国人为先的宣言
November 7, 2014 at 3:25pm
公平社会，坚强家庭，自信人民
人民是重要的,他们是国家的灵魂.但经历了50年不停的追求经济增长,新加坡人现已变成次要了.国家已丢失了灵魂.因此,我们需要一个新的愿景来把新加坡人置在国家的核心上.这个愿景是公平社会,坚强家庭,自伩且髙度自尊的人民.

这就是新加坡囯人为先的愿景.

公平社会
在平等的社会里,每个新加坡人都将有各自选择的事业而又能够获得最好的成功机会,若他们不能如愿以偿,社会也不会遗忘他们.这意味着我们认为各种不同奖励将依据他们的优点,天分和刻苦工作时的付出,给于回报.他们对工作,医疗保健,教育,住房和交通工具的各种主要基本须求时,給于提供.
执政行动党的精英政策已使新加坡成为一个财冨与收入极大不均的高度分岐社会,贫富悬殊的再扩大和已缩减的中产阶级的収入被挤压在其中.另一方面,新加坡也成为世界上生活费最昂贵的城市,国民也面对了昂贵的住房无奈选择,昂贵的医疗保健费,高价和不可靠的公共交通,以及昂贵的私人补习费来弥补正统学校的课程不足.与此同时,社会上大多数新加坡人的实际工资已下降或停滞了,使到很多的家庭难于应付.
我们将把重造社会的政策使我们变成经济增长的主人翁,而不是奴隶.我们对经济增长的追求之前会先把人民的利益和康乐思维投入进去.我们将创出一个公平的社会以新的政策振兴经济和安置就业,提供工作与合理工资作好准备.同时,我们在医疗保健,教育,住房和交通方面将全面地和极大地加强福利事业.另一方面,我们目前的税收体制是高度不公平的.公司和个人的税率是低的,但征收我们的间接税是特別的高.一个累进税系统是个公平的税收系统,因为它将允许境况较好的公司及个人,回报过去所得到好处.然而,既使当我们增加社会庞大开支时我们也預测不会在往后十年内会有任何征税需要.反而,我们将除掉消费税GST.因会GST是提高我们基本生活费的显著因素.它给中产阶級和低收入的新加坡人带来不合理的负担。GST消除后，我们也不需要征收新税来补偿GST收入的损失.

经济体制
我们将更换新加坡的经济体制,这是为了使我们能更加好好的使用国家有限之土地和人力.我们对跨国公司和外国劳方的高依赖性已有50 年之久了.因此,我们要积极开发自己的本土经济潜能而 [就地取材] 来培养我们的企业家,经理,专家,工程师,技术专家和熟练工人.
我们将调整经济结构使它较不依赖于便宜的低熟练的外国劳工,因为依赖外国劳工降低我们的工作水平,降低整体生产力,承受低技巧产业并且使人口过度拥挤.因此,我们将检討是否需要发给非常有利的外籍工人配额给于高度依赖外籍工人的某些产业, 这特别待遇是对其他产业是不合理的,并且扭曲我们的人力政策.例如,造船厂雇用10万（100,000）个外籍工人但它的劳工总数只是12万（120,000）.我们应该也对促进危害风俗习惯并且毁坏家庭产业表示质疑.赌博娱乐场对社会与家庭的代价是否值得呢? 在娱乐和食品饮料領域他们也大量依赖低熟练的外国劳工,虽然对国民生产总值有供献,但不会增加我们的社会进步或改善有利技能进展.

我们将安置特别优先权来开发本地企业,例如,中小企业发展成为主要区域或全球性企业.我们将以开发资本提供津贴给这些企业来协助他们勇于突破新的領域,特别是在高科技产业.我们的年轻国人即萌芽的企业家将欢迎创造性的产业.教育和医疗保健是两个領域能长期持续下去的.我们的中小企业可用他们的专业技术来开发这些领域.我们应该可以积极的帮助他们通过审閱工业工厂和空间销售和租赁政策来克服高企业费用的问题.我们的计划和土地分配政策是否倾向于房东和大厦拥有者,使到我们的出租费用继续上涨而又未经检查呢? 令人鼓舞的工业房地产归属政策是否导致高租金?
本地企业必须鼓励去制定优先权给于新加坡人在就业上横跨所有領域,特别是专家经理执行技术等人员(PMET)和资深管理级别的职位.若新加坡人没拥有该项专业技能,我们便可以雇用拥有该技能的外国人.政联公司应该开始趋向注册更多新加坡人的执行委员和管理的位置.
我们要检討在政策上为什么新加坡人与外国职员比较时会处于不利的地位.一项特殊政策是新加坡人的国民服役职责.50年已过,隨着科技的进展和新的组织方法和训练,現在是回顾两年的国民服役和每年预备军训练的时候,我们认为两年的国民服役和每年预备军训练時間可以缩短,以便让新加坡人在工作场所上处于有利的地位.

