Now you get it👍
So WP must lay out their plan how to finance their wonderful proposals..👏

As you know too, eg; collect more taxes. 😊

So WP will present a better detailed plan to increase social welfare expenditure and at the same time increase taxation or other income avenue to finance it.

Much more convincing and practical. Singaporean will be impressed and kick out PAP...Yea!!!

All the while, I have been suggesting a Coalition Government for Singapore, once Singaporean voted out PAP.
WP, PSP and SDP combined into a United Party for coming GE..😁👏

[EvertonDiehard]

Fire all the greedy Pappies, and the cost of living for ALL S'poreans will go down immediately.

[EvertonDiehard]

The President is a puppet who cannot protect S'poreans from the greed of the Govt.

The only strategy to win against PAP is to form a Coalitiion Party. But, I know WP is too selfish and wants to stand alone. WP simply wants to hv the whole pie for themselves. This way, Oppositions wud be tough to hv a majority.
