上周五(11日),高庭法官加南拉美斯(Kannan Ramesh)宣读判词,指工人党主席林瑞莲、秘书长毕丹星和前秘书长刘程强,须为阿裕尼-后港市镇会蒙受损失,承担法律责任。 针对法院对工人党市镇会诉讼的判决,工人党主席林瑞莲、秘书长毕丹星和前秘书长刘程强,也在同日发表简短声明,指出他们目前将检视该判决,并寻求律师的建议,并在适当时候披露有关他们下一步行动的详细消息。 毕丹星则在脸书透露,他们会在专为诉讼案设立的网站“秉诚行事”(in good faith),更新进一步信息;与此同时,市镇会的工作仍要认真做。 例如他今天下午,仍和议员费沙一同出席简报会了解OneService应用程序的进展,刘程强和方荣发则在数百米附近的建屋局后港分局开会,讨论后港区的邻里更新计划。 “感谢各位朋友和支持者与我们同行,我们仍有更长的路要一起走。” 似乎当前的判决,仍无阻工人党议员继续走访选区和接触选民。隔日早上(12日),阿裕尼集选区议员还在勿洛蓄水池路第622和623组屋地带展开群众活动,向居民更进一些市镇会的发展计划和民生课题。 此外,根据工人党官方脸书的贴文,工人党林瑞莲、刘程强、毕丹星,贝理安等人,前往实龙岗北拜访居民。
贸工部今日公布对新加坡第三季经济的初步预估数据,整体国内生产总值(GDP)增长仅0.1巴仙,与第二季度持平。 在7月公布预估数据,新加坡经济在第二季度(2Q19)表现不如预期,增长仅0.1巴仙,比第一季度的1.1巴仙更低。 不过根据文告显示,经季节性调整按环比折年率计算,增长达0.6巴仙,上个季度则是负增长2.7巴仙。 至于制造业下滑3.5巴仙,连续三个季度萎缩;建筑业增长2.7巴仙,服务业增长从上个季度的1.1巴仙,进一步放缓至0.9巴仙。 贸工部文告中分析,尽管化学、生物医学和一般制造业领域产出增长,但都为电子、交通工程和精确工程等领域的产出减少所抵消。 经季节性调整按环比折年率计算,制造业负增长0.4巴仙,比上一季度负增长4.2巴仙改善不少。 建筑业方面则受到公共和私人领域的建筑活动刺激;服务业的增长主要是获得金融和保险业,以及其他商业服务领域的支持。 另一方面,与商贸相关的服务领域如批发贸易似乎受到疲软外部需求的挫折,加之电子和精密工程领域产出下滑的负面影响。 文告中也披露贸工部将在下月的《新加坡经济概览》(Economic Survey of Singapore)中,发布第三季度GDP预估,涵括依据领域、增长因素、通膨、就业和产能等方面表现。
