I fully agreed with Pritam Singh on foreigners who works in Singapore must pass English Speaking and in written . So far in my encounter , most of them could not read and write English is a joke to import them in working in Singapore . Second they do not displayed a true engineer quality in their work and knowledge is another joke which will eventually tarnish our reputation. Government should ensure CECA foreigners so not be allowed be be called so called 'Engineers Or Specialist; where they are actually from a low skill workers !

Wow .. he really made every statement for the sake of Singaporeans … this reminds me of the debate in the 90s .. finally !!! Good oppositions !

PS - PRITAM SINGH - PURE SINGAPOREAN

I did not miss any word uttered for 39 minutes and three seconds. This video is worth watching repeatedly.

Leona Perera argued that blind trust in the government goes against the concept of an active citizenry, and citizens should engage in independent thinking based on facts and evidence. He proposed five recommendations to create a more open society: Delink the People’s Association from the ruling political party, allowing for a more level playing field in politics and ideas. Establish an Ombudsman with investigative capacity to ensure accountability and unbiased opinions. Make funding for civil society and arts handled by independent committees unlinked to the government. Publish all public opinion polls and data collection efforts conducted with state funds, with exceptions for commercial or national security sensitivities. Allow Opposition MPs to engage school students in their MP capacity alongside ruling party MPs and Ministers, nurturing independent, critical thinking from a young age.

Pritam S : We are not playing masak masak... Thats a good one.... Hahahahaha..... I dont feel bored watching opposition party especially Pritam Singh and his team (WP) .... Very cool.... Thats the reason why most Singaporeans wants a firm and strong opposition party in parliament to keep the government on their toes. Respect to Worker's Party..... Keep it up the good job and make Singapore proud.... Thank you for your service Worker's Party....❤.❤❤

Bravo W.P Pritam Singh 🙏💙💙🙏🙏💙💙💙EXCEPTIONAL💙 thank you for speaking about our elected President Ong Teng Cheong 🙏🦜

True hero and honestly the most intelligent and well spoken younger gen politician we have in all of Singapore who can speak with facts and clarity.

WP is a credible opposition that dare to bring up issues that otherwise the PAP will not do so. I am aligned with Pritam arguments that whatever WP bring up in parliament are for the good of singaporeans, unlike some PAP MP who use the external media to attack WP instead of debating in parliament out of self interest.

PS is a man of integrity, authenticity and altruism.

damn great speeech from LO Pritam Singh, imo he's speaking facts.

Need 21 more opposition MPs to make PAP MPs only 62, still the majority 62 vs 31 but cannot unilaterrally pass policies and change constitutions. We need Parliament that bring forward ideas that PAP MPs proposes and opposition also can accept for approval. Then we can agree the salary they receives is fair.

what a legend! fantastic speech, Mr Pritam Singh!

this garment's audacity to blame others but lack the introspective capability is simply mind-blowing

What an injustice! MPs are paid a five-figure "allowance" and the House is half empty!

I hope Singapore maintains it's strength, and independence. It's getting tougher in this world today. Communists are on an invading, pressure campaign. We need to protect our strong, free markets. God bless Singapore.

Wow! Finally, a well crafted speech by the opposition, good job pritam keep it up. The other oppositions and ex oppositions, you have been schooled!

Pritam possesses the aura of a PM.

well said pritam, future PM

Well said, Mr Pritam Singh👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻you hv our Respect.💪🏻😊💪🏻Thank you for speaking up boldly for us.

SALUTE MR PRITAM REALLY TRUELLY LOCAL BREED SINGAPOREAN SPEAKS N CARE FOR SINGAPOREAN.

This is why while Singaporeans in general don't oppose PAP as the ruling govt, we also cannot give them a supermajority.

Excellent speech.

with so many parliamentary videos released, only his speeches I am willing to listen to because he acknowledges and respect the electorate's intelligence and emotional comprehension. PAP MPs loves to push slogans that undermines the electorate's intellect

Well done WP. Great job in speaking up.

