On Saturday (27 June), the Singapore People’s Party (SPP)’s candidates for the upcoming General Election (GE) had conducted their outreach activities, meeting the residents during their walkabout at Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

“We connected with the residents today, and have been doing the same consistently in the past,” said the Party’s Secretary-General Steve Chia on his Facebook yesterday.

Mr Chia, who will be contesting at Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, asserted that the Party will commit to serve the constituency by means of action instead of just sitting in Parliament.

“This is our promise to our residents. We may not have fancy PR campaigns or elite industry leader candidates.

“What we do have is our hearts, actions and dedication to the people of Singapore. We’re the Singapore People’s Party!” he remarked.

The Party’s other three candidates for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC – Vice-Chairman Williiamson Lee, as well as member Khan Osman Sulaiman and Melvyn Chiu – were also seen in the photos of the walkabout posted by Mr Chia.

After the walkabout, Mr Chia took to his Facebook once again to thank the residents for their warm welcome.

“All Smiles // Another day of outreach in Toa Payoh. Thank you to all residents for the warm welcome! #passiontoserve @ Toa Payoh, Singapore,” he wrote.

单价约1.2-1.55亿新元 国防部拟向美购四架F-35战机

国防部长黄永宏今日(3月1日)在国会宣布,国防部确定向美国购买四架F-35战机。 他在参与今日辩论国防预算时,表示国防部将致函美方,先要求采购四架F-35战机,之后再打算添购八架。新加坡已获得美国行政部门和国防部的同意。 “美国总统川普上月还致函我国总理,欢迎我国采购F-35战机的决定。” 不过,有关战机的最终单价仍待定。黄永宏仅表示,拥有F-35战机群的维修保养成本,应和现有的F-15SG战机相去不远。 他指出,,由于美国、英国、意大利和日本等国家都订购了这款战机,产量上升也拉低了这款战机的售价。根据国防科技局(DSTA)的评估,目前正是我国下手采购的时机。 至于目前F-35战机的单机价格,从9000万美元(1.22亿新元)到1.15亿美元(1.55亿新元)不等,也和现在的F-15SG战机相当。 根据F-35生产商洛克希德·马丁公司,新加坡有意购置可垂直起降的F-35B战机,造价可能达到1亿1550万元。 购买新战机是我国建立下一代武装部队的计划之一,我国也会从2020年起,陆续更换老化的军备。 根据路透社报导,新加坡空军大约有60架F—16战机。这些战机从1998年开始服役,将在2030年前后逐步换装。

菲律宾记者蕾莎被控逃税 新闻界批政府打压异见

菲律宾独立新闻网站拉普勒(Rappler)创办人兼总裁玛丽亚蕾莎(Maria Ressa),被菲律宾司法部以税务欺诈罪发拘捕令,后者在昨日向当局“自首”。 菲律宾全国记者联会则指责这是政府打压异见之举,导致该国民主倒退。 菲律宾司法部10月起诉Rappler网上新闻平台总裁雷萨,指控她在2015年纳税申报表中没有申报该公司一笔将近300万美元的收益,涉嫌逃税。蕾莎获罪以六万比索(约1566新元)保释候审。若罪成,她可被判罚款及10年徒刑。 不过,蕾莎在接受当地媒体访问时指“现在不是恐惧的时候”,并表示拉普勒仍会继续监督政府。 “我並不是罪犯,但我像個罪犯般被印下指模,这並沒有依遵正当法律程序。說实话,對於政府做到这個地步,让渺小的 Rappler 感受它有多大威力,我感到惊讶。” 长期以来抨击”毒品战争“政策 拉普勒长期以来抨击总统杜特蒂政府推行的“毒品战争”。随着政府继续追击毒贩和毒驴,法外和治安杀人的死亡人数迅速增加。拉普勒也曾在社交媒体发起#RealNumbersPH运动,质疑官方针对毒品战争和死亡人数数据造假。 LOOK: Pasig…
