SINGAPORE: The Workers’ Party (WP) on Sunday (Jun 27) launched its 2020 General Election manifesto, with proposals to tackle the problems brought ...

The title of the party manifesto - Make Your Vote Count - is also the WP's election slogan.Introducing the manifesto and slogan, Mr Singh said: “The slogan calls into focus the overwhelming parliamentary super-majority held by the People's Action Party . There's a real risk of a wipeout of elected opposition MPs with 100 per cent of the elected seats in PAP hands at these general elections.

The manifesto questioned whether the Government’s earlier advice for people not to wear face masks unless they were feeling unwell was driven “more by concerns about a shortage of masks”. HDB public rent should be forgiven until all forms of lockdown restrictions are lifted, while the Self-Employed Person Income Relief Scheme should be made automatic for all self-employed adults below the age of 37, it said.

“We propose targeting a minimum of 10 per cent of our energy to come from renewable sources by 2025, which will put us on a path of sustainable development. We also need to curb the use of plastics. Styrofoam should be banned where there are other eco-friendlier alternatives,” Mr Giam said.
