Singapore GE2020: wpsg manifesto shows how seriously party takes Covid-19 crisis, says Pritam Singh singaporevotes

SINGAPORE - The first chapter of the Workers' Party's manifesto highlights policy proposals to tackle Covid-19, and that shows how seriously the party is treating the crisis, said the opposition party on Tuesday .

The manifesto includes proposals on expanding Covid-19 testing and making free vaccinations against the disease mandatory when one is available. But Mr Singh said the WP, which is advocating for a national minimum wage, is making no apologies for its policy proposals. "If you look at what's been happening around the world, you will see that there are actually many examples of countries that have been dealing quite effectively with the virus, with robust democracies," said Ms Lim.
