SINGAPORE: Besides tangible achievements, the Workers’ Party believes that Singapore needs “positive changes” in the “intangible aspects”, party chair Sylvia Lim said on Thursday .

Singapore can also be a place where artists, writers, actors and other creatives “have the same respect and protections” as other developed nations, and where there is “press freedom far greater than our current ranking of 158th in the world”, she added. “Where places in schools are allocated fairly, rather than preferentially to those in committees run by PAP MPs and advisers,” Ms Lim added.

“The PAP would have you believe that having such an open and fair society with press freedom will cripple a Government’s ability to act quickly and firmly,” she said. “COVID-19 has shown that this is a false scare tactic.” READ: GE2020: PM Lee is offering voters a ‘false choice’, says WP chair Sylvia Lim in response to online Fullerton rally
