WP MP Leon Perera responds to DPM Lawrence Wong's call for concrete opposition policy alternatives

Responding to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's point that the opposition should offer concrete alternative policy ideas, Workers' Party MP for Aljunied GRC, Leon Perera said on Tuesday that the opposition has been doing this. "We offer alternative policies that differ substantively from the ideas of the PAP – eg on slowing reserves growth to enhance livability, social justice and social mobility; and reducing BTO prices based on tweaks to the land valuation formula. "The alternatives we have championed in Parliament, in our manifesto are too numerous for me to mention here. I only have 20 minutes. We championed universal healthcare insurance and delinking BTO from resale prices long before they were adopted by the PAP government." "We championed anti-discrimination legislation and redundancy insurance, policies the PAP are now considering. The DPM, the PAP knows this." "Sir, I have a sense of déjà vu now, recalling how I was debating a similar issue about what the PAP said about our housing paper just a few weeks ago." "Sir, let us be honest in our political debates. Honest. Not going for false but flashy soundbites that smear our opponents, that the media then viralise. I don’t want my children to grow up in a posttruth society."