Bravo Pritam n WP ! By Singaporeans, For Singaporeans, and addressed the present sentiments of ALL Singaporeans. There's HOPE for Singaporeans and Singapore. MAJULLAH Singapura👋👋👋👍💪

Now my call to all those bricks batters and keyboard warriors, what have you done so far to hold your PAP MPs accountable for your vote of 2015? If you still wish to keeping for these anemic MPs then you cannot expect the same high standards you demand of Mr Singh when you do not do the same for Lily Neo, Louis Ng, Lee Bee Wah and not forgetting, Sitoh Yih Pin.

Well spoken, and i truly hope all opposition parties work together to safeguard the "silenced" minority. The older i get, the more i feel the pain of being the "silenced" 30%.

When WP comes to Woodlands to kick pap?

this is honestly one of the best speeches ive heard in this parliament

very impressed with his insightful and carefully constructed speech Hw speaks and acts like a true leader for Singapore 😊

Pritam Singh is World Class PM Quality. Unlike CODBUS Treatment, Pritam Singh would certainly be well received and Welcome.

Remember the Chinese educated was humiliated by the English policy

Bravo!! Pritam Singh. Well spoken n that is what Singaporean is seeking for PAP to take note n step in n wake up. Before it is way to late.

Singapore politics is not perfect , but has things been so bad for decades that it warrants a evolution of Singapore politics ?

endure until next GE...disappointed in PAP already...let DPM wong happy for a year or two...time to give opposition a vote...hope he can still have the title of DPM.

So WP are the original authors of certain policies ?

Maybe by next GE, SG is headed for a 2 party system. The PAP and WP would have to co-exist. MajuLah Singapura.

Well done

Whatever whenever whatsoever.... We strongly need an Opposition Party in the parliament.....

This video changed my life!!! Majulah Singapura!!

Balance of Power is a must ! Not just checking ! Change Of Government needed !

look at those bowed-heads at the G front bench, sinking into their seats. Million $ speech for million $ ministers.

PAP should be grateful of WP always there to watch and make sure they do their work. Going against an English test for immigration is going against what lee kuan yew (therefore singapore) stands for.

Recently in May 2023, The Online Citizen published an article of a whistle blower who reported about UNFAIR HIRING practices by CECAs in Singapore’s banking sector, people are angry n fed up, how can such thing be allowed? Our pioneer leaders worked damn hard and made huge sacrifices to instil meritocracy, ethics and integrity, these become redundant already is it? Very sad to say, it’s already too late, the damage n ravages will only get worse.

Look at the achievement, compare with any other country on earth. I have to say pap government is a great success story.

The govt do not need the opposition to chip away their trust. The many own goals that the govt scored with their disastrous actions like those during the pandemic is enough for people to lose trust in them. Blaming the opposition for exposing the mistakes as actions to chip away trust in govt is simply mindblowing.

Close down immigration coming from India.

To the Citizens, WP raised serious bread and butter issues but to the PM is advancing populist ideas. In 2025, I hope citizens voices can be heard by the PAP, loud and Clear.

Any criticism of the gov policies are indeed serious matters not for the government to take them as petty matters.

Come to Bedok Reservoir Condos and count the number of CECA. No need for statistics from anybody.

If Gov maintains what they are doing Now. Next Next generation will have to be cleaners for ( Foreign Singaporean ) irregardless of how many Degrees you have.

Evolution?? He spoken like American.. Talk talk talk and do nothing..

Superb speech.

Agree that Singapore deserve a 1/3 Alternative MP's to ensure the PAP does not PUSH any bills that are not in the interest of Spore n Sporeans, esp DETRIMENTAL to S'PORE.👍💪

If y’all Singaporeans need a change for Singapore,why still vote for PAP. Late LKY has passed it’s time for a change of government. we should vote for WP for a better future and i hope Pritam Singh will keep his words for Singaporeans and Singapore’s future.

While we should welcome discourse on this and note our maturity in doing so, I remain dismayed at the manner which many keyboard warriors hurled brickbats at Mr Singh that led me to wonder if they had met up with him or know him personally at any point of his political life? To begin with, do they even feel the pulse of the WP or Singapore Democratic Party for that matter?