凝聚力坚强的家庭
对于经济劳动力持续不足问题的根本解决方案是提高妇女的生育率.这可从大约1.2提高到高于2.0.我们必须要大量降低家庭费用使到更多孩子能通过授予更多和更大的儿童津贴及提供从学前到大学的免费教育.我们也应该大量津贴多开办托兒所.

母亲为了照料孩子也不应该牺牲自己的事业.工作地点也不应该远离家庭.我们要达到的目的是把工作和服务地点拉近到住家去.因此办公室,工场,学校,学前教育所,诊所,医院,健身俱乐部,戏院,商店应该位于社区,以便母亲们可以在15分钟内抵达地点.这社区建设计划应该普及新加坡各地区,以便母亲们来回住家的路程可以减到最低,再也不需要奔波.灵活的运作安排配合家庭主妇和活跃乐龄的需要 –我们就可以更好组织起来完善它.

我们将提供大量的资金重新开发我们现有的住宅区和改观成焕然一新的住所,使家人在生活和工作上能分享来自住家附近的娱乐与服务及充满活力的独立性社区. 我们将采取一个新的方法估计公共业务机构的效率和有效性,例如学校,育儿中心,诊所,医院和老人院.他们不只是根据内部费用演算去评估效率和有效性,更重要是这些机构有没有在社区內提供给居民所关心和便利的事項.

这些新的措施将使更多主妇和活跃乐龄参与工作从而直接解决劳动力不足的问题. 在较长的时期内,隨着生育率政策的改进,将使本地資源更稳定下来,而我们也不需要依靠人口白皮书里所设想的无止境供应外籍員工.

我们可以开发成一个健全又有国际竞争力但没有高度依赖外国劳方的经济体制,例如丹麦和芬兰这两个国家,他们的人口与新加坡的5百万大约相似.

自尊的国人
[Kiasu] 或 [怕输] 之思路对心脏和灵魂都是不好的.它妨碍我们已向前迈进的步伐.新加坡人为何怕输而缺乏自尊而受到如此大的压力,使我们獲得了三项不名誉的声誉 – 那就是世界上最受压力,最不快乐和最少情感的人民?为什么新加坡人害怕失败呢? 这也许失败在新加坡是要付出沉重的经济和社会代价.新加坡政府没有提供援助的社会安全网,一旦人失去工作,他就失去一切–没有失业保险.没有医疗保健.退休时没有足夠储款.因此使到情绪没有安全感和自尊心被降下的感觉.

一个强有力的安全网将防止新加坡人落入绝望,羞辱和不安宁的心情.这个安全网必须有三个前提:

• 真正付得起使全民能获得全面性医疗保健的保险,
• 失业保险金
• 养老金（因为CPF 退休金不足夠）
  

国家以50年所积累起来的庞大财务盈余便可以提供给新加坡一个强大的安全网,使新加坡人能远离怕输的阴影,而把国人变成为一个有自信又有高自尊的民族。它将点燃在新加坡人的创造性火花上，并且更换国人成为充满新的创新想法来改造与改进社会.

我们有足夠的資源和义务来重创新加坡人成为新的有雍容,自信和尊严的民族.

我们是国人为先.



Our Manifesto
November 7, 2014 at 3:23pm
Fair Society, Strong Families and Esteemed People
People are important. They are the soul of a nation. For the past 50 years, Singaporeans have become secondary to the relentless pursuit of economic growth. The nation has lost its soul. We need a new vision that puts Singaporeans at the heart of the nation. The vision of a fair society with strong families and a confident people with high self-esteem. The vision of Singaporeans First.

A Fair Society
In a fair society, every Singaporean will have the best possible chance to succeed in his chosen field and no Singaporean will be left behind if he fails to do so. We believe in a system of differential rewards based on merit, talent and hard work. At the same time, we are also committed to ensuring that the basic needs of jobs, healthcare, education, housing and transport are met.
The elitist policies of the PAP have turned Singapore into a highly divided society with extreme inequalities of wealth and income between the rich and the poor and a shrinking middle class squeezed in between. Singapore has now become the most costly city in the world. Singapore citizens are faced with expensive housing options, high healthcare costs, unreliable and expensive public transport, and a system of education that encourages families to supplement school curriculum with private tuition at great expense. Meanwhile real wages have fallen or virtually stagnated for large groups of Singaporeans, making it difficult for many families to cope.

