      @solaris5655 The government is not open and transparent. This is a fact. The Opposition does not know more than the public. So what the Opposition proposes is based on very limited information. This makes it easy for the PAP to "trash" what is proposed as unrealistic or based only on speculation and conjecture. What the Opposition and the public should agitate for us open and transparent government so issues can be discussed using ALL relevant information.

      The moderator, Graham Allison a professor at Harvard Kennedy School, has written about the governance model of Singapore in comparison to the United States and the United Kingdom. In his article titled "What the West Can Learn From Singapore," he highlights several key areas where Singapore excels in governance, suggesting that the U.S. could adopt certain practices from Singapore to improve its own systems.
      Key Points from Graham Allison's Analysis
      Economic Performance: Allison notes that Singapore's GDP per capita has surpassed that of the U.S., reflecting effective economic management. He emphasizes that Singapore has significantly reduced inequality, as evidenced by a decrease in its Gini coefficient from 0.47 to 0.37, while the U.S. remains stagnant around 0.47.
      Public Health and Longevity: The article points out that Singaporeans enjoy better health outcomes, with a life expectancy of 84 years and significantly lower infant mortality rates compared to the U.S. and UK. Allison argues that Singapore was well-prepared for public health crises like COVID-19, with far fewer deaths per capita than its Western counterparts.
      Education System: Singaporean students consistently outperform their peers in international assessments, which Allison cites as a testament to the effectiveness of its education policies.
      Political Stability and Governance: The stability of Singapore's government and its low levels of corruption are highlighted as strengths. Allison mentions that multinational corporations view Singapore as an ideal place for business due to its political and legal environment.
      Citizen Satisfaction: Despite criticisms regarding political freedoms, Allison notes that a large majority of Singaporeans express satisfaction with their government and believe the country is headed in the right direction, contrasting sharply with American sentiments about their own governance.
      Implications for U.S. Governance
      Allison's analysis suggests that U.S. policymakers could learn from Singapore’s approach to governance, particularly in areas such as:
      Economic Management: Implementing policies that effectively reduce inequality and enhance economic growth.
      Public Health Preparedness: Developing robust public health systems capable of responding efficiently to crises.
      Education Reform: Focusing on improving educational outcomes through innovative teaching methods and curriculum development.
      Political Stability: Encouraging a more stable political environment that fosters trust in institutions.
      Overall, Allison's insights present a case for examining how elements of Singapore's governance could potentially benefit the United States in addressing its own challenges related to public satisfaction, economic disparity, and institutional effectiveness.

    Singapore could benefit more from infrastructure development alongside housing. Rather than solely extending the railway network, expanding it more widely to accommodate for e.g express subway services train services to create a denser, more comprehensive system. This approach would not only ease travel for commuters but also support businesses.

      The Singapore government has implemented various measures to mitigate the cost of living, particularly focusing on support for different demographic groups, including the elderly, families with babies, and middle-income households. Below is a comprehensive list of these initiatives:
      General Cost of Living Support
      Assurance Package Enhancements: A total of $1.9 billion has been allocated to enhance the Assurance Package, which includes:
      Cash payouts ranging from $200 to $400 for eligible adults in September 2024.
      Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers totaling $600 per household, disbursed in two tranches ($300 each in June 2024 and January 2025) for use at participating merchants and supermarkets.
      U-Save rebates for HDB households to help offset utilities expenses, with additional rebates planned throughout 2024.
      Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates, providing up to 4 months of rebates for eligible households in FY2024136.
      Support for the Elderly
      Pioneer Generation Package: Introduced to provide lifelong healthcare subsidies for seniors who were part of the first generation of Singaporeans4.
      Merdeka Generation Package: Offers healthcare support for seniors born in the 1950s, including subsidies for outpatient care and MediSave top-ups4.
      Silver Support Scheme: Provides quarterly cash payouts to eligible seniors aged 65 and above who had low incomes during their working years. This includes:
      Automatic assessments for eligibility, with payouts starting from $360 per quarter7.
      Seniors’ Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF): Supports seniors requiring mobility devices or home care services2.
      Community Networks for Seniors: A program that connects seniors with community resources and activities to promote active aging4.
      Support for Families with Babies
      Childcare Subsidies: The government provides various subsidies for parents using childcare services, including:
      Baby Bonus Scheme, which offers cash gifts and a Child Development Account (CDA) that matches savings made by parents.
      Enhanced maternity leave and paternity leave policies, ensuring parents have adequate time off to care for newborns while maintaining job security.
      Support for Middle-Income Households
      SkillsFuture Initiatives: These programs include training allowances and credits aimed at helping workers upgrade their skills, thereby improving employability and income potential3.
      Housing Grants: Various grants are available to assist families in purchasing homes, making housing more affordable6.
      These measures reflect the government's commitment to addressing the cost of living challenges faced by Singaporeans across different life stages and socioeconomic backgrounds.
