SINGAPORE - Bread-and-butter issues like CPF, jobs and housing matters continue to be important at the election even during the Covid-19 crisis, said Progress Singapore Party chief Tan Cheng Bock .
"Whatever things that happened in the past must not be pushed aside; they are equally important... Your CPF, your job or your housing matters, and all the other bread-and-butter issues.. we cannot push them aside. They are always there... It is how we are going to manage , and the management would depend on the environment."
He reiterated the PSP's stand that the election should not have been called in the first place in the midst of the pandemic. "Look at the way they've built our hospitals. So huge, and every hospital is linked to all the shopping centres and all. That is the worst thing that can happen," he said, arguing that such a design made it difficult to lock down.
