Leong highlights the PSP’s commitment to proposing alternative policies aimed at improving public housing, job market fairness, and establishing a minimum living wage.
Netizen Julie O’Connor criticized Calvin Cheng’s approach to calling out Mr Leong and suggested that a more professional approach would be to sit down and discuss grievances with LMW
It is a reminder that the PAP is willing to bend its principles when it feels its hold on power slipping - whether it is about profligate spending or protection for workers.
Mothership, please monitor your comments here, the multiple account “martinxxxx” are always bot spamming in all Singapore videos (CNA, straitstimes, mothership), just ban those martin accounts. They are spewing rubbish and so annoying
As we approach the next General Election, it is important for Singaporeans to see through the political manoeuvring and recognize that these policy shifts are not born out of newfound compassion but out of a necessity to stay in power.
Leong Mun Wai PSP discusses the economic strains faced by Singaporeans in one of the world’s most expensive cities and criticizes the government’s current policies as insufficient, advocating for substantial policy changes.
Who is truly guilty of profligate spending here? The WP’s proposal is designed to be self-sustaining through contributions, while the PAP’s scheme draws directly from the state coffers, potentially leading to greater fiscal strain in the long term.
Despite the clear and forward-thinking nature of the WP’s proposal, the PAP dismissed the idea at the time, sticking to their principle of prioritizing job creation and upskilling over direct financial aid.
The PAP’s history of policy shifts in response to political pressure is well-documented. After losing its first Group Representation Constituency (GRC) to the Workers’ Party in 2011
Let’s not be fooled into thinking that the PAP has suddenly become more caring and consultative. This latest policy move is less about empathy and more about electoral strategy.
Surprisingly good discussion here esp from Calvin Cheng lol, good analyses and questions from all, instead of the overly sanitised type of analyses done by the usual political commentators. On raising TFR though, I think it requires a drastic shift in the culture of society from one which prioritises material achievement and accumulation to one which emphasises more on work-life balance, holistic health, etc. No one wants to give birth to a child knowing that the child would end up being another cog in the machine of a hypercapitalistic society (which is in most developed nations esp felt in Sg with having to keep up with tuition fees from a young age, etc). The question then is how Singapore can navigate this new type of culture and still thrive as a country with a strong workforce - I think it's possible with innovation and as the culture globally changes as well (ILO has recommended flexible work arrangements, etc). I disagree with overreliance on immigration, in the short term it seems to solve the problem, but in the long-term it just looks like a country with no unique identity to build on, which is associated with loyalty to country and so on. Notice how countries with largely homogenous societies have built the deepest and most beautiful cultures (Japan, China, etc). We dont want Singapore to simply become a "temporary station" for people to stop-over and leave when there is no longer any utility felt by either the government or the people.
The $6000 is wasting time for training funds, i think the take up will be very low. Most people unemployed can find job within 6 mths to 1 year, they will be searching than retraining. The $6000 is better to cover the voluntary unemployed so they will take the training and come out to society. They have resume gaps and are stuck and afraid to come out.
Good grief @Mothership! You mean you cant find anyone better to talk to aside from this CalvinCheng joker?! And he has to wear a TShirt bearing his name?! You just lost all your credibility man! 🤢

We must not just talk about success and money but really help the poor disabled and disadvantaged n under privileged

PAP change policies for their own benefit
Calvin Cheng also expressed his confidence that he is smarter and more capable than Mr Leong, “I am coming for you”. This is a threat
Calvin Cheng is just a CLOWN
Shut up Martin. Bloody bot
CALVIN Cheng can put his rubbish bias opinions down the rubbish bin HIRO
Defending someone as handsome isn’t a defence

Calvin Cheng being handsome doesn’t mean his opinions are correct
We must find solutions for every problem

Compassion should be taught as a subject in schools

Unseen problems should be addressed too

Most of them are what opposition previously proposed. Pappies just copy paste and slightly modify. Nothing new or innovative.
We need to b comprehensive
Can you remove the comments from the Martin bots so that we can see discussions from real people…
