Mr Singh was "especially distraught" about the CECA arrangement in Singapore. He told Jamus that "the deal has been unfair for Singaporean workers, and has led to both a flood of Indian nationals, alongside a loss of local opportunities".

It is so funny because even Facebook knows that FAP is IB page and is "inauthentic" and is not a true representation of the voice of ordinary Singaporeans. Basically Facebook has called the bullshit on FAP.

The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has proposed various programmes like RESTART (Re-Employment Scheme and Temporary Assistance for the ReTrenched), RISE (Retirement Income Scheme for the Elderly), and other healthcare plan and housing policies for the benefit of the people. These policies and programmes may be especially essential for a post-Covid19 era. However these policies have been accused of being not affordable, with online counterarguments such as "Where is the money going to come from?". The SDP has recently addressed this funding issue with various concrete examples.

SDP's Damanhuri Bin Abas thinks the PAP has racist policies and asked people to stop blaming the Hong Lim Park protest organisers for having double-standards. He believes race issues must be debated openly.

Opposition politician Ang Yong Guan questions the government's policies and thinks citizens will not tolerate changes to the elected Presidency. Is it right for them to push through with unpopular policies? Do you think they are well aware of what our people need?

As the year draws to a close, it is a good time to take stock and prepare for challenges in the coming year and beyond. Shared my thoughts at the PAP Party Conference this morning. Major changes are taking place in the world. They impact not just individual countries, but also the wider international order that Singapore depends on. Developed countries are turning inward, and becoming more nativist and protectionist. This trend will have serious consequences for small, open countries like Singapore.

Blaming the Opposition is such a convenient excuse because it cuts brain activities. What policies? Who cares about policies isn't it? I find Singapore's level of ignorance at a dangerous low because we do not have an independent and neutral media that promotes critical analysis. I have always maintained that people who read States Times Review require a level of sophistication, otherwise, my articles are really not for you.

WP believes that the best way to integrate immigrants is through the family unit and not through importing foreign labour who have no roots in Singapore. Singaporeans with a non-citizen spouse often face disruptions to their family life which creates stress and anxiety for the child when they have to separate from one parent who is on a short-term visit pass. Giving foreign spouses priority for citizenship after 5 years on the long-term visit pass will help alleviate the situation for this group of people.

I attended MPS once and was told by one RC member that the MP always fork out time to meet the residents and "help" residents solve problems. One big question comes to my head. If the PAP policies are so good, why would there be so many residents/citizens need help from government?

Here are some ways to go local and really understand the day-to-day needs of an average Singaporean. If you are elected, live as them and see how quickly certain policies will change.
