梁实轩受委人民之声党影子财政部长

人民之声党领袖林鼎,于今日(28日)在脸书宣布委任时评人梁实轩为该党影子财政部长。 林鼎欢迎梁实轩涉足政坛,并认为后者在金融和保险领域拥有资深经验,任影子财长实至名归,并寄望未来他继续为国家作出显著贡献。 “梁实轩过去20年,积极撰写超过两千篇文章砥砺时政,批判和分析政府政策和数据,尤其专精于公积金政策和劳动市场。” 他说,与此同时梁在人权领域的付出,也在近期获得国际组织的认可,他曾担任本土维权组织MARUAH的主席。 林鼎指出,梁过去积极提供金融咨询服务,帮助数以千计的国人走出财务困境。 梁实轩也是金融服务专业人员协会前主席。 透露人民之声正物色议员候选人 与此同时,林鼎也透露人民之声正积极从社会各阶层招募议员候选人人选,其中有许多来自创意领域、金融证券、教育界等等。 “我们的候选人绝不是活在象牙塔里,他们和普通新加坡人一样,也没有政府铁饭碗依靠。” 林鼎透露,将在下个月推介这些候选人,惟未透露具体时间。 除了政党以外,过去坊间也有“荐举”和物色,哪些民间人物适合成为政治领袖。在2011年本社的一篇愚人节文章,就假想推举包括梁实轩等四位时评人,成为竞选静山集选区(现已纳入宏茂桥、巴西立榜莪以及阿裕尼集选区)的独立候选人。不料如今梁实轩正式加入人民之声麾下,也获推举为影子财长。 毕博渊离开人民之声…
