On Sunday (5 July), People’s Voice (PV) chief Lim Tean took to his Facebook to spell out the consequences for the next five years if the People’s Action Party (PAP) is returned with the huge mandate in this coming General Election (GE).

Mr Lim started off his video by cautioning that PAP is starting to fear monger to claim that they may not win this year’s election.

He claimed that PAP is “endangering the people’s lives”, saying the PAP is “making COVID out to be a crisis, hoping that people will flee to the ruling party, so that the opposition will be wiped out completely.”

“And that is their plan, on the 11th of July, they hoped that the Singapore Parliament (will) be 93 PAPs, zero opposition,” he noted.

Speaking of the consequences, Mr Lim first reminded the public about the raising of taxes to cover expenses which has been raised by the PAP’s First Assistant Secretary-General Heng Swee Keat a few years ago.

He continues, “And it’s not just taxes, it has been the increasing of your conservancy charges, the increasing of electricity tariff, your water tax and a range of other costs of living issue. And it has also meant that fewer and fewer jobs are being created for Singaporeans.

“And I asked the parents who are watching this video to think of your next generation. Are they coming up to a future that is better than yours? Or do you think that if the PAP has the huge mandate, they are going to have a lesser future?” the Party’s chief stated.

Speaking in the video, Mr Lim also described that a delivery person had complained to him about the poor condition of the estate roads where they have to ride on the left side, yet the left side of the road are full of pot odds and not well-maintained.

“So, do not think that the PAP is the answer to the good management of the estates,” he added.

He ended his video by urging the public to “not give in to fear monger(ing)” and think about the consequences of returning the PAP with huge mandates.

“I will be speaking to you a lot in the coming days because we are heading towards the end of election but my message to you today is do not give in to the fear monger. You have now to think of yourself and your next generation and the consequences of returning the PAP with the huge mandate on election day,” he remarked.

无理取闹延宕投诉进程 卫生部设新纪委会提高诉案效率

卫生部工作小组认为一些无理取闹的投诉造成了“浪费公帑与严重不公”的现象,未来可能将采取强制承担诉讼中的费用。 卫生部工作小组近期内针对获取知情同意程序,以及新加坡医药理事会纪律程序进行检讨,昨日(3日)公布结果,其中对卫生部提出28项建议,均以被卫生部接受。 工作小组认为目前医药理事会处理投诉的现有程序过于冗长,至少需要四年以上才能将所有的案件处理完毕,因此为提高效率,卫生部将成立新的纪律委员会,将投诉案件在一年半内结案。 就现有程序而言,医药理事会在接获病患投诉后会先成立投诉委员(Complaints Committee)进行调查,再视案件的轻重判决,轻者将会受到警告信,重者则转交纪律审裁庭(Disciplinary Tribunal)展开进一步审讯。 《联合早报》报道,卫生部工作小组委员黄长彦医生受访时说,“调查、提控和审裁均由医理会所负责。我们小组建议把审裁的工作分出来,纪律审裁庭日后会由独立的纪律委员会成立,以提高审理程序的透明度。” 为提高效率,工作小组建议医药理事会成立工作小组建议成立投诉小组(Complaints Panel),在接获通报后会先成立调查委员会(Inquiry Committee)初步审查,筛选案件,于三周内决定是否受理案件。 经评估后,若委员会判定投诉并无其合理性,将需承担诉讼期间的费用。而诉讼人则可在接获通知后的14天内,向高院申请复审。 卫生部也计划成立新的纪律委员会(Disciplinary…

台湾偶遇遗憾未送亲笔签名书 龙应台脸书帖文寻铁粉

因一次在屏东潮州偶遇,惜缘的台湾知名作家龙应台在脸书上帖文寻找新加坡书迷,并且表示想送他们一本带有亲笔签名的书。在网民数次转发有关帖文下,铁杆书迷找到啦! 龙应台于5月4日在脸书上帖文,分享她和朋友临时决定到圆环吃冰时,遇到了寻找她的读者事情经过。 她表示,当时和朋友临时起意到一年多前曾经到访的圆环吃冰。当地的冰点只有两家,而他们选择了人少的那间。 她和友人三人点了冰坐下,旁边的客人是一名上了年纪,皮肤晒得很黑的男子。 那名客人当时在端详龙应台一桌点的食物,显然是想作为参考。“那人的视线离开冰碗往上挪时,看见我,顿时露出不可思议的神情,说话都打结:你是……你是不是……你是。” 龙应台当时还以为对方是潮州农友乡亲,于是就和对方,以及对方身边的妻子,高兴打招呼。 过后才了解到,两人原来是新加坡人,都是从新加坡专程到潮州“找龙应台”的。 经过交谈后,龙应台才知道读者夫妇是到潮州后,不知道要去哪里;不知怎么走,走到了一个地点叫潮州戏曲馆,问了戏曲馆的人南里可以找到龙应台。对方却说“不知道地址耶”。 两人问来问去,累了,也快到离开的时间,就到有人介绍的圆环吃冰,就到还有空位的那家店吃冰,却意外偶遇龙应台。 龙应台感动的指出,读者陈先生只有小学三年级的学历,是一名建筑工人,也做零工和散工,一辈子靠体力谋生,但是却记得自己的书,和书中的角色。“他读过《野火》,读过《大江大海》,读过《安德烈》、《目送》、《天长地久》,他问候在伦敦和维也纳的安德烈和飞力普,问候阳台上的美君,问候大咪流氓、格格、巧克力、布朗尼,也问候我新书的写作进度。” 龙应台和他们交流后,一起拍照,就各分东西了。但是龙应台表示,她后悔了,因为没有准备到一本书在车中,签名送给这名铁粉。“为什么没问他的地址,可以寄一本签名书给他呢?” 她呼吁我国读者帮忙找人,并将陈先生的地址私讯给她。…
