CSJ takes pains to offer solutions. 
I came across this report from a website called Goody Feed regarding the SDP’s views about Mr Lawrence Wong becoming the PAP’s potential leader. https://goodyfeed.com/sdp-congratulate-lawrence-wong/
While the report was straightforward, what caught my eye was this bit:
“But it’s important to state that while the opposition parties have always been great at pointing out the inherent flaws within PAP or its government policies, they’ve scarcely offered solutions, and thereby reasons, why they might be a better representation of Singapore.”
If any opposition party has taken pains to offer solutions, it is the SDP. We have written policy papers – a whole series of them proposing detailed and comprehensive plans from healthcare to climate change to population growth, and everything in between – to take Singapore forward.
You can follow the links and read them here https://yoursdp.org/policy/.
We have spoken on them, made videos on them, campaigned on them since 2010 including two GEs.
In fact, the PAP has followed many of our ideas and implemented them. I’ve highlighted examples on this FB and in the SDP website. A few examples below – all in just Feb/Mar this year:
Education: https://www.facebook.com/cheesoonjuan/posts/496501635179446
Foreign talent: https://www.facebook.com/cheesoonjuan/posts/493572022139074
Wealth tax: https://www.facebook.com/cheesoonjuan/posts/487188526110757
Goody Feed’s view of opposition parties merely criticising the PAP while not offering solutions is an unfortunate stereotype that does a disservice to all who strive to promote democracy in this country.
While I encourage online news sites to report on political developments in Singapore (goodness knows we need more, not less, of it), I hope that such inaccurate observations are corrected and not perpetuated. Singaporeans need to be better informed about the opposition.
