. Compounded effect at least 20-30 percent baseline costs increase for a lot of people. Giving out money is not the solution. They should finance these semi gov institutions. Example would be Sp group- why are the private, with projects like district cooling in tengah- clearly sp failed in the business case planning to actually believe Sp group can be an aircon company. Lol.
Yes these are the worthy issues that you Mr Pritam, I would hold high regards that you have raised. Our now prime minister and his ministers are too much of a millionaires to even grace their passing thoughts. It is sad that the voting Singaporeans, the 75% still don't see the tragic trajectory that awaits us all, why is it that they don't notice (I mean these 75% lot), that eventually we will rot, it's already happening !

Some suggestions to lower cost of living: cut GST to 3 percent. Cut wasteful expenditure such as proposed subsidies to SPH newspapers. Cut defence expediture. Do we need F35 aircraft? Import thousands of doctors, nurses from lost cost regions to lower medical costs. Lower ministers and civil service salaries by up to 80 percent. Cut wasteful expenditure. And so much more...
About time to aim for 20%... ... ... then 30% GST... ... ...then 50%... ... After all, anyone moved from kampong under OLD HDB to the flats expected LEASEs to end up S$1,000,000 and up up away?

Mr Pritam thank you for raising this very important issue. This must be not be looked at in staccato or universally, but our population in segments. If we raised up regional wars (Russia-Ukraine/Israel-Hamas), Covid-19 then we are lost. Please don't treat Singaporeans as idiots (and I don't mean you Mr Pritam), we need to find multi solutions to ease the pain, but not hand out, don't be lazy and don't look for quick fixes (and I don't mean you Mr Pritam). Instead of raising $1 to $3 why not 50 cents or 70 cents and reduce rental and other costs. There are ways to be helpful, moderate and successful but we don't need world class bullshit. We can restart co-op establishment to allow Singaporeans to purchase essentials at lower prices. The only group who has a "helicopter view" is the government and if they think its a waste of their time then they should just make it clear, so that the real Singaporeans can vote correctly i.e. vote for your team Mr Pritam. Frankly I'm tired of listening to arrogant people who are so high up there and just want to give Singaporeans a lecture on fundamentals of economy and the factors causing costs of living to increase. When I was a child wanton mee per bowl was 30 cents, today it's $4/-, mind you I'm still alive and well. If you tell me this is progress then I'm gullible to believe you at face value. LHL and his team forget the normal Singaporeans when they are millionaires and insulated from the rest of us. Singaporeans! , are you ready to restart Singapore please !
Go on and kudos lah... ... talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk... ... I also can, you also can. I kudos you 1,000,000,000 times... ... ... you have any capability to clean up the mess? If not... ... I no say anything you and everyone can also kudos me... ... no difference, isn't it? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... ... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... ... Have fun, mortals.
We better have more opposition parties to work together to really care for the people of SG. I kept seeing the increase in prices everywhere even at NTUC kopitam, yet ten percent discount is not for every menu unlike the old kopitam whether it is promotional items or not. It is across the board.
They would rather increase their own pay and salaries first. The meaning of being the imperial masters of Singapore is totally lost on a group of people who despite a good Western education are now acting like heartless mandarins who continue to increase salt taxes to rub the salt in.
Singapore 🇸🇬 has become a *loud Chinese mouthpiece* as a result of its lax on the Chinese regime's influence on Chinese Singaporeans. - This is an existential problem.
I guess it’s very hard for the high n mighty salaried ministers to stay relevant to the middle & lower income especially when renting GCB @5 figure monthly while saying HDB is affordable ..
We have not even checked their overseas assets yet. Why do you think they are pushing the law to allow President and ministers to hold positions in foreign organisations - to justify their humongous overseas assets?