I really hopr for a credible alternative voice for Singapore for my children. Howeevr, thud far, it has been rather disappointing. Nonetheless, I look forward that we, singapore, could progress to celebrate 100th nstion building.

Fully agreed with the idea of GP care based on enrolment This is something Australia recently adopted in a policy of MyMedicare. Your views are clinical sound and effective 😊

Great orator

Old man said we have no natural resources but we have capable and talented English Speaking Singaporeans, we went on to progress and prosper. COBUS Treatment degraded to No natural resources and no talents & lack of skills needing FTs + GST + Hikes + compulsory Medishield + 100K+ COE. Question is; What is relevant? Selling What and benefitting WHO? them?

Uncomfortable truth is, Anti foreigner = Anti business Singapore cannot afford it.

You know why I say Mandate is UnWise?

Governance is truly very very complex. How many I.Q. number is necessary for anyone who wish to become a LawMaker.

PS's speech was way better than LHL's speech.

During the FT debate, Mr Leong admitted that some segment of the society will view his stand of Ceca as racist. Don't mind me asking why did the wp not highlight this racial stand by Mr Leong and only to mention it now?

WP is in fact is serious about policies all these while. I must emphasise WP like all other parties do not discredit the existing government. What they are doing is to bring out alternatives which are most necessary in certain areas. I am asking that the current government stop criticisings instead. The decisions remain to be self righteous cannot be permanently stable.

What was the conclusion of his last lie?

Watch from 12:00 onward, good take! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WP has proved themselves to be a creditable opposition. While not all he said in this speech is true, especially the compounding of GST taxes(I would like to see how that works mathematically), taken as a whole, it is far better than most politicians in other advanced countries. Far ahead of PSP, which I feel PAP speech on populist politics was targeted at.

Grate People. 🙏

29:29 - In order to pass a Constitutional amendment with a 2/3 majority, the PAP needs 63 votes.

The quality of today's opposition has been raised by leaps and bounds. AND without a shadow of doubt, much better than those in white, including ministers.

2 behind Pritam looks BORED

Why must we go back to 60 years

While wards run by the People’s Action Party are swift to lavish praises on wayang speeches by the retired Inderjit Singh and existing Dr Lily Neo made eons ago, how much of them do you really intimately know, beyond those photographs of hugging elderly or appearing at community events? I have heard from Dr Neo’s former RC Chairwoman that she is not who she seems to be beyond those lenses. Dr Neo has since fallen from one of the most admired MPs to one who was almost splashed urine at and stabbed in 2014 by her own admission.

Are we that quick to forget how the WP MPs have held the fort high since winning by a razor-thin margin in 2015? They have voiced out vicariously on a range of hot button issues like the 38 Oxley Rd, Tampering of the Constitution, Test Ballooning of the GST before 2021 and last but not least, The Corruption Scandal of State-owned Keppel Corp. I distinctively recalled Mr Png Eng Huat chiding Indranee Rajah on the double standards of questioning and intimidation!

Singh For PM ❤

Cannot have serious policies because use of the lack of openness and transparency of the PAP government.

SINGAPOREAN for Singapore.....CONTINUE to fight for true Singaporeans!!

Nice ah become opposition. Only check and criticize the govt but the govt cannot even criticise them coz later their supporters will get very angry.

Imagine the impact of this headline in various countries such as Japan, China, Russia, Germany, Neighbouring SE Asia Countries, "Fast track to PR and Citizenship in Singapore for those who speaks good English".

U can say whatever you want 😏, none will be useful to PAP

The late Mr Lee Kuan Yew also said that whilst new immigrants are somewhat different from us, their children who are born and bred here will be like one of us. Whilst English proficiency is and should be one of the criteria, it should not carry a huge weightage as there are many other overriding considerations. In certain cases, it should even be given zero weightage.

