In line with its commitment to push for the abolishment of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), People’s Voice Party (PV) has initiated the #AbolishCECA campaign.
Highlighting that #AbolishCECA is a non-partisan project, PV in a statement on Wednesday (26 August) said that the campaign kicks off at 8pm tonight.
An online petition will be published on PV’s Facebook page, which will be supplemented by physical gatherings across Singapore over the next few weeks for those interested in signing the petition in person.
PV chief Lim Tean will also be putting up a video on the campaign on Sunday (30 August) on YouTube and Facebook.
In a Facebook post today, Mr Lim called on members of the public to sign up as volunteers “regardless of political affiliation”.
“#AbolishCECA. Sign the petition simply by typing your name in the comment section to this post.
“We will deliver the petition to Parliament in 4 weeks. Will you join us?” he wrote.
CECA, or the India-Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement in full, is a free trade agreement between Singapore and India signed around 15 years ago.
The agreement facilitates freer movement of Indian national professionals in sectors such as technology, medicine, engineering and finance into Singapore. Double taxation and tariff barriers are lifted under CECA.

Disqualify all male new citizens who never served NS from Parliament !
DON'T CRY FOR ME, AH TEO-BAY-PIO
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window,
staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Ah Teo Bay Pio
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Ah Teo-Bay-Pio
Don't cry for me Ah Teo-Bay-Pio
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true .....
Dedicated to All Ministers who cried in Public to the whole world shamelessly.

CECA is a time-bomb that will explode right in the faces of PAP leaders. If they are smart and still able to control their greed, they should heed the People's Calls. They should abolish it now. Enough serious damages have been done but it is not too late to abolish it.
There is a way out of this stupid entanglement. There is a clause at the end of the Agreement documents that say either party can terminate the agreement by giving six months notice.
If PAP leaders still remain stubborn, stupid due to greed, then this CECA issue will soon explode and it will become the cause of the PAP's demise.
Cunning India refuses to join RCEP because it can make use of CECA to tap onto RCEP by using Singapore as an indirect route to benefit from RCEP without having to reciprocate to the other member countries of RCEP.
Singapore as a member of RCEP should not be entangled in this unfair CECA Deal any more.
Better to abolish it now, using COVID-19 as a very good excuse to revamp nd re-adjust our whole economy comprehensively and thoroughly.
Tell India's cunning Modi that we need to revamp and re-align our economy as a result of the devastation caused by the Pandemic. There is nothing to fear India not agree.
Give six months notice to India to terminate the CECA agreement now!
If you delay, it will only become more difficult to terminate this unfair deal.
Think of Singaporeans for goodness sake! Millionaire Ministers!
Be grateful that your millionaire status came from Singaporean voters!
Mr SSO
MOM and their cohorts are marking and gambling now on the expired times of all these Talents S or Asses or Arses and Employment Passes.
They can simply give the six months notice but would be accused by Moody or Modi that they are not to be trusted anymore on International Agreements.
They still want to keep their Reputation and Namesakes.
Thus, when these trashes passes expired, they would NOT renew them further and also be more stringent in monitoring their employments hirings.
This is the game they playing now.
Hopefully, Sinkies joblessness casualties are not so severe by then
Time To Terminate CECA Is NOW!
1. Terminate the CECA and renegotiate a new purely trade agreement with India on a fair basis.
2. Exclude the exchange of talents/professionals. cloud the new agreement solely on trade and investments - a free trade agreement not a free flow of personal agreement.
3. Playing with the approval and termination of their EP and SP is stupid. Because the clause clearly stated that Singapore has to approve whatever transfers come from India. If not, India can sue Singapore government. It even include the dependents of the India's natural citizens.
4. As long as the CECA is not terminated, Singapore is legally binded to honour whatever that are stated in the CECA documents signed by both countries PMs.
5. Cunning Modi has already threatened Singapore leaders twice regarding this CECA thingy, once openly and once on the sideline.
6. Singapore must get our of this legal entanglement at the earliest time. This is the ripe time.
7. The COVID-19 PANDEMIC provides the opportunity to remedy our mistakes!
Singapore got so many top Indian lawyers to fight them in court. Don't be scared.