Any attempt to set up an independent mechanism outside the Government is doomed to failure as long as the PAP have absolute control of Parliament and the executive. It will just be wayang, quickly captured like every other institution in Singapore by LHL and his family which will ensure that the appointees are people closely connected to him.
😂😂😂 vote WP also useless lah! Only fools vote WP! WP have no sincerity to help Singaporeans, that why WP want to contest only 30% of seat after so many yearssss in politics 😂😂😂 LKY take over government within one election ! I stay with my kid in HK and tour china. My properties are rented out. Hope PAP bring in more FT😂
The PAP has made Singapore to become a TOTAL business centre for those of their interests, and this will continue as long the majority Slaves who does not know even they are, supports them, until the day PAP becomes so powerful enough to destroy itself within. Beyond this, forget about Parliament, Oppositions, etc, the amount of crap and rubbish generated for drama and entertainment only.
😊Nowadays it's workers party who stand with the common everyday Singaporeans by now while pap are living in an alternate reality focusing on themselves and the super rich residents they have invited into Singapore. Pap always announce and introduce price increase in Singapore. To the point that now Singaporeans who are a part of South East Asia are now paying developed European living cost without the gold European standard in life.
Elaborate how Singapore is better then. Go on. Give it a try. See how many Singaporeans can be persuaded by you then. Free education, healthcare,better food and meats than Singapore,four seasons and freehold etc. You are just brainwashed by Singapore dogmas and social conditioning that's all.
The only way to hold the Government accountable is to elect more Opposition MPs, who will not succumb to pressure and don’t go around praising the PAP, saying they should continue in power for the next 50 years and offering to keep them there should the PAP, heaven forbid, lose their majority like Pritam Singh offered to do a few years back.
Not for all Opposition parties. I think a number of Singaporeans would only vote for parties like WP and PSP . The rest of the parties is a waste of time and resources
Half the size of the economy is sustained by low-income locals and foreigners. Even haircutting has also become a low-income industry that provides jobs for foreigners such as Malaysians. Every day, under the sun and rain, Singaporeans doing Grab food delivery are competing with Malaysians and other foreigners to earn that S$2500 monthly income. How about the other half of the economy? Singapore's GDP per capita (IMF): 2005: US$30,000 2020: US$60,000 (doubled in 15 years) 2023: US$90,000 (grew another US$30k in 3 years) Singapore is a global financial (money laundering) hub. The other half of the economy is sustained by HOT MONEY. Now you know why HDB 4-rm flats are S$500,000 and above? Now you know why 3-bdrm 1000 sqft condos are S$2 million? Now you know why the rise of COE prices cannot be slowed down? Now you know why the living cost is so high? Naive, if you think towkays can afford to pay you high wages and salaries in order for you to live expensively. Ha ha ha!

well done WP for speaking up for Sporeans. our highly paid PAP leaders hv lost their way and can't relate with living costs n pressures of average Sporeans!
Change policies to reduce government civil servants especially those highly paid categories like the ministers n president thou we only have small land n population n no natural disasters yet their salary are much higher America President that those bigger land n population country where they have natural disasters . We keep bragging we are first world class country yet we have seniors selling tissue paper at train stations n walkways worst some are on wheelchair .
Last thing we need is a Central Bank chief who reads the headline inflation figure to tell the country that inflation is under control. Do we even spend money on the same items first thing in the morning, everyday? How about cutting GST and raising corporate and personal tax from higher income earners as an alternative? Also a good time to raise tax applicable to foreign workers , or from a flat rate to a progressive one?

