As People’s Voice (PV) fielded a team of four at Jalan Besar GRC that is led by the party chief, Lim Tean, the alternative party is contesting against the People’s Action Party (PAP) which is led by Josephine Teo at the GRC.

Mr Lim made a speech at Bendemeer Primary School this morning as it is Nomination Day today (30 June) for the upcoming General Election (GE). The speech was then posted on PV’s Instagram.

The other PV candidates that stood along with Mr Lim were Leong Sze Hian, Azlan Sulaiman and Michael Fang Amin.

The party chief expressed that the upcoming GE is crucial for Singaporeans to “regain their dignity, country and future”. And he stressed that this is the chance for Singaporeans to vote towards a future that will ensure they get the jobs “they deserve”.

“This is the election that you have been waiting for. This is the election for you to regain our dignity, country and future. This is the election for you to ensure that you and your next generation have the jobs you deserve.”

Mr Lim went on to promise that Singaporeans’ livelihoods will not be “taken away by foreigners”, implying that the unemployment in the nation is a result of hiring foreign labour.

“This is the election to wipe away the shame that our country has been tainted with. (Singapore) has been described as one of the greatest failures in the coronavirus saga. A failure that was caused by weak and inept leadership in our Government.”

Finally, he reminded Singaporeans that PV is only asking for “the chance to serve” in Parliament with the intention to “put people first”.

“This is the election for all of us to deliver a fairer and more prosperous society to the many, and not just the privileged few. We come before you, not asking for anything, but only asking for the chance to serve as your elective representatives in Parliament.

So that we can push an agenda that we’ll always put people first, and together make Singapore our home again.”

国会通过《妇女宪章》修正案 赋予更多权力打击“住宅妓院”

“住宅妓院”如雨后春笋般不断出现,并且经常转移阵地,难以打击。但今后当局将会有更多权力对“住宅妓院”采取相应行动,并且会加强打击非法网络经营。 昨日(4日)国会通过《妇女宪章》(Women’s  Charter)的修改提案,其中也包括针对试图转移业务到海外,以逃避法律人士。国家发展部高级政务次长孙雪玲表示,初犯与惯犯均处以更重的刑期与更高的罚款。 自2015年到2018年间,10名被捕的外国女性中,有7名涉嫌在网络上宣传自己提供性服务,而当中均于住宅区中非法提供性服务。2015年期间,16巴仙的女性因网络卖淫被捕,去年更攀升至55巴仙。 随着犯罪数字的高涨,为能打击卖淫活动,若出租用作妓院用,除非他们能够证明自己的不知情,并“合理积极地”(reasonable diligence)确定该场所不被用于此目的,承租人均将承担刑事责任。 “合理积极”,指屋主与租户应透过面对面约谈合租事宜,并对租户或次租户进行身份检查。 若他们人在海外,屋主可以聘请中介确认他们的身份或面谈。 孙雪玲表示,再三确认租户身份是必要的,因为犯罪集团往往利用房屋租凭过程中的漏洞达成目的,包括提供假身份(很有可能是死者身份)给屋主。 此外,法案的修正包括将调查对象延伸至本地人或永久居民,而对于未对有关租户进行身份调查的物业代理,将可能会被罚款,或吊销营业执照。 当局也表示将会与房地产代理理事会(CEA)合作,引入专业准则。 其他的修正包括,若在境外透过网络或应用程式为本地提供性服务,亦被视为犯罪。警方将赋予更大的权力逮捕皮条客或“中介”,即使是辩称为自由业性工作者。目前,只有为性工作者牵线的中介均需被逮捕。…
