CSJ does not buy PAP rhetoric.
12 hrs ·
The PAP has sent out an e-newsletter underlining its concerns about the rising cost of living in Singapore. In it, the party says that the Government “will not hesitate to roll out more help if the situation worsens.”
It points out the issue of global supply chain but omits mentioning those three ineluctable letters: 'G', 'S' and 'T'.
In the coming months, its MPs will talk about helping citizens, in particular hawkers, to cope with rising costs. But if history is any indication, the MPs will perform breath-taking feats of human logic contortion previously thought impossible to justify the unjustifiable.
Rub away the rhetoric and it comes down to this: At this time when the cost of living, by its own admission, is escalating, the PAP will mati-mati insist on raising the GST to 9%.
For our part, the SDP will continue our fight to stop the PAP from inflicting more pain on the people, as we have done in the last GE. It is not too late to stop the GST hike next year.