The “inbreeding of ideas” within PAP has produced “defective policies” for Singapore in the last 15 years, resulting in “a malformed economy”, said Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan. “The autocratic effort of keeping the political bloodline pure within the PAP has produced a society unable to respond to changes and begun the slow but certain undoing of this country,” he added.
The significance of PM Lee’s speech lies in its celebratory recount of past victories and the subtext-the need for the PAP to evolve. The question that remains is whether the PAP will continue to resort to hardline measures like the ISA to protect its interest or will it embrace a more open political contest as a hallmark of Singapore’s progress?
PAP, why not solve the high cost of living first. Housing and car are so ridiculously expensive. Young couples cannot afford living in Singapore. People immigrate to other countries where one can afford big car and house. Furthermore, Singapore flat/house and land are not yours as majority of properties are 99 years leasehold which is ridiculous. Thus more than 80 percent of people in Singapore are renting and not home owners.
The double standard is on the pap not the opposition side most of the time You People are the ones trying make the opposition sound as bad as possible or fit your agenda of getting rid of them from parliament if WP getting elected in 2011 is so bad when it is only one GRC they lost that Is democracy if they win, the GRC system isn’t something the opposition can win through so easily More opposition winning is a good thing for the people and the country cause pap got enough power already
I notice that, it is not only rising price of food, but hawkers are cutting the portion in each package of food, whether it is chicken rice or economic rice.
Not sure if it’s brought up before but the cut off amount that’s taxable in personal income tax should also be raised to be in line with inflation or current standard of living. Those citizens who are considered as middle income NOW and have to pay tax in the current system would be relieved of this burden. This relieved from tax combining the assistance that the government would be more useful for newly “demoted” middle income group and the lower income group.
The PCI which measures each family income whether assistance would be given to them be it school fees or others should also be raised…again is for those newly”demoted” middle income group to lower income group. It’s made worse for the newly “demoted” middle income group because they might end up not to the lower income group but half way in between which made them not qualifying for assistance from government.
I don't think so. Look at the quality of the rest of the candidates . I think the only alliance that may do well if only PSP and WP formed an alliance . The rest waste time and resources
Calling on all Singaporeans to protest. Exert your democratic rights. You may protest anything. COLA, LGBTQ rights, Israel-Hamas conflict, cost of living crisis, Ridout Road saga, SI corruption probe, etc.
If WP ideas are so “populist” then why is bad when the opposition call for more help for the people, there is nothing wrong with the opposition is doing
Car washing with water at petrol station should be ban n at multi storey carpark these are the unforeseen that water consumption increases unnecessarily. Those who want wash cars carry pail n not spray water like nothing happen.
Is Pritam argument taken seriously? Politically opposition stance is viewed as passive without bite. As opposition leader a call for referendum to demand govt reduced the numerous indirect taxes the culprit of high cost of living. Further cAll for transparency of GIC investment results to show profits that can be used to cover for global increase cost of living.
Since the PAP members are adamantly refuses to genuinely reduce the living cost, I believe we the electorates should know what to do in the next General Elections.
PS talks with sense. The whites talk from the prespectives of $ n what they see is gd or inline with their "own" policy or judgements.. nvr wrong. So ironic. 🤔
A good question but no parties could answer it as it is formulated and being done by a group of people who work under one of the Ministries . The Ministries then report their findings to the Government who endorses
looking at the opp supporters comments is laughable...your wp has not desire to be in-charge, no intention to be the govt, just want to talk big and criticise for the sick of criticising. If they think PAP is incompetence, replace them

Yes pls. Pls help... my salary is not increasing but eveeything else is getting more expensive 😢
Try living in batam
Yes these are the worthy issues that you Mr Pritam, I would hold high regards that you have raised. Our now prime minister and his ministers are too much of a millionaires to even grace their passing thoughts. It is sad that the voting Singaporeans, the 75% still don't see the tragic trajectory that awaits us all, why is it that they don't notice (I mean these 75% lot), that eventually we will rot, it's already happening !
Less than 60% lah
Times to change they control to much it's time to change election is coming soon 😂😂
@@Diderot68 you're not a Singaporean !
@@danielquantum143why do you think so? I can actually my schoolmate sitting right behind Mr Pritam Sighn as he speaks. Also, where do you get the 75% from?
😂 kile kopitiam uncle talk, vote WP also useless lah! Only fools vote WP! WP have no sincerity to help Singaporeans, that why WP want to contest only 30% of seat after so many yearssss in politics 😂😂😂 LKY take over government within one election !
That's practical living
Times are really tough!
Thanks Pritam for bringing up issues others try to keep mum.
Some suggestions to lower cost of living: cut GST to 3 percent. Cut wasteful expenditure such as proposed subsidies to SPH newspapers. Cut defence expediture. Do we need F35 aircraft? Import thousands of doctors, nurses from lost cost regions to lower medical costs. Lower ministers and civil service salaries by up to 80 percent. Cut wasteful expenditure. And so much more...
Lower cost of living…? Are you kidding me..? We are slaves!
Before GST hike again in Jan 2024
Some household item prices already inflated.
About time to aim for 20%... ...
... then 30% GST... ...
...then 50%... ...
After all, anyone moved from kampong under OLD HDB to the flats expected LEASEs to end up S$1,000,000 and up up away?

