'Your future will go down': Shanmugam calls out opposition's unrealistic promises
At the People's Action Party (PAP) rally held on Tuesday (April 29) at Yishun Stadium for Nee Soon GRC, Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam addressed concerns about jobs and the rising cost of living in Singapore.
Shanmugam, who is leading the five-member PAP team to contest the GRC, spoke about how American tariffs are impacting Singapore's investments, jobs, and businesses.
«Investments will slow down, that means new job creation is going to be affected. Businesses are going to be affected,» he said, adding that despite US President Trump’s claim of a three-month suspension of the tariffs, the situation remains unpredictable.
He assured residents, however, that the government has plans in place to navigate these challenges.
«We are not a country that waits for trouble, we prepare beforehand. PM has formed an Inter-Ministerial Committee, chaired by DPM Gan Kim Yong,» Shanmugam said.
He praised DPM Gan for his quiet yet effective approach in managing challenging situations.
