Wijeysingha to deliver SDP's Alternative Budget 2011
Friday, 11 February 2011
Singapore Democrats

Dr Vincent Wijeysingha will deliver the alternative to the Government's Budget next week. He will present the Singapore Democrats' financial plan for Singapore for FY2011 as a counter to the PAP's budget proposals.

Such an effort is unprecedented in Singapore's political history. Never before has an opposition party put up a budget to rival the PAP's. We do this because the Government's Budget has in past years glossed over the real problems of Singapore's economy and the needs of the people.


An alternative budget is needed to show the people how our national problems can be addressed through proper prioritization of our needs and prudent allocation of our financial resources.

To be launched next week, Alternative Budget 2011 will highlight the weaknesses of the PAP's approach, citing past budgets where the Government has mis-prioritized the needs of the populace.

Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam will present the Government's Budget in Parliament next Friday, 18 Feb 11.

With the elections looming it is certain that this year's Budget will be gimmicky with lots of giveaways. Whether Singaporeans really benefit from such measures is another matter. Despite all the fancily named financial packages and incentives, working Singaporeans continued to see their real incomes diminish even as living costs escalate. This has led to a widening income gap, resulting in significant social and economic problems for the people.

The Singapore Democrats' alternative budget aims at tackling the root cause of these problems and our expenditure allocation will seek to redress the imbalances created by the PAP.

Dr Wijeysingha will present a realistic budget proposal without all the bells and whistles that the PAP uses to distract the people from the real problems especially in an election year. The SDP's alternative will provide genuine solutions that will tackle the immediate needs of Singaporeans as well as address longer-term economic issues of our nation.

This is truly unprecedented. SDP got the potential to make it big. They got to be less confrontational however, if not they risk lawsuit or arrests.

 

[Balllessme]

Good... let compare the two budgets and see how diff can it be...

But If the Opposition's proposal is weak, will somehow undermine the potential strength for the coming Erection...

If Gaferment one is weak.... No one dare to speak out anyway....

..

PAP budget? You can forget it. PAP budget only caters for the MNCs who require endless supply of cheap labour. What policies in recent years have really benefited locals?

Been thinking about it after reading your reply.....

NONE!!

 

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

SDP is naughty !

SDP will present its alternative budget just before the Government releases its own budget. Any similarities the PAP will be seen as 'copying' SDP's budget. Any difference, PAP will not have enough time to amend its own budget.

I can really see an invisible hand molding the SDP; they must have been receiving some serious coaching from some foreign experts. Now they seem to be ahead in almost every move.

you dumb ass.

GST is here to help the poor.

the last increase was in 2007, when it will increase to 20%, 30% or higher to help the locals more...

 

[Unrepented]

This attempt will help tarnish the image of all opps parties in the mind of sinkies and alienate the voters.

Pappy will have a field day wacking the budget left right center. Sinkies will form the impression that opps are childish and incompetent. Given the risk adversion of sinkies, its bye bye to all opps at least for the foreseeable future.

Before learn the fly, for starters just try telling the voters.... how much is the worth of our financial resources as quoted in your writeup? Do you know what are the components etc etc.?

Without basic information for projection and planning, the budget is a piece of toilet paper, and it will be perceived as such.

Sad strategy.......for opps, but a good and supportive one for pappies

Wrong. Budget is goodies giving. Sucking back more is outside the budget.

Another SDP antic again. Of all alternatives, they have to give an alternative to a sweetener. Other opposition parties are telling the people to bite the sweetener and vote against them, which is a more viable alternative and takes less effort. Of course, except GMS who wanted housing grants scrapped.

You're right. SDP is pure crap trying to lose election and cause confusion among opposition. I'm warming up to Yaw Shin Leong voting for PAP against SDP, that's right man! Vote against craps like that. They have no wish to win seats and speak for you. Might as well vote for PAP. At least $1 out gets 80c change back. Vote for craps like SDP and NSP and they'll still lose, but maintaining deposit-retaining percentage keeps them coming back again to cause more confusion. My stand is, vote for WP if WP contest my ward or PAP if others contest. Weed out those craps.

There are goodies all right -- for the MNCs. The working poor and the lower-middle income class? Can forget it.

SDP has to point out where the budget is defective. As I recall even Chiam and Low also criticized the budget in previous years for failing in certain respects.

Must always keep the criticism on PAP and not let them get away with painting the budget as something Godsend.

SDP need to show they know how to run a SMC before talk about National Budget. The general public would not be impressed. In fact, they would wonder if SDP is trying to act smart or what.