Well said. Unfortunately, the govt will disregard all opposition proposals and push forward with policies that raise the cost of living.
Mr Pritam thank you for raising this very important issue. This must be not be looked at in staccato or universally, but our population in segments. If we raised up regional wars (Russia-Ukraine/Israel-Hamas), Covid-19 then we are lost. Please don't treat Singaporeans as idiots (and I don't mean you Mr Pritam), we need to find multi solutions to ease the pain, but not hand out, don't be lazy and don't look for quick fixes (and I don't mean you Mr Pritam). Instead of raising $1 to $3 why not 50 cents or 70 cents and reduce rental and other costs. There are ways to be helpful, moderate and successful but we don't need world class bullshit. We can restart co-op establishment to allow Singaporeans to purchase essentials at lower prices. The only group who has a "helicopter view" is the government and if they think its a waste of their time then they should just make it clear, so that the real Singaporeans can vote correctly i.e. vote for your team Mr Pritam. Frankly I'm tired of listening to arrogant people who are so high up there and just want to give Singaporeans a lecture on fundamentals of economy and the factors causing costs of living to increase. When I was a child wanton mee per bowl was 30 cents, today it's $4/-, mind you I'm still alive and well. If you tell me this is progress then I'm gullible to believe you at face value. LHL and his team forget the normal Singaporeans when they are millionaires and insulated from the rest of us. Singaporeans! , are you ready to restart Singapore please !
Definitely feel the pinch massive now. Kudos to WP for bringing this up in Parliament
Go on and kudos lah... ... talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk... ... I also can, you also can. I kudos you 1,000,000,000 times... ...
... you have any capability to clean up the mess?
If not... ... I no say anything you and everyone can also kudos me... ... no difference, isn't it? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... ...

We have to protect this man at all cost
Did the Christians protect Jesus when he was being crucified?
We need to vote for more opposition members into Parliament. My estate is under SMC so it will be easy to vote them in
HappylyMerrylyGreatlySincerelyOfSingaporeLivingHood byMrPritamSingh 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We better have more opposition parties to work together to really care for the people of SG. I kept seeing the increase in prices everywhere even at NTUC kopitam, yet ten percent discount is not for every menu unlike the old kopitam whether it is promotional items or not. It is across the board.
how hard those low income earners to support their aged parents and housing those rich MP need hv a mindset changes to change policies
They would rather increase their own pay and salaries first. The meaning of being the imperial masters of Singapore is totally lost on a group of people who despite a good Western education are now acting like heartless mandarins who continue to increase salt taxes to rub the salt in.
Singapore 🇸🇬 has become a *loud Chinese mouthpiece* as a result of its lax on the Chinese regime's influence on Chinese Singaporeans.
- This is an existential problem.
As usual, nothing will come out of this. I would say that there are many concerned and disgruntled Singaporeans in the last 10-15 years.
I guess it’s very hard for the high n mighty salaried ministers to stay relevant to the middle & lower income especially when renting GCB @5 figure monthly while saying HDB is affordable ..
We have not even checked their overseas assets yet. Why do you think they are pushing the law to allow President and ministers to hold positions in foreign organisations - to justify their humongous overseas assets?

Any attempt to set up an independent mechanism outside the Government is doomed to failure as long as the PAP have absolute control of Parliament and the executive. It will just be wayang, quickly captured like every other institution in Singapore by LHL and his family which will ensure that the appointees are people closely connected to him.
😂😂😂 vote WP also useless lah! Only fools vote WP! WP have no sincerity to help Singaporeans, that why WP want to contest only 30% of seat after so many yearssss in politics 😂😂😂 LKY take over government within one election ! I stay with my kid in HK and tour china. My properties are rented out. Hope PAP bring in more FT😂
There won't be a country soon when even how low the reserves are and Ho Ching's salaries and pay remain state secret. The state of Lee of course.
The PAP has made Singapore to become a TOTAL business centre for those of their interests, and this will continue as long the majority Slaves who does not know even they are, supports them, until the day PAP becomes so powerful enough to destroy itself within. Beyond this, forget about Parliament, Oppositions, etc, the amount of crap and rubbish generated for drama and entertainment only.
Just like how 38 Oxley is in tatters now.
😊Nowadays it's workers party who stand with the common everyday Singaporeans by now while pap are living in an alternate reality focusing on themselves and the super rich residents they have invited into Singapore. Pap always announce and introduce price increase in Singapore.
To the point that now Singaporeans who are a part of South East Asia are now paying developed European living cost without the gold European standard in life.
WP also wants u to take the mRNA shots.
So ppl suffer nvrmnd lah is it as long as got name.
One of the riches country ah
Sporeans don need tat name lah..pls lah
I think you HIGHLY overestimate the "gold European standard in life." It's not that special, and Singapore's is far better overall.
Elaborate how Singapore is better then. Go on. Give it a try. See how many Singaporeans can be persuaded by you then.
Free education, healthcare,better food and meats than Singapore,four seasons and freehold etc.
You are just brainwashed by Singapore dogmas and social conditioning that's all.
The only way to hold the Government accountable is to elect more Opposition MPs, who will not succumb to pressure and don’t go around praising the PAP, saying they should continue in power for the next 50 years and offering to keep them there should the PAP, heaven forbid, lose their majority like Pritam Singh offered to do a few years back.
Not for all Opposition parties. I think a number of Singaporeans would only vote for parties like WP and PSP . The rest of the parties is a waste of time and resources
In which world has PAP ever proclaimed they should remain in power for the next 50 years?
Ur right
@@M2390s👍🏽
Half the size of the economy is sustained by low-income locals and foreigners. Even haircutting has also become a low-income industry that provides jobs for foreigners such as Malaysians. Every day, under the sun and rain, Singaporeans doing Grab food delivery are competing with Malaysians and other foreigners to earn that S$2500 monthly income.
How about the other half of the economy?
Singapore's GDP per capita (IMF):
2005: US$30,000
2020: US$60,000 (doubled in 15 years)
2023: US$90,000 (grew another US$30k in 3 years)
Singapore is a global financial (money laundering) hub. The other half of the economy is sustained by HOT MONEY.
Now you know why HDB 4-rm flats are S$500,000 and above?
Now you know why 3-bdrm 1000 sqft condos are S$2 million?
Now you know why the rise of COE prices cannot be slowed down?
Now you know why the living cost is so high?
Naive, if you think towkays can afford to pay you high wages and salaries in order for you to live expensively.
Ha ha ha!
fake news!
if policies are not change why should we vote them in