Singaporeans First will remake society with policies that turn us into masters, not slaves, of economic growth. We will always put the interests and well-being of people first before the pursuit of economic growth. We will create a fair society with new policies to rejuvenate the economy and generate good jobs that pay fair living wages. At the same time, we will strengthen welfare services comprehensively and significantly in healthcare, education, housing and transport. Our current tax regime is highly regressive with low corporate and personal income taxes on the one hand, and high indirect taxes on the other. A progressive tax system is more equitable and fair as it will allow the better off to repay, through higher taxes, benefits received from others. However we do not envisage any need for it in at least the next ten years even when we increase social spending substantially. Instead we will make our tax system less regressive by removing the Goods and Services Tax. The GST imposes an unfair burden on middle and lower income Singaporeans as it raises their basic cost of living significantly.  We do not see the need to impose new taxes in other areas to make up for the loss of the GST revenue.

The Economy
We will transform the economy to make better use of our limited resources of land and people. After 50 years of high dependence on multinational corporations and foreign labour, it is time that we “grow our own timber” by developing our own talent pool of local entrepreneurs, managers, professionals, engineers, technical specialists and skilled workers.

We will restructure the economy by making it much less dependent on cheap low-skilled foreign labour as it depresses our wage levels, lowers overall productivity, sustains low skill industries and adds to over-crowding. We will review the need to give very favourable foreign worker quotas to certain industries that are highly dependent on foreign workers; this special treatment is unfair to other industries and distorts our manpower policies. For example, shipyards employ 100,000 foreign workers out of a total workforce of 120,000. We should also question the desirability of promoting industries that harm social mores and destroy families. Are casinos worth the price in terms of costs to society and families? They also depend significantly on low skilled foreign labour in the entertainment and food & beverage sectors. They may contribute to the GDP but do not add to our social advancement or the development of wholesome skill sets.

We will place high priority on developing our local enterprises, for example, the small and medium enterprises into major regional or global firms. We will aim to provide grants for development capital to these enterprises to help them strike out into new areas especially in the high tech industry. Creative industries will appeal to our young and budding entrepreneurs. Two sectors that are sustainable over the long term are education and healthcare. Our SMEs can develop their expertise in these areas. We should be aggressive in helping them overcome the problem of high business costs by reviewing the sale and rental policy of industrial factories and space. Have our planning and land allocation policies favoured the landlords and building owners such that our rental costs continue to rise unchecked? Has the policy of encouraging ownership of industrial property resulted in high rental?

Local enterprises must be encouraged to give priority to the employment of Singaporeans across all sectors but particularly at PMET and senior management levels. Foreigners should only be hired where specialist skills are missing in Singaporeans. Government-linked companies should start the trend by enrolling more Singaporeans in the executive and management positions.
We should review policies that put Singaporeans at a disadvantage compared to foreign staff. One particular policy is the national service obligation of Singapore men. After 50 years, it is time to review the two-year national service period in light of technological progress and new organisational methods and training. Can the national service obligation and annual reservist training be shortened meaningfully so that our Singaporean men are not disadvantaged in the workplace?

Strong Families
The ultimate solution to the persistent problem of manpower shortage is to raise the fertility rate from about 1.2 to well above 2. We must reduce substantially the costs to families of having more children by granting more and bigger child allowances and providing free education from pre-school to university. Childcare facilities should be heavily subsidised.

Caring for children should not be at the expense of a mother’s career. Work should not take too much time away from the family. This can be achieved if jobs and services are available near home. Hence offices, workshops, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, clinics, hospitals, health clubs, cinemas, shops should be located in the community so that they can be reached within 15 minutes. These facilities should be decentralised throughout Singapore so that criss-cross travelling can be minimised and women do not need to travel far from home. Flexible working arrangements can be better organised to accommodate the needs of housewives and active seniors.

We will provide the substantial funds needed to redevelop existing housing estates and transform them into vibrant self-contained communities where families live, work and play with jobs, services and entertainment provided near their homes. We will adopt a new method to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of public service agencies such as schools, childcare centres, clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. They will be judged not solely by internal cost calculations but more importantly, by how well they provide for the care and convenience of residents in the community.
These new measures will enable more housewives and active seniors to join the workforce and provide immediate relief to the problem of manpower shortage. In the longer term, the vastly improved fertility rate will result in a more socially stable source of manpower for the economy instead of relying on an unending supply of foreign workers as envisaged in the misguided Population White Paper.  We can develop a robust and internationally competitive economy without a high dependence on foreign labour as many countries have shown, for example Denmark and Finland, both of which have a similar population size of around 5 million as Singapore.

