人民行动党最近刚介绍了27名准候选人。不过,有网民嘲讽,这些准候选人看起来好像都来自“同一类”,不是出身军伍、不然就是公务员、医生或律师等等,和原行动党议员似乎都来自同一群体。 对此行动党第二助理秘书长、贸工部长陈振声则表示,民众不必依据新人的职业,就为他们归类“贴标签”(英语原意pigeonhole),再者应考量该党整体93名准候选人,实则都来自不同领域。 他指出,有者出身商界、社会领域、公共服务领域等,“所以我们可以说涵盖了各界。” 他说,人们应该避免根据这些新人的职业,来武断地标签他们。陈振声称,与其因为他们来自特定背景,就为他们贴标签,他认为实则新人们都有各自的个性值得人们去了解。 当被询及行动党缺乏印裔候选人,陈振声则表示,该党有九名印裔准候选人,其中六人还是政治职务者。
新加坡民主党指出,在该党的“重新启动RESTART”援助和重新雇佣计划下,被裁员的员工将获得临时援助金,让他们创业,扭转我国的经济结构,强化国家企业家文化。 民主党秘书长徐顺全在脸书帖文,指出该党所推出的“重启”计划,能够协助被裁退的国人,让他们能够透过该援助金重新振作,甚至创业。 他表示,该党非常关注我国的就业机会和失业率课题,并对目前的政策感到失望。 他指出,透过“重启”计划,被裁国人能够持续18个月获得原薪金的一半援助金,即即首半年提供原先工资的75巴仙,第二半年提供一半的工资,以及最后的半年提供原工资的四分一。 “若被裁员工能够找到另外九名面对同样命运的国人,他们可以透过提交可行的商业计划书,一次性领出所有援助金,作为合作企业的资本。” 该计划也会就合作企业的类型制定广泛的指南,并设立独立机构进行监督,以防遭滥用,更可以引用法定指南,让董事会和管理层承担责任。 他指出,此做法已经在意大利率先被提出,被称为马可拉法(Marcora Law),帮助被裁退的人们重新振作,并鼓励国人创业。类似的合作企业为会员所拥有和管理,将有助于新加坡市场的经济包容性和多元化。 徐顺全指出,我国在“裙带资本主义”指数中,排位偏高,是不健康且不可持续的现象。因此他希望自冠状病毒19疫情后的复苏时期,我国能够摆脱政府主导的国内经济,真正调整我国的经济结构,让私营部门取到关键作用,加强国家的企业家文化。