*The time to grow tapiocas and sweet potatoes has returned.*
No joke. Just recently i was trying to research how we can grow potatoes outside our homes. Apparently my neighbour tried a few experiments but still fail. Looking for those who successfully grow potatoes because someday it will be very beneficial
Good move by Pritam ...time our government do something to reduce cost of living

Straight to the point - imported inflation. How to be sustainable - Energy, Water, Food and productions.
Wrong.
It is folly of the top and those supporting and supporting through ignorance as cattle are.
And oh... ... the costs are up, and...
...your leases are coming to an end... ... soon, isn't it? Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee... ...
Have fun.
Meanwhile, each minister is getting paid millions of dollars.
well done WP for speaking up for Sporeans. our highly paid PAP leaders hv lost their way and can't relate with living costs n pressures of average Sporeans!
Change policies to reduce government civil servants especially those highly paid categories like the ministers n president thou we only have small land n population n no natural disasters yet their salary are much higher America President that those bigger land n population country where they have natural disasters . We keep bragging we are first world class country yet we have seniors selling tissue paper at train stations n walkways worst some are on wheelchair .
Last thing we need is a Central Bank chief who reads the headline inflation figure to tell the country that inflation is under control. Do we even spend money on the same items first thing in the morning, everyday? How about cutting GST and raising corporate and personal tax from higher income earners as an alternative? Also a good time to raise tax applicable to foreign workers , or from a flat rate to a progressive one?
😂 vote WP also useless lah! Only fools vote WP! WP have no sincerity to help Singaporeans, that why WP want to contest only 30% of seat after so many yearssss in politics 😂😂😂 LKY take over government within one election !
I support Pritam! He is a people's leader.
If the government doesn’t do something about this , we will find ourselves in the same situation as Canada
The pap did not need an influx of cheaper foreigners to steal their lunch.
Pap: sinkies can jolly well flock to jb. Where gotch high costs?
The “inbreeding of ideas” within PAP has produced “defective policies” for Singapore in the last 15 years, resulting in “a malformed economy”, said Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan. “The autocratic effort of keeping the political bloodline pure within the PAP has produced a society unable to respond to changes and begun the slow but certain undoing of this country,” he added.
What's stopping you from contributing?
百万部长， 不过如此。什么问题也解决不了。
We should have more opposition voices in the house
It’s not just the low or middle income struggling
PAP....Good point Pritam. GST will go up by 1 percent next year.
The significance of PM Lee’s speech lies in its celebratory recount of past victories and the subtext-the need for the PAP to evolve. The question that remains is whether the PAP will continue to resort to hardline measures like the ISA to protect its interest or will it embrace a more open political contest as a hallmark of Singapore’s progress?
PAP, why not solve the high cost of living first. Housing and car are so ridiculously expensive. Young couples cannot afford living in Singapore. People immigrate to other countries where one can afford big car and house. Furthermore, Singapore flat/house and land are not yours as majority of properties are 99 years leasehold which is ridiculous. Thus more than 80 percent of people in Singapore are renting and not home owners.
More than 80% are renting? What are you smoking 😂
how can you relate when your salary is 1,000,000 a year?
Facts and figures do not lie! A strong statement.
The double standard is on the pap not the opposition side most of the time
You People are the ones trying make the opposition sound as bad as possible or fit your agenda of getting rid of them from parliament if WP getting elected in 2011 is so bad when it is only one GRC they lost that Is democracy if they win, the GRC system isn’t something the opposition can win through so easily
More opposition winning is a good thing for the people and the country cause pap got enough power already
After so many years, what have the pap, Lee and Tharman done for normal or given Singaporeans?
Nothing even at all.
