在接受彭博社访问时,贸工部长陈振声表示,很多人以为我们还有很多时间,但实际上国会必须在明年1月解散,也就是本届政府的第一个国会议事的五年后。

他相信新加坡人有足够的智慧,不会只从个别的事件,而是从长远来看待政府的表现。

对此,人民党主席乔立盟同意,国人确实有必要有足够的智慧去看待政府的表现。但他也指出,还有以下数点,是当要求人民作抉择时,应纳入考量的:

  1. 新加坡生活成本上升
  2. 廉价外籍劳动力涌入,压缩工资
  3. 组屋价值的递减
  4. 总统任期政策被更动
  5. 国人缺乏工作机会
  6. 贫富不均

未来面对挑战是必然的。但乔立盟指出,人民眼下面对的问题更不能忽视:因为疫情工作机会流失、企业濒临倒闭,人民为了养活妻小而发愁。

故此,乔立盟质问,我们要如何重启经济?要如何重新调整?国人如何适应?从政者该如何领导?

“作为人民,我们必须认同,我们所作的抉择,将形塑我们的社会。”