Esteemed People
A kiasu mentality is bad for both the heart and the soul. It holds us back from venturing forth with spontaneity and audacity. What makes Singaporeans so kiasu, so lacking in self-esteem, so stressed up that we “earn” the triple dubious reputations of being the most stressed, the unhappiest and the least emotional people in the world?  It is the fear of failure because failure in Singapore exacts a heavy economic and social price. There is no social safety net of any significance to provide assistance. Once a person loses a job, he loses everything – no unemployment insurance, no healthcare, no savings for retirement. All this adds to the emotional insecurity and a lowered sense of self-esteem.

A strong safety net will prevent Singaporeans from falling into insecurity, despair and indignity. This safety net must have three basic elements namely

• truly affordable universal and comprehensive healthcare insurance,
• unemployment insurance and
• an old age pension provided by the state outside of the inadequate CPF.
  

With massive financial surpluses accumulated in the last four to five decades, Singapore can provide this strong safety net and turn Singaporeans away from kiasu-ness to become a confident people with high self-esteem. It will ignite the creative spark in Singaporeans and transform us into an innovative people brimming with new ideas to change and improve the world around us.
We have the means and the responsibility to reinvent Singaporeans into a new class of people with grace, self-assurance and dignity.

We are Singaporeans First.

无须细阅，一听名字就感觉没什么前途。难道你们的志向只局限于一弹丸小岛？ 国人为先，又怎能体现出对辛勤工作的外籍人才、劳工等，对新加坡的繁荣不可或缺的非国人的尊重？貌似此论坛的会员基本是外籍人，在这里宣扬Singaporeans First 是何用意呢？

无须阅读，一听名字就感觉没什么前途。难道你们的志向只局限于一区区小岛？ 国人为先，又怎能体现出对辛勤 ...

谢谢你给予我机会解释。 此论坛也有好一些‘新移民’，他们已放弃了中国国籍，而选择了入籍新加坡。他们有好一些对我们的政党并不熟悉。

以下是国人为先党的文宣，供大家参考。


中文翻译是我个人为方便大家而弄的。一切仍以英文的文稿为准。我与国人为先党不为中文翻译文稿的错误而负责。

1 Is SingFirst anti-foreigner or anti-immigration?
国人为先党是否是个反外国人与反移民的政党？

We are not anti-foreigners nor anti-immigration.
We recognize they play an important role in the economy.
But we do not want any Tom, Dick or Harry to come in with ease and in such big numbers.
We are for responsible immigration, not zero immigration.
In our pursuit of economic growth, we must be fair to Singaporeans and not discriminate against them in terms of job placement,
wage levels and space. We make no apology that we advocate giving priority to citizens; every country does it except Singapore.

我们不排外，也不反移民。
我们认识到他们在经济里所发挥了的重要作用。
但是我们不希望大批的外地人轻松来去。
我们要的是有责任，有策略的移民政策。
在追求经济增长，我们必须公平对待新加坡人而不是在就业机会，工资水平，歧视他们。
我们坦然，我们主张公民优先;
世界各国主张公民优先，除了新加坡。


3 What does SingFirst want to achieve for Singaporeans?
国人为先党要为新加坡人追求些什么？

We want to ensure that Singaporeans are not discriminated nor disadvantaged by a liberal immigration policy
but are given a fair and equal chance to get jobs at fair wages.
We will help Singaporeans raise strong and happy families by providing firstly, generous allowances to children up to the age of six,
secondly, free education from primary school to university,
and thirdly, to enable mothers to continue working by building self-contained communities with jobs and services
(like childcare centres, polyclinics, hospitals, schools, shops, cinemas) close to homes.

We want Singaporeans to become confident people with high self-esteem
by providing a strong social safety net that will take away their fear of failure
when they venture forth with spontaneity, audacity and creativity.

