The following is an excerpt of a Facebook posting on Ms Monica Lim’s page:

Dear Mr Heng,

The recent polls have triggered many dramatic changes, the biggest of which is PM’s consistent refrain for transformation.

In this spirit, I’m writing to you to ask whole-heartedly for a transformation of our education system.  If not a complete transformation, at least a holistic review of some of the basic tenets by which education policies in this country are made.

As a parent with one child in secondary school and another in primary school with contrasting abilities, I have, over the years, become increasingly frustrated and disturbed by many areas of our education system which I feel are not edifying to the development of children.   At the risk of sounding like one of those domineering, opinionated mothers, let me try to persuade you, from the point of view of a concerned parent, why a change is due.

You can read the full letter here.

【2020财政预算案】明年不调涨消费税

副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰称,政府明年不会调高消费税,但是到了2025年仍有需要。 王瑞杰在前年2月宣布,未来消费税将从目前的7巴仙,调高到9巴仙。他当时表示,许多领域的开支都会增加,尤其是医疗保健、基础设施和国防。 不过如今他表示考量到当前的经济状况,决定不调涨。不过他仍表示,政府将审慎考量调涨消费税的时间点,好让国人有所准备。但到了2025年,仍有调整的必要。 他强调,政府调整消费税都会推出援助配套,总值60亿元的配套下,每位成年国人预计五年能获得700元到1600元的现金补助;此外现有消费税补助计划也协助低收入国人抵消所支付的税款。 王瑞杰分析,当前国际全球化倡议式微,全球经济中心往亚洲转移,对我国有利,但与此同时我国面对老龄化社会的问题。为此他呼吁除了短期挑战(如武汉冠病疫情),也要长远规划。
