民主党发表竞选纲领《引领向前》 唾弃短视方案冀为下一代谋划

新加坡民主党成功在本周六推介该党《引领向前》(The Way Forward)竞选纲领,强调“人民先于营利,权益先于显贵、智慧先于财富”。 根据该党在本周六发表的文告,上述原则不仅仅是口号,更是设计每项政策的核心价值,即以民为先,维护民主,并且有别于行动党政府,避免以短期政策方案来解决国家的问题。 民主党主席淡马亚强调该党的使命,确保国人都有平等机会取得成功,以及涵括“能力、建设性和同理心”的3C价值观。 至于该党秘书长徐顺全表示“政客为下届选举打算,但真正的政治家为下一代谋划”。有记者提问该党投入如此多努力,如何放眼来届选举的成绩。对此徐顺全表示,如果只着眼选举成绩就已经偏离重点,而该党尝试向国人宣扬信息,即民主的可贵。 他说,尽管处在恐惧的氛围,但仍希望致力向民众描绘一个替代的选项,让人们看到一个民主的未来会是怎样的?让我们的下一代享有一个透明、可问责制度的果实,该党的竞选纲领正是倡议上述长远的远见。 前民主进步党秘书长、甫在今年初加入民主党的方月光则提及,民主党政策献议涵括政经文教、部长薪资、马来社群等方方面面,志在提供一个能引领新加坡前进的献议。 询及加入民主党的缘由,方月光指出,在推行政策上民主党不仅局限于选区,更有全国性政策的格局;他说过去也在政府部门服务,故此深知订立政策作为国家基础的重要,故此从如何拟定和提呈国会殿堂、再把政策实际贯彻,需要有政治人物去执行。 而他也赞扬民主党背后具有由支持者们支撑起来的丰富竞选机制,从国家级政策到落实选区基层事务,民主党的机制是少有的,也令他能成为一份子感到自豪。 与此同时,该党年轻党员纳仁什(Naresh Subramaniam)也在会上分享,本身因相信民主党理念而加入,认可该党为弱势者发生和强调以民为先的哲学。他也指出,民主党青年团也对于他们的工作感到自豪。…
