【选举】毕丹星:人口议题更应有公平讨论空间

日前民主党秘书长徐顺全在首场电视辩论中,质问政府有意作一千万人口的规划,但随即被行动党荷兰-武吉知马候选人维文驳斥,指这是虚假声明。 毕丹星今日(3日)在榜鹅西走访时,针对上述事件受访时称,过去部长不断提及增长人口的可能性,因此新加坡应该要允许各种评论公平公开。 他指出根据《防假消息法》,法律有权定义虚假事实的陈述,然而如何定义虚假事实似乎成为一个问题。 “但是,你知道过去有部长常发表有关新加坡应该如何拥有更大更多的人口。所以针对人口规模一事,我们应该要有公平讨论的余地,我相信大部分人都会因此得到这样的结论。” “我们需要对虚假陈述的本质进行思考,如今是时候思考虚假陈述的定义”,他也承认维文所说的,即新加坡人口甚至难以达到690万人口。 “因此,我无法理解的是,为何这些议题在选举前没出现?我指政府的立场应该更加清楚。” 人民行动党还称,徐顺全之说是在污蔑,含误导的成分,因此要求徐顺全收回,并向新加坡人道歉 。
