In a media interview after results were announced for Radin Mas Single-Member Constituency (SMC), the Reform’s Party’s (RP) leader Kenneth Jeyaretnam said that he is “pleased” with the party’s results as they faced obstacles, such as the General Election being held during the COVID-19 crisis.

Mr Jeyaretnam shared his specific thoughts on Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC) where his team won only about 30 per cent of the votes at sample counting stage.

“Ang Mo Kio is the biggest GRC, with 185, 261 voters. It is hard to cover (the GRC),” he said, adding that Singaporeans can see that “RP is a party of substance” with its manifesto and ideas.

As for his party’s plans moving moving, Mr Jeyaretnam assured that RP is going to continue walking the grounds because they are here for the long haul.

“We are also conducting focus groups to (see how) to take our manifesto forward,” he added.

IPS研究吁检讨临终服务 网民一致赞同

国人理想中的“善终”,是在家中有亲人陪伴周围时离去。但是根据李光耀公共政策学院政策研究所于上周五(7月12日)发布的一份报告显示,这种有尊严的善终愿望与现实仍有差距,且现有临终关怀服务仍有许多待改进的工作。 这份名为“善终:新加坡临终关怀政策”的报告引用了连氏基金会(Lien Foundation)2014年的报告,显示77巴仙国人希望能在家中善终,但是不到四分之一的人能做到。截至2017年,其中近七成人在医院、疗养院或慈善机构过世。 弥补现实与理想差距 该报告指出,希望政府重新审视这一问题,以弥补现实的差距。研究发起人指出,目前有超过20万的国人年龄在75岁以上,及他们成千上万的家庭成员,因此必须拉近人们对临终的情况与理想差距,尽管其中含有众多复杂因素。 该研究建议国人对死亡提出现实观点,多在临终前数天给予更好的生活素质,而不是寻找治愈绝症患者的方法,因为治疗可能已毫无意义。 研究也为如何改善我国的临终服务提供一些建议,例如就死亡这个课题进行对话。同时,建议基于病患的整体需求收费,而不是依据现有的看诊次数。 政策研究所高级研究员余国安和阿里凡拉甘(Yvonne Arivalagan)针对和不同领域,包括医疗保健和社会工作到政策规划的专家进行了磋商,并展开研究。有关的磋商在2017年至2019年期间,由研究所将专家分派到设立的三个工作小组去进行。除此之外,研究发起人也对他们之前进行的临终关怀服务研究,给予支持。 主要原因 昂贵的医疗保健 有关研究提出了我国医疗保健的一些问题,其中一个主要问题就是国人认为临终关怀服务难以负担,导致他们在事后才来后悔。…
