Budget Speech 2011 by Mr Low Thia Khiang

http://wp.sg/2011/02/budget-speech-2011-by-mr-low-thia-khiang/

MP for Hougang Low Thia Khiang urges the government to do more to reduce the rising cost of living and the burden of supporting a family in Singapore by cutting GST and Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Levy because hiring a domestic helper is no longer a luxury but a necessity.

In the spirit of Singaporeans first, he called on the government to disclose more statistics to let Singaporeans know more jobs did go to them in 2010 and more are reserved for them in the next decade.

Another urgent issue raised was the need to start working on reversing our low fertility rate urgently in light of most of the efforts initiated by the government has failed so far. It is also counterproductive that the government is taking the easy way out to boost our population by importing foreigners.
