The Singapore United Party ( SUP) released its manifesto on Wednesday ( Apr 23 ), calling for access to Central Provision Fund ( CPF ) savings, a price cap for HDB resale apartments, and free medical care for both young and old.  ,
The” Moving Forward, Together” manifesto emphasizes three crucial goals: preserving our rights, fostering a welcoming society, and pursuing our dreams.  ,
The file contains recommendations for boosting housing affordability, supporting the ageing people, and improving the education program. It was shared with reporters on Thursday.  ,
In a videos posted on Instagram on Wednesday night, SUP secretary-general Andy Zhu stated in a statement that “our vision is a Singapore where every resident has the opportunity to grow, regardless of background.”
In “key areas,”” there needs to be a basic move toward greater fairness and inclusivity.”
Ridhuan Chandran, the SUP chair, told investigators on Thursday that the government needs to better engage the people on the ground, adding that people are asking “why they are also never involved in the policy-decision making.”
The first-place SUP will square off against a People’s Action Party ( PAP ) team led by Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and a People’s Power Party ( PPP ) line-up led by party treasurer William Lim in the May 3 election in Ang Mo Kio GRC.  ,
Here is a look at the key ideas made by SUP in its statement:  .
CPF AND HOUSE ARE PERFECT.
According to the party’s declaration, the present CPF regulations forbid the withdrawal of the retirement fund “at one’s own discretion” and only apply to payments made monthly after Singaporeans turn 65.  ,
In terms of how much of Singaporeans ‘ hard-earned CPF savings are being spent, it said,” This deprives Singaporeans of the right to their personal rights.  ,
The manifesto read,” The large amount can be made to work better” in the hands of” savvy people,” who” should not be penalized for the mismanagement of another.”  ,
We therefore urge the government to give Singaporeans the freedom and cash they need to manage their personal success by freeing up retirees ‘ funds.
The group also called on the state to reevaluate Singapore’s healthcare system and “possibly” give free medical care to those over 67.  ,
In terms of accommodation, the resale market is currently “exorbitant values,” according to SUP in its statement, noting that some cottages have sold for more than a million dollars.  ,
Instead of allowing” the free movement of business forces to determine” the prices, the party suggested that the government impose a price cap on sale flats.  ,
HELD AND THE YAYAYA
SUP even suggested a , a revision of a number of education plans.  ,
The party made the suggestion in its statement that “primary training been made free for all local children,” grant them “equal footing” in the classroom, and lower the financial stress on lower-income households. It did not go into detail about what this coverage concept entails.
The Ministry of Education has two distinct components set out in primary schools each month: college fees and other fees.
Residents are free to pay the government’s funding for primary school expenses. The exact rate of S$ 13 per month applies to all primary school students, regardless of nationality, for various fees that go toward personal schools ‘ expenses and operating costs.
Mr. Zhu made clear during a walkabout on Hougang Ave 8 on Thursday that his group wants to cover these costs as well as other related educational expenses.  ,
That means you don’t have to pay for books, clothes, or other expenses, he continued.  ,
” So that will inspire people to go to college because it’s free, and there will finally get a level-playing industry.”
The statement urged organizations like universities and polytechnics to provide more jobs to Singaporeans” so as to improve their chances of carving out a great potential for themselves.”  ,
The group argued that tertiary institutions may have mentorship initiatives aimed at disbursing financial help, cultivating scientific excellence, and creating suitable environments. Students from lower-income households frequently face an “unfair advantage.”  ,
According to SUP, children under 14 and under should also be eligible for free clinical care, adding that it thinks this will help Singapore “in the long run.”  ,
