阿裕尼后港市镇会今日(12日)发文告宣布,区内管辖的商店和巴刹摊位,本月起将每月享有25巴仙杂费回扣,直至今年八月。 这意味着该区商店和巴刹摊位,一连三个月将享有上述回扣。 文告称市镇会是在政府宣布逐步放宽措施后,作出上述决定。即使进入第一阶段,仍有许多商店仍未复工,或仍被令无法开业。 于是,工人党阿裕尼和后港选区议员,以及市镇会理事商讨,如何协助选区内企业度过难关。 预计三个月杂费回扣,预计将耗资约30万元。 此前,阿裕尼后港市镇会就已豁免了今年4月至6月,阻断措施期间的户外广告费用。区内商业单位若4月至9月期间迟缴杂费,也免付罚款。

前进党成员罗舒玉认为,疫情和经济挑战下更应该专注中小企业面对的问题,更何况近七成中小企业都是雇用本地人。 她点评政府对中小企业援助的漏洞,援助更应直接注入中小企业。例如租金减免方面,是通过产业主,发放用于抵消租金的现金补贴给中小企业租户。 她认为这么做,其实对企业协助杯水车薪,因为近九成手头现金不多的中小企业,恐怕很难维持两三个月以上。 罗舒玉是名特许会计师,目前也是11家本地和四架海外公司的集团首席运营总监(COO)和首席财务总监(CFO),这些公司涉猎零售、制造、交通和旅游等领域。 在本月11日的网络直播会见人民活动,罗舒玉指出,为应对疫情中小企业受促可向银行贷款,“这并不能解决整个问题,因为中小企业需要的是收入,以维持雇用新本地人的日常开销。 ”然而,贷款审批需时,且利息也不低,企业恐怕感到吃不消。 罗舒玉也表示,她将主打的课题包括国人就业优先、重新开发旧组屋、确保公共服务非牟利性质。 另一名在网络直播与选民会面的潜在候选人,则是知名精神科医生洪永元。他鼓励国人不应畏惧于阐述己见,或投选自己属意的人选。 直接与间接的恐惧 在回答选民提问时,洪永元坦言存在着直接和间接的恐惧,直接的恐惧乃是过去数十年,政府和相关机构对国人灌输的,例如强调新加坡是小国、不能承受失败、周边被“大国”包围等,我们被迫听取这些宣传,不鼓励有异议,国家需受到一定管控等。 再者,反对党也被描绘成“弱势”,似乎只有行动党才能治理这国家,很多人也鲜少公开提行动党坏话。至于间接恐惧则包括媒体自我审查、反对党鲜少有获得宣传的机会等。 “恐惧是一种消极情绪,我们不应担心表达自己的观点,并为我们想要投票的人投票。” “就经济而言,我们是第一世界国家,但就政治而言,我们是第三世界国家。因此,我们该改变恐惧的氛围了。”
