SINGAPORE - Selling new HDB flats for $90,000 to $270,000, making maternal and paediatric care mostly free, reducing GST to 7 per cent, and removing the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). These are some proposals put forth by the Singapore Democratic Party on April 20 as it unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming polls on May 3. A day earlier, it revealed its campaign slogan of Thrive, Not Just Survive. The manifesto was launched by party chairman Prof Paul Tambyah at Yew Tee Square, part of Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC where the opposition party has planted its flag. Flanking him were party vice-chairman Bryan Lim, organising secretary Jufri Salim and member Gigene Wong. The three are set to be fielded in constituencies that SDP intends to contest in. SDP's manifesto has six broad sections, spelling out 'Thrive', with over 40 proposals. Its six thrusts include ensuring fair taxes, universal healthcare, respect for the planet and people, rational immigration, a voluntary en-bloc redevelopment scheme for affordable housing, and an education system promoting creativity and equality.
