陈佩玲称四财案人均受惠逾两万元? 革新党肯尼斯吁援引假消息法要求更正
日前,在参与“坚毅向前”附加预算案辩论时,麦波申国会议员陈佩玲提到,政府四次拨款助国人和企业面对困难,粗略计算,政府针对疫情的平均个人援助大约为2万3千225新元。
此番言论立时引来网民非议,有者指出,百姓们实得在手上、看得到的现金或受惠数目,根本没有那么多,更质疑陈佩玲的数据哪里来?
陈佩玲较后则发文解释,自己是依据四个总值近930亿元的预算案,与人口相除,人均可受惠逾两万元,以此与其他国家国民的人均受惠程度作比较,也显示政府为应对此次疫情的决心。
不过,也是经济学家的革新党领袖肯尼斯(Kenneth Jeyaretnam),就质问应探讨930亿元的分配,公民直接收到的现金也只有600元的关怀与援助配套补贴。甚至为此要副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰,援引防假消息法,向陈佩玲发出更正通知!
再者,早前王瑞杰称为应对冠病不可预测情况,政府拨出额外130亿元作为应急基金。这可能包括在340亿元团结预算案的特别调拨款项(special transfers)。
此外,要衡量政府的直接援助,也可看总赤字743亿元中,减去约173亿元的留本基金(endowment fund)及信托基金(trust fund),以及130亿元的应急基金。
