SINGAPORE - The opposition Red Dot United (RDU) has proposed that an unconditional cash transfer be given to all Singaporeans to increase their financial security, amid rising costs and economic uncertainty. All Housing Board flats should also be eligible for redevelopment so that older ones can retain their value, instead of experiencing lease decay. These are key proposals from RDU's 24-page manifesto unveiled on April 19, along with greater support for small local businesses. In a statement, RDU secretary-general Ravi Philemon said: «We are facing a global trade crisis, and Singapore cannot escape getting trampled on when the giants fight.» He added: «A clear plan of action is exactly what citizens need right now as we face even greater uncertainty, both locally and globally.» RDU is the latest party to release its election manifesto ahead of the May 3 polls, after the PAP, WP, PSP, People's Power Party and Singapore People's Party. RDU is expected to contest Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC, Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Nee Soon GRC, Jurong Central SMC and Jalan Kayu SMC, as stated in its manifesto. Read more