The ruling party should not use parliamentary time to discredit the opposition. What both parties should do is present their options of how to solve Sg domestic problems and how to bring Sg to its future in view OG global challenges. They could cross examine each other’s proposals vigorously as no solution is perfect and they could bring about the best proposal foreword. Singaporeans are no simpletons. We can discern. We know the different global & domestic eras of our Pioneer & Merdeka generations, and the different routes and strategies SG needed to go through. Today, & near future SG faces much different global & domestic issues from the first 50 yrs of nation building. Our concerns which u hope the govt could help solve are : (1) the rising cost of living even at hawker centres & coffee shops (2) ridiculous rise in housing costs of public & private sectors without any effective controls / measures so far which are detriment to local Singaporeans and foreigners whom we need to supplement our talent & labour pool. (3) We need a total revamp of our HDB BTO, resale and rentals policies so that young couples could get their flats quickly with affordable prices. Many parents are aiding their children to pay the first 20% of their 1st HDB flats. Also retirees empty nesters should be allowed to rent out extra rooms for both short term within HDB stipulated terms & controlled prices (say minimum 5 days for bread & breakfast for budget tourists who wants to experience what’s like living like a local) & long term so as to earn recurring income and be useful. (4) make digital payments & platform more user friendly especially for Pioneer generations. At age 74 & above. (5) Healthcare cost is a great concern for Singaporeans. Govt should subsidize all medical consultations, treatments, diagnostic tests, services and medications, instead of restricting to a list of subsidized items for all Singaporeans. As for PRs maybe they could only enjoy 30% - max 50% of citizens subsidies. (6) PRs & Citizenship applications - we need them from all walks & status of employment. Our 58 yrs of History shown many came to Sg (especially from neighboring countries) and become citizens. Many started from zero became successful and they make a living for themselves, their family and contributed to Sg. They pass on these great values of Singapore to their kids who in turn take Sg to next future level.

The global politics and economy is changing from the last 50 years of PAP governance. The LKY blueprint cannot bd totally relevant for Singapore development and progress moving forward. It need to be reviewed to improve outdated policies and philosophy. The culture of woke and leftists battle with rightist group in the west are fierce and somewhat destructive to society. Our system of government cannot remain extreme in imposing socialist governance. There should be social welfarism to look after the less fortunate as the wealth gap widen and become victims of tsunami of technology sweeping the world. Many people have been left behind while foreign talents and labourer were inducted into the country economic development in huge nos. These less fortunate locals were unprepared with highly skilled talent being deprived by a system of free expression and choice to determine their own future. The current system of education of children are to steer them into various sectors of businesses determined by the government. This is a narrow approach in today’s global economy. Apart from financial assistance scheme there should be open environment, freer platforms and ample unrestrictive opportunities for local enterprise to flourish. Locals have been stifled and suppressed creating a population of people deprived of creativity, genuine resilience and resourcefulness. Much more need to revamp the system to put citizens interest first and redirect their rights. Apart from government where there role is to create opportunity while relying on people to make progress from the opportunities. Time to change fir PSO to work with the people not applying a outdated policy of being authoritarian and talking down to the people. If this persist Singapore will fail. Fissures are showing.

You are a legend sir. You have spoken the exact words of those borned in the 80s here. Respect boss

Grt singh👍

You mean like one party doesn't get 80% of the popular vote & doesn't rule since independence? Roll on the floor sighing.......

Cannot tahan liao 😂 That man behind keeping dozing off 😂

I can’t believe it, so many highly educated and highly paid MPs yet no solution for CECA? Only know how to say opposition hv no solution, come here waste ministers time ask useless questions. This type of arrogant attitude, instead of listening and work together to solve problems, is frustrating viewers.

if found guilty, he will be disqualified

Very clear.....ya why fear Sg people not mature. We have tolerated thus far so releasing information don't change that. Important is those new immigrants must agree and accept English language to integrate. WP is positive and interactive. Seems Pritam never did not choose avoidance but replied succinctly.

Singapore how to make he does support kalistanis in Singapore Because these always they are too smart. Cid should scree😢every skih coming in from abroad.

WP boleh...

Pritam Singh = New PM

Without foreigners pap ministers cannot earn millions

Not in jail yet?

The moment you see the title of this video. 😅

When 24th April is a very something that i would like to interfere because of people's money...
