SINGAPORE — Seven political parties took to national television on Thursday to broadcast their campaign manifestos to the public, in the first of two party political broadcasts scheduled for this General Election .
“It is our responsibility to choose a government, which has the ability to find solutions for the challenges we are facing and at the same time accountable to Singaporeans,” said Spencer Ng, NSP candidate for Sembawang GRC. It is thereby advocating a freeze of all S-Passes and a dramatic reduction in the number of the Employment Passes.
“Trust the PAP? Trust doesn't come from what you say, it comes from what you do,” said secretary-general Chee Soon Juan, who is running for Bukit Batok single member constituency. “We have seen from the experiences of other countries that power can fall into the wrong hands. The PAP is not immune to such a risk. PAP self-checking can fail. If the wrong people show their true colours only after reaching our highest offices, Singapore is finished.”
Progress Singapore PartyThe Progress Singapore Party has urged Singaporeans to vote for transparency, accountability and independence by voting for the party. With the government spending billions of reserves on post-COVID-19 recovery measures, Dr Tan asked who will check how the money is spent, if the PAP dominates Parliament. He said that the government is already struggling for answers during the COVID-19 crisis, as seen by the “explosion of dormitory cases” in April.
