Workers Party’s Performance is disappointing!
Read this please !
WP is a silent party
If you read SDP website, you realize this party is moving the right direction except Dr Chee and friends must fight real hard to win trust and confidence and of course, winning votes to sit in the parliament.
People who are willing to give SDP a chance would certainly egg SDP on ---win next GE! Focus on the voters and the toi-let reality they are facing. Hope SDP could win a GRC next GE !
Let’s talk about WP.
What have these WP MPs and NCMPs done at the parliament and on the ground?
Do arguing on Dirty Hawker Center saga and organized event without approval see honor ? Do all these trivial issues benefit the voters? How could going to court prove anything to a common man in the streets ? If WP MPs visit Blk 520 Hougang Ave 6 , a broken lighted sign at the entrance (above the canal ) and the very dirty walls of low -rise flats and the unsightly bin centre (outside bin centre)behind Block 521, they would know that what is the priority running town council when comes to maintenance and cleanliness.
You know, winning votes is when you have a place in the parliament, you ask questions and then you propose and suggest opinions to the house good for the people and country. Whether the parliament accepts or sneers at your ideas is no more an issue, what matters is the voters who hear or read your ideas good for them that counts, you win votes during this process.
In short, you win votes before the GE; you lock votes during GE hustings. So don’t think that only at the GE rallies, you win votes because those crowds are your supporters. Those do not support you are not your audiences. You don’t wait till GE to win votes; WP MPs have to speak up for the people now and then before the GE if you want to help the Singaporeans period.
Real ground issues are many, we just talk a few . There is no defamation or personal issues link to them, just speak up for the people so your party can expand your territory. There is no need for clever conversation, just simple-man talk if you WP MPs are no good in policies making.
•Cost of living, people complain because when income is spent more on housing loans and other necessities, you left too little to find happiness. There are so many issues regarding this and yet WP MPs are not talking.
•CPF. This vehicle was good before it turns bad. WP MPs can suggest Govt tops up ordinary account every month for all citizens for retirement if PAP refuses to set up another retirement network because most Ordinary account monies are used to defrayed housing loans. There are so many things related to CPF. Why no wind and no sound?
•NS . Male Singaporeans serve the NS with very little salaries and do the reservist training for so many years. WP MPs can suggest that NS to be curtailed to 1.5 years and RT to 5 years. On top of these sickening issues, reduce number of days for RT because the employers are not happy. This bad NS practice drives bosses to hire foreign workers. And this is not fair to male Singaporeans . When you WP MPs speak up this NS issue, you win the young votes , most of them. Why are you not doing because male Singaporeans are suffering under this cruelty and slavery ? Help those who voted for you people into the parliament!
•Minister salaries—suggest an amount close to $50, 000 for PM and lesser for Ministers. This would mean Singapore could cut cost and life can be better for Singaporeans. For example—when crude oil price drops 50% , pump price should also drop , PUB bills should drop either! Another thing, you can suggest PM should elected by the people and do away the PE ! Don’t you WP MPs see what is coming at you when you speak from the heart ?Elected PM will work for the people but appointed Pm will work for himself ! First world country entails a first world salary for all citizens !
•Healthcare—those elderly above 80 should be given automatic free medishield coverage or free healthcare when they are hospitalized up to 3 months. There are simply too many to talk about .
•Transport ---MRT is like a steam locomotive on the rail track without traffic lights. You know from east to west merely 30 KM takes more than an hour , you laugh when you sit the rapid train somewhere else. But why the price to sit MRT is so high for young and old? May be WP MPs are all driving new cars ! Transport is part of living cost, we need some voices to bring it down.
•Temasek and GIC ---this is an intelligent subject but WP MPs need not go into details , You see, Singapore has no natural resources, money is everything in life in Singapore, without which , Singapore sinks and stinks ! Putting this two public investment arms under the Ministry of finance open a new phase would mean good for Singaporeans and the country. What belongs to people and country should return to the right place. Right ? Check and balance requires this simple courage . You only suggest and let the people decide, this time , you can really let the people decide .
•Defence budget ---12 billion per year is no small-man issue. Building a good defence is circumspect but if the budget is sky high, people suffer. Being pacifist and a smart nation can cut down this astronomical money THAT in turn benefitting the whole nation . Why WP MPs are not talking ?
The list is endless, certainly WP MPs cannot be carried away in the fairy-tale economy and hope for Durian votes every GE. If PAP MPs prefer to be yesmen, so be it .
Can you imagine the voters voted for PAP people to get high salaries and free healthcare , and live in opulent houses , did WP MPs tell the voters about this or you prefer to quarrel with PAP people on ants and rats eating up the leftover at hawker centers ? Who makes a Govt ? Silent is not all the time golden . MOST SINGAPOREANS LIVE FROM HAND TO MOUTH, PAYCHECKS TO PAYCHECKS ! We ask ourselves , what is good when living cost is artificially shooting up like nobody business for the sake of those in the ivory tower .
Singapore is going to the dogs, and people need your relevant voice at the parliament.
You know, to many people, WP is like a hope FOR THEM TO SEE A BETTER , a LESS COSTLY and A HAPPIER LIFE.
Workers Party , please speak up, help Singaporeans and Singapore.
