四党到宏茂桥拜早年 吴明盛称联盟“麻雀虽小五脏俱全”

昨日(19日),人民力量党(PPP)、国人为先党(SingFirst)、革新党(RP)和民主进步党(PPP)。一同前往宏茂桥市镇中心展开首次联合走访活动,并向当地民众拜早年、派芦柑。 上述四党曾传出计划结盟迎战选举,也邀请由陈清木医生领导的前进党加入。不过后者早前已表示目前比较倾向较松散的联盟。 据《海峡时报》报导,国人为先党党魁陈如斯表示目前四党仍待注册联盟,并指仍在观察和收集反馈,且目前反应不一,目前持续与其他政党洽谈。 早前,前进党中委陈仲熙,因为揶揄四在野党组盟如“抱团防沉船”的言论而引来挞伐。对此陈清木在上周五受访时重申,前者意见不代表他的观点,也不代表前进党。 他也不认为陈仲熙言论会对该党造成负面影响,“我想一些小波折不必担心太多”,他认为政治上难免会有风波,不必被它们弄得太紧绷。 “你必须看大局,大局就是… 同仇敌忾。” 冀陈清木瓜分执政党选票 据了解,陈如斯在昨日受访时告知记者,反对党目前已有三到四成的基本盘,希望陈清木能在来届选举帮忙瓜分执政党选票,但不是在野党的。 人民力量党秘秘书长吴明盛则告知记者,他们虽是小船但肯定没有沉船,也以“麻雀虽小五脏俱全”来形容四党联盟。 对于陈清木“松散联盟”的建议,他认为在野党应有共同的政策平台,例如在2011年大家群起围攻组屋价格资产增值(asset enhancement)议题;但是相对下在2015年选举,各党攻打不同议题,致使反对党得票率跌至30.1巴仙。

砍部长高薪、降医疗费 减生活开支民主党献十策

新加坡民主党在上周六(16日),于该党党所发布降低生活开支提案,放眼打造一个具同情心、包容心和持续发展的家园。 根据该党声明,指出虽然总理李显龙曾在2015年选举时,承诺会努力解决人民生活负担问题,但是如今水电费、停车、糖、消费税等生活中种种开支仍在增涨。然而,政府在过去三年来,财政盈余都达到近200亿元。 为此,民主党提出降低生活开支10策,其一就是要砍部长高薪。 民主党指出,根据该党提议的道德计算公式,总理的工资应该从年薪220万元降低到67万元。保守估计从整个内阁减薪剩下来的钱每年高达1200万元,足以为乐龄和贫穷群体提供援助。 “总理在2015年大选时曾说过:大家要准备好作出牺牲,那么我们部长就应作表率,否则他们在施政上将失信于民。” 其二,增一巴仙群体的所得税 民主党表示,2007年我国的个人所得税从28巴仙降至20巴仙。该党建议针对少数最富裕的一巴仙群体的所得税,调回28巴仙。这将为政府带来约三亿元的税收。 三,平衡中庸的财案 与其每年公布巨额盈余,政府应只针对必要的事项征税。如果副总理在2015年时说有足够能力应付未来10年的支出需求,那么这段期间就没必要在提高税收等收费。 四,废除对必需品征消费税 基本必需品如医疗服务和学校用品都不应被征消费税,他们等同和富裕家庭为这些必需品承担相同的支出。至于奢侈品的消费税收可提升。 五,落实最低薪资制…
