PAP MPs are now beginning to say the same thing. In the past, whether it is employing Singaporeans first, putting in place a minimum wage scheme, or adopting a universal healthcare system the SDP has been pushing the government towards policies that benefit ordinary Singaporeans.
We will do more of this in Parliament.
