新加坡前进党要更好地履行反对党的职责，竟然要人民买单？
新加坡前进党在2020年全国大选的竞选宣言中，指责政府以“东拼西凑的政策调整”来应对经济问题，“没有从根本上解决影响新加坡人的问题”，而“前进党为这些全国面对的问题提供了更好的替代政策”。 三年后的今天，前进党非选区议员梁文辉在休会动议中说，很多反对党议员无法利用公务员资源，加上没有公共政策或法律背景，因此所提出的替代政策将不会像政府的那样具有广度和深度。 国会领袖英兰妮在回应梁文辉的动议时，引述前进党的竞选宣言加以说明，缺乏研究资源并没有影响前进党提出自己政策立场的能力。 从增加非选区议员的津 ...

人民行动党政府照顾世世代代国人的利益
一人一半，感情不散。卫生部长王乙康引用这首大家耳熟能详的福建歌曲，生动地形容人民行动党政府管理国家预算的理念。那就是以对半的方式，把一半的国家储备金净投资回报贡献（Net Investment Returns Contribution，简称NIRC）用于开支，另一半则应付未来的需要。这是比较符合人民行动党的价值观和原则的处理方式。 人民行动党政府认为，国家储备金属于世世代代的国人，这一代和下一代，因此有必要谨慎管理。 王乙康在国会参与政府施政方针辩论，对工人党阿裕尼集选区议员贝理安的言论做出回应 ...

国人是否买得起组屋？工人党的立场前后矛盾。 碧山-大巴窑集选区议员安迪在国会参与政府施政方针和各部门附录辩论时，引述工人党盛港集选区议员蔡庆威所属的瑞士信贷团队今年1月发布的一份报告，借此说明工人党在国人是否买得起组屋的课题的立场前后矛盾。 安迪指出，身为银行分析师的蔡庆威在这份专业报告中提到本地住屋是国人负担得起的。报告揭露，本地房地产市场虽然实施降温措施，本地家庭赚取的平均收入仍然负担得起价值100万元的房屋。 显然的，蔡庆威对本地公共住屋的专业评估和工人党议员过去几个月所采取的立场大相径庭 ...