the cost increase is so huge that,salary do not increase that fast
Nothing will change. Mark my words.
I notice that, it is not only rising price of food, but hawkers are cutting the portion in each package of food, whether it is chicken rice or economic rice.
Not sure if it’s brought up before but the cut off amount that’s taxable in personal income tax should also be raised to be in line with inflation or current standard of living. Those citizens who are considered as middle income NOW and have to pay tax in the current system would be relieved of this burden. This relieved from tax combining the assistance that the government would be more useful for newly “demoted” middle income group and the lower income group.
The PCI which measures each family income whether assistance would be given to them be it school fees or others should also be raised…again is for those newly”demoted” middle income group to lower income group. It’s made worse for the newly “demoted” middle income group because they might end up not to the lower income group but half way in between which made them not qualifying for assistance from government.
Singapore seems to be on the cusp of general poverty. This is the result allowing the gap between the have and have not to widen over the years.
Opposition should form an Alliance Group, so no need to ask PAP for leftoversthat fall from the tables.😮
I don't think so. Look at the quality of the rest of the candidates . I think the only alliance that may do well if only PSP and WP formed an alliance . The rest waste time and resources
Only WP has the qualities... Other so-called opposition parties are stupid parties 😂
@@sgfuture7114 agree.
Calling on all Singaporeans to protest. Exert your democratic rights. You may protest anything. COLA, LGBTQ rights, Israel-Hamas conflict, cost of living crisis, Ridout Road saga, SI corruption probe, etc.
If WP ideas are so “populist” then why is bad when the opposition call for more help for the people, there is nothing wrong with the opposition is doing
Car washing with water at petrol station should be ban n at multi storey carpark these are the unforeseen that water consumption increases unnecessarily. Those who want wash cars carry pail n not spray water like nothing happen.
Talk is useless ! Just VTO PAP ! 👍
worthless party ps talking rubbish wasting the precious parliament time. All he wanted is political point scoring!!!
All that the PAP members said were to justify the rising cost of living rather than genuinely trying to solve the living cost crisis.
If not Gov can give you the lower family one month $300
Go JB lor.
Is Pritam argument taken seriously? Politically opposition stance is viewed as passive without bite. As opposition leader a call for referendum to demand govt reduced the numerous indirect taxes the culprit of high cost of living. Further cAll for transparency of GIC investment results to show profits that can be used to cover for global increase cost of living.
Since the PAP members are adamantly refuses to genuinely reduce the living cost, I believe we the electorates should know what to do in the next General Elections.
Best speech. Opposition ❤
PS talks with sense. The whites talk from the prespectives of $ n what they see is gd or inline with their "own" policy or judgements.. nvr wrong. So ironic. 🤔
Pritam For PM
Can PS care to share how much his multitier water pricing will save the low-income family? I bet it will be hardly any!!!
A good question but no parties could answer it as it is formulated and being done by a group of people who work under one of the Ministries . The Ministries then report their findings to the Government who endorses
Yes the gov should and must review its policies as it is main cause for the rising cost of living crisis.
Nothing will change no matter what the oppositions say simply because the PAP holds majority of the seats in parliament.
i think we have to start expanding outwards towards southern islands
I love Pritam Singh... my next PM
The answer is simple please vote out the Govt
The daddy US keeps printing green paper, and SG has to follow daddy on most of its sanctions, what to do?
Take care guys ..Seasons Greetings as usual❤❤❤❤❤
Well said

looking at the opp supporters comments is laughable...your wp has not desire to be in-charge, no intention to be the govt, just want to talk big and criticise for the sick of criticising. If they think PAP is incompetence, replace them
What is His proposal to lower the cost ?
This proves we had voted for the right candidate for president
