During the Tuesday Parliament debate on the motion on cost of living, MPs from Workers' Party and Progress Singapore Party ardently pushed for structural reforms over one-time fiscal aids.
However, the People's Action Party which holds a majority in Parliament amended the motion with three amendments introduced by MP Liang Eng Hwa, emphasizing the global cost-of-living concern and the necessity for sustainable policies.
All eight WP MPs and two PSP NCMPs dissented against the PAP MP's amendments, as they diminish the government's role in the increased cost of living for Singaporeans and compel the acceptance of the status quo.
