The Reform Party’s May Day Message:
http://theonlinecitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/reform320240.jpgThe Reform Party wishes all Singaporean workers and their families a happy May Day 2010. We would like to take this opportunity to remind people that the Reform Party’s objective is to raise the living standards of all Singaporeans rather than just maximising the size of our GDP by allowing the import of foreign workers at Third World wage rates. The impact of these policies has been adverse for median real incomes, which have stagnated over the past decade and disastrous for those in the bottom 20% who have seen a fall in real incomes of the order of 20%.
The Reform Party has always emphasised productivity growth rather than GDP growth on its own as the key to higher living standards and pointed out Singapore’s abysmal record in this regard over the last decade. In the last Budget we forced an apparent U-turn by the PAP who made measures to improve productivity the cornerstone of the Budget. However with the fragile recovery in the US economy, as well as China’s switch to domestic demand-led expansion driven by enormous state-directed growth in bank lending, the emphasis on productivity seems to be being quietly forgotten in favour of a return to the old growth model fuelled by abundant supplies of cheap labour from abroad.
These are some of the policies the Reform Party would adopt, with the aim both of raising productivity and improving the position of our workers, when it is in government:
1. A minimum wage applicable to all workers except those in certain sectors, like domestic workers and possibly construction, where few Singaporeans work. This would force employers to use labour more productively and reduce the incentive to bring in foreign labour to replace Singaporeans
2. Allowing independent trade unions and removing some of the restrictions on industrial action provided appropriate democratic safeguards are in place to prevent damage to companies and the interests of the majority of workers caused by a small minority. The Reform Party believes that free trade unions and empowerment of the workforce are vital to raising productivity.
3. A tightening of the current very liberal foreign worker policy, particularly the S-pass, where the foreign workers compete directly with semi-skilled Singaporean workers for jobs. Requirement for employers to demonstrate that they are unable to get Singaporean workers at the prevailing wage rate rather than being able to sack their Singaporean workforce and bring in cheaper workers from abroad.
4. Anti-discrimination legislation to cover sex, race, and age discrimination.
5. Increased investment in education and training, particularly for workers laid off as a result of technological change and for women seeking to re-enter the labour force.
6. Introduction of limited paternity leave as well as greater rights to flexible working.
7. Tax rebates and other benefits for Singaporeans who have served NS on a much more substantial scale than the token amounts currently provided.
However without your help and support we will never get a chance to introduce policies that will directly benefit you and the majority of working Singaporeans. We will never even get seats in Parliament unless you vote for us. And you may not even get a chance to vote unless we get enough candidates and the donations necessary to finance them. The PAP would like you to believe that their expansion of the NCMP scheme will provide you with sufficient alternative voices in Parliament. However NCMPs are toothless and cannot vote on most matters of substance including the Budget. If you don’t want another ten years of income stagnation and being forced to take lower-skilled jobs or work part-time because of competition from cheaper, younger foreign workers (many of whose education has been subsidised by your taxes) who haven’t had to do NS or pay CPF contributions then you need to come forward now.

[ahbengsong]

singaporeans are a coward lot...... let the pap trample all over them.. and let the foreigners trample all over them... cowards dont deserve any respect at all...

 

[Sideswipe]

Please vote for oppositions party in your constituencies, I vote for PAP in my constituency.

 

[methink]

Please vote for oppositions party in your constituencies, I vote for PAP in my constituency.

With wayang betrayals such as this Yaw shin traitor, how to beat the pappies?

Might as well ask him to join the PAP!

 

[fivestars]

2006. I voted Ling How Tong SDP Chair.

We should support Dr Sun Yet Sen on the Singaporean Nationalism, the People Power and the Welfare and Good Livelihood system. The People Action Party who support One Dominant Party with NMP and NCMP is a copy system of the Communist Party of China which has One Dominant Party with the United Front.

At least Ah Leong had the decency to be upfront about voting PAP. Had he kept his mouth shut, no one would have known about his double standard. How many of these "gentlemen" or "moderate" opposition politicians are actually voting PAP, while asking Ah Beng to vote opposition?

It's not being honest, you have to question his EQ. A opposition politician telling peasants to vote for WP/Oppositions while he gave his precious vote to PAP.

Mr Yaw either was dumb or cannot tell a lie or the third reason which I think is most likely - he was trying to portray a image of a intellectual new age thinking politician who can vote against political loyalties if required.
He end up looking like a traitor to the opposition cause.

Please vote for our oppositions in whole of Singapore expect my constituency.

Amongst a small group of us involved in WP 06 campaign, YSL did tell us that he voted for TPH/PAP against LHD/SDP just a few days after counting night. We were somewhere between surprised and amused.

Anyway, his point was he opposed both PAP and SDP, and decided that he opposed SDP more instead of spoiling the vote. Well, that's his personal vote, he didn't have to tell anyone and the group of us who heard considered it confidential and spoke no more about it.

Then about a year or so on, he inexplicably went to blog publicly about it, even citing that he felt THP was "the better MP." Now we're neither surprised nor amused, we were stunned and baffled as to why he announced this, or as George Yeo and MFA would say, puzzled. Even THP himself was somewhere between being amused and puzzled. This caught the attention of some SDP members and supporters and of course they were infuriated and spread the wildfire, but who could blame them?

Then another year or so on, came the Town Council minibond losses. THP was (and still is) PAP TC Co-ordinating Chairman, came up with some general figures and murkily unreasurring reassurances that all's OK. PAP TCs would go on to increase SC&C anyway, but that has nothing to do with minibond losses. YSL then blogged to admit that it was his error of judgment, THP is not such a good MP as he thought afterall. Then another year or so on, came the Bukit Panjang wet market stall rental hikes by Sheng Siong. THP said that's private business. Nothing to do with him.

What is Ah Leong still doing in Worker's Party and in its CEC to boot? Surely LTK, SL and the other riff-raffs at WP must approve his voting PAP, else he would have been given the sack long ago.

Imagine Ah Leong in 2010/11/12 leading yet another WP team, perhaps even in AMK and telling gullible Ah Beng to vote for opposition. He'll look no less that the hypocrite he truly is.

I'm not sure that I agree with Mr Yaw, but I can see his point.
I think the point he's trying to make is that even among the opposition, there are parties and individuals he would give his vote to and parties and individuals he would not. It's not just because someone is an opposition party member, that he would automatically get his vote.
It's a fair point actually, as it may help to improve the standards of the opposition parties and ensure that they are working towards what the voters want and not going on their own tangents.

You mean "we" or "I"?

 

[Ramseth]

I mean "we", for even if you exclude yourself, there're more than two others. Of course, I don't mean "our" feelings and assessments to be unaminously shared across the board.

Check the Commissioner of Oath records. You'll find my name under Aljunied, Sylvia Lim. Actual works, sorry, no video. Small matters too, regrettably not much contribution. I helped last 4 days only. First 5 days on MC. In football terms they say, substitute only, non-starter.

Amazed should be more unanimously representative. Yes. Good English!

It's called dog whistling. It was meant for the PAP. He has now their blessings as a kosher politician.

A potential $200,000/year MP allowance and $1,000,000 in five years can help create wonders. It can turn "opposition" to "proposition", black to white, ball crushers to ball lickers, etc.

That is the reason why I say there is no point voting for all these PEP politicians and that you be better of voting for the PAP rather than these cheap Made-in-China imitations of them.
