So this chio little Nonya will be representing National Solidarity Party (NSP) in the 2011 elections, taking place just a couple of weeks from now, i.e. on 7 May 2011. Marine Parade GRC...
Eh... Wait a minute?
Who or What is National Solidarity Party (NSP)?
I thought I read somewhere that Nicole Seah was with Reform Party (RP)?
Nicole Seah is one of the many former Reform Party members who have recently quit and join NSP instead.
This is all very interesting.
Earlier, I asked 'Why former government scholarships in the opposition do not join Workers' Party?'.
Now, it is again intriguing to ask again.
Why not Workers' Party?
Why specifically NSP?
I want to find out more about NSP, but its website is down today. The wiki entry is not exactly helpful either. I wanted to read up on its Secretary-General Goh Meng Seng. NSP has a rather high profile member called Steve Chia. He's not exactly in the limelight for positive reasons most of the time. Read here.
So what exactly is the draw of NSP?
I dunno. I wish I can interview the folks of NSP and even WP to find out more.
But being the introverted nerd that I am, I read the newly-released NSP manifesto GE2011 instead.
It's quite obvious that a few authors co-authored different chapters of this 13-page document. Certain chapters are clearly in government-report form, and reflect the prior experience of the new candidates.
The strength of this manifesto lies in its clear outlining of policies to support the principles which NSP has laid out for Economy, Housing, Government Expenditure, GST, Defence, Political Leadership, and Overall Fiscal Position.
I like it for the following reasons:
- Singaporeans FIRST - NSP phrases it as such 'Grant priority to Singaporeans in employment'.
- Pegging of Prime Minister's Salary to 40x of median wage level in Singapore
- The example in Annex A (Pg 11) on the Effects of Taxation Policies on Top Earner and Lower Income
