The WP is not here to “tear down what works,” but rather the group will “build on it,” according to Mr. Harpreet Singh, who likewise addressed the crowd in Teochew.
He therefore made a number of recommendations, including advocating for better , Central Provident Fund profits, smaller class size in schools, and for families to choose a through-train program to help their children skip the primary school Leaving Examinations.  ,
A nation is more than just its GDP ( Gross Domestic Product ) or its horizon. A nation is its people and how they live, he said, noting that a ballot for the WP will give it a chance for a more just, equitable, and sensible Singapore.
Andre Low, a candidate for Jalan Kayu SMC, brought up the idea of smaller class sizes to attract more interest from the school.
Additionally, Mr. Low advocated for education measures to reduce exam anxiety, allowing one people to access accommodation choices at a younger years, and reducing the waiting period for housing “back to what they were a decade ago.”
In addition to the items he advocated for in his talk, he also mentioned the exemption from the goods and services tax for essential items, tiered pricing for resources for lower-income organizations, and free public transportation for seniors during off-peak hrs.
Mr. Low, who is up against PAP candidate and NTUC director general Ng Chee Meng, even brought up the NTUC-Allianz story and demanded more accountability.
European employer Allianz had made an effort to acquire a majority interest in Income Insurance, but the Singapore government earlier last October blocked the deal.
The NTUC officially supported the offer just two months prior, saying,” The position was so severe that we had to pass emergency legislation to stop the deal.” And he claimed that despite their adjacent ties to the PAP,.
” We need powerful opposition voices in Parliament because of this.” Because these kinds of decisions are made behind closed doors without appropriate checks and balances, without appropriate supervision, and without those who are willing to issue those in power.
We were so fortunate that the NTUC offer was blocked. We might not be so fortunate once more.
The soon-to-be-father said that as he was transitioning from the WP to the prospect, he was considering how he could still be the best father to his infant while giving everything to Singapore.
Low Thia Khiang and JB , Jeyaretnam, two former WP officials and opposition MPs who influenced him, he added.  ,
They “had the metal in them,” they claimed. I have the metal in me. They gave me the confidence to move up, and that is why I’m here now, “replied Mr. Low.
