These bunch will be swallowed alive negotiating with the ASEAN Partners.
i think our neighbors all laughing looking at this clown show. this is why companies always bully us... need to pay so much for EPL and World Cup rights haha. literally no strong debates at all.it's like we keep running away from conflict instead of tackling it head on.

We must acknowledge that GST hikes have added to inflation pressures, but at the same time, financing essential services like healthcare, housing, and transportation is critical for Singapore’s future.

To meet growing needs sustainably, I propose three strategies.

First, adopt a more progressive tax approach — for example, higher property taxes on luxury homes and heavier stamp duties on multiple property owners, so that those with greater means contribute more.

Second, focus on growing revenues through economic expansion — by investing in industries like green tech, biotech, and digital economy to naturally widen our tax base.

Third, improve spending discipline by reviewing large infrastructure projects for efficiency and value.

Inflation and rising costs are real, but over-relying on broad-based taxes like GST is not the only way forward. With fairer taxation, smart growth, and better spending, we can finance Singapore’s future needs without overburdening ordinary Singaporeans.

This is yet another symptom of the election rigging, unfair tekan and blatant abuse by PAP of the tools they have as incumbent. I can’t even watch anymore.. it’s not a fair fight, it’s just like pofma and suing pple for defamation to make them bankrupt or have to flee the country. And this is why I cannot vote PAP

actually is a fact. some lower income sinkie men married foreign wives they were only give ltvp. no pr.
how come those money-grubbing foreign talents who want to springboard sg into us/uk can get pr whilst the foreign wives who are part of the singapore household get ltvp?

Ravi reply also not bad though. Michael and Stephanie Tan is good. But kena fact check
Ravi quite controlled, saying the correct thing, but still, his others RDU members are quite a turn off, don't play racial or religious politics in SG!
