SINGAPORE: The ruling People's Action Party's wide-ranging manifesto has spelt out several plans to achieve the key objective of ensuring that growth benefits all citizens.
To achieve higher incomes for all, the PAP said it will create fulfilling jobs and opportunities for everyone to progress, including the lower and middle income groups. This, through a diverse and innovative economy that will enable Singapore to overcome the competitive challenges ahead.
It will also work with unions and firms to raise productivity and upgrade jobs in every line of work so that all workers can raise their skills and earn more.
Improving the lives of lower-income Singaporeans is another key objective of the PAP.
It said every citizen will share in the country's progress and the government is doing more to help lower-income Singaporeans to uplift themselves and to encourage their children to discover their strengths and do well. That is where bringing out the best in every child is key, said the PAP.
For this, it will create one of the best education systems in the world, giving Singaporeans of diverse abilities and interests, the paths to develop themselves to the fullest.
The PAP also wants to involve all Singaporeans in shaping the future. So it will enhance channels for public participation and feedback to encourage fresh and diverse ideas and to build a broad based consensus on key national issues.
The Party will also strive to deepen the trust among the different races and religions and strengthen the common identity with each new generation of Singaporeans.
