张媛容:选区范围检讨委会成立 理应立即公告国民

在野政治人物张媛容认为,新加坡人有权通过自由和公平选举,选出人民领导,这也意味着,鉴于群众利益,选区范围检讨委员会什么时候成立,也应立即公告国民。

本月4日,选举局在官网发布文告,宣布总理已召开成立了选区范围检讨委员会。据媒体报导,早在上月该委会就以成立。

对此张媛容质疑,为何上述委会成立时,不立即公告国民?

“在2015年选举前夕,当总理在7月13日在国会受到提问时,才透露选区范围检讨委会已成立,但委会早已成立了两个月。”

她指出,在新加坡选举规章下,固然没有任何条规,要求委会成立时,必须立即作出立即通知。

然而,有鉴于选举的重大和重要,以及关乎群众利益和热切期盼来届选举,她认为或有必要加上上述规定,即一旦委会成立必须马上公告国民。

“新加坡人有权通过公平和自由的选举,选出他们属意的领袖。”

对此,他认为有鉴于公平自由选举的利益,理应设下规定,确保在选区范围检讨委会一旦成立,就立即公布。而不是在国会被质询时,或者执政党选择在什么时候公布。

今年7月,工人党秘书长毕丹星在国会询问有关委会是否已成立, 惟贸工部长陈振声代表总理答复,尚未。当时已是他第二次在国会提问有关问题。

今年3月1日,毕丹星曾质问,为何不在上述委会成立后政府自行作出宣布,但贸工部长陈振声则代总理回答,惯例是让委会专业地进行工作,不受不必要媒体关注或公共压力影响。
