Manifesto for a pro Singaporean political party

Every political party claims to be there to serve the people and the people’s interests when voted to power. How many really live to these ideals when the votes were casted? I have listed a few things that I would like a pro Singaporean political party to stand for and live by it and be deserving of the people’s votes.

1. Priority housing for all Singaporeans. No stupid rules to rule out any Singaporean. This is our country and this is our home and the land belongs to the citizens. Citizens must have the first right of refusal to public housing. If there is enough land to build for foreigners, there is no reason why citizens should be deprived of public housing.

2. Tax payers’ money must be mainly used to benefit Singaporeans and their children. Not to benefit foreigners who have no stakes here. A little charity is acceptable but nothing extravagant.

3. Licence for small business must give priorities to Singaporeans. Some small businesses should be for citizens only. Foreigners are here to work for Singaporeans not to compete with citizens in small businesses. Big businesses are a different proposition.

4. Hospitals and medical services must be nationalized to serve the people, not to profit from the people. There is no amount of value that can be pegged to life and physical well being. It must be the responsibility of the state to provide cost effective medical services.

5. Land is really scarce and landed properties must not be sold off to foreigners freely.

6. Political offices, appointments in govt and stats boards must give priority to citizens especially senior positions. Unless there are specialized skills involved that no Singaporean is available, senior appointments must be given to Singaporeans. New citizens must be qualified by a time criteria. New citizens should not be an escape clause to by pass Singaporeans for top jobs. PRs are not citizens.

7. Citizenship must not be given freely like worthless rubbish.

8. The population of 5m is just about right and should not be allowed to grow rampantly to crazy numbers like 6m or more.

9. Pledge to implement policies that favour citizens and not to disadvantage citizens.

10. CPF money must be returned to the citizens at 60. CPF may offer incentives to attract people to leave their money with the board but must be strictly voluntary.

RB,
Hehe.. Great if it ever happens.... Tan ku ku..

RB has to write such policy and people accusing it bankrupting Singapore clearly manifest our wretch state of mind.

For countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, UAE, Qatar, Iceland...etc, such manifesto is their birth right.

We are being brainwash by PAP that sinkies must starve to give everything to foreigners.

Poor sinkies.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Yes, right on Veritas. In Switzerland, you want to bring down a house or build a new house you may have to get the consent of the whole village or town. That is people's right to what they think is good for them. Not what the govt think is good for them.

And that is the kind of quality of life we dream on and aspire to be. Maybe all a wet dream and no one is talking about it anymore.

Redbean, you are still neglecting the truism :

The people get the government, and thus the government policies, it deserves.