我们希望确保新加坡人不会在一个宽松的移民政策国度里，遭受歧视。
新加坡人能在一个公平和平等的机治上，获得就业机会，公平的待遇。
我们会帮忙新加坡人组织幸福美满的家庭。我们会提供
1. 大方的小孩津贴，至孩童6岁，
2. 提供从小学至大学的免费教育，
3. 创造一体的社区 （如托儿中心，综合诊所，医院，学校，商店，电影院），以便母亲们能在附近的家园也有工作就业的机会。

我们也希望新加坡人能更充满自信且有较高的自尊。
我们将通过提供一个强大的社会安全网，消除新加坡人在冒险，开创事业的当儿对失败的恐惧


4 What are the elements of your proposed strong social safety net?
你所倡议的一个强大的社会安全网的要素有哪些？

A heavily subsidised universal and comprehensive healthcare insurance, unemployment benefits/insurance,
old-age pension in addition to CPF, gradual removal of GST, significant transport fare concessions,
free education from primary school to university, monthly cash allowances for children up to age 6 in addition to existing baby bonus
and other benefits to promote births.

-大量津贴一个全面性的医疗保险，
-失业福利与保险制度
-不仅公积金，也有养老保险。
-逐步的取消消费税，
-更大的交通票价优惠，
-提供免费教育，小学至大学。
-为提高婴儿出生率，不仅发放婴儿花红，6岁以下的孩童也能每月获得现金津贴。



5 Where are you getting the funds to provide these welfare benefits? Will they not bankrupt the country?
你能在哪里取得资金以提供这一些福利?它可否会导致国家破产?

These benefits will be financed by the annual return from investment of our reserves.
Existing law allows the government to spend up to half of the total return on our reserves.
In the last few years, the amount allotted to the national budget for this purpose was $8 billion per annum.
Our proposed social safety net costs less than this annual amount. Hence it will not bankrupt the country.
我们的储备投资年收益能资助这些社会福利。
现行法律允许政府花费高达一半储备的总回报率。
在过去的几年中，用于此目的金额是每年国家预算里的$80亿。
我们所提出的社会安全网的成本低于此年度金额。因此，这一些不会导致国家破产。



6 How is your approach to economic and social development different from the PAP?
你对经济社会发展的处理方法与人民行动党会有什么不同？

The PAP approach is to achieve maximum economic growth with little consideration for moral well-being
(such as promoting casinos) or for displacement of Singaporeans from their jobs and depression of their wages
(as with a liberal foreign worker policy), and then use part of this GDP growth to finance subsidies for lower income groups.

人民行动党的做法是尽量取得最大的经济增长，为此他们很少会考虑到个人的道德福祉
（如引进赌场），即便新加坡人的工作岗位被替代或薪资受压抑。
（基于一个宽松的外籍员公的政策）。然后用这个GDP增长的一部分来资助对低收入群体的补贴。

Our approach is to provide a strong social safety net while generating economic growth at the same time
and not after jobs have been taken away from Singaporeans, their wages depressed or their morals compromised.
Hence we will help disadvantaged Singaporeans while we pursue economic growth concurrently rather than
help them only after economic growth has been achieved. Our heart comes together with the head but PAP’s heart appears
only after it has reared its ugly head.

我们的做法是在促进经济增长的当儿，也提供一个强大的社会安全网。
而不是在国人已失去工作，工资已受压抑，道德以受伤害之后，才亡羊补牢。

因此，我们将会是在追求经济增长的同时，也扶持弱势新加坡人，而不是在经济达标之后才帮助。
我们会不时关爱，反之人民行动党的怜悯只在事件发生以后才产生。



7 Is SingFirst a party of the left or right of centre?
国人为先党是一个左倾，右倾或是个中心政党。

We are neither left nor right but a party of the centre.
Parties on the left believe in having high taxes to finance generous welfare benefits for the people
while the right wants low taxes to encourage investment and effort but does not believe in a strong social safety net
as they think it will demotivate workers and make them lazy.

Singaporeans First takes the best of the left and right namely, a strong social safety net and a low tax regime.
We are a centre party.

我们既不左也不右，是个中心政党。
左派人士倡议高税收以资助，提供一个慷慨的人民福利制度，
相反的，右倾人士倡议低税收，以鼓励投资与个人的努力付出，右派不相信一个强大的社会安全网，因为他们认为这将抑制工人的上进心，使他们懒惰。
国人为先党采用两派之美，即一个强大的社会安全网与一个低税收制度。我们是一个中心党。

小小01

我们文明交锋， 试想有哪些国人不愿国人为先呢？ 中国人在中国的国土里，难道也不渴求国人为先吗？

露露XD

冰冻三尺非一日之寒，要想改变新加坡人外表冷漠、自负和排外，其实心底里缺乏自信、缺乏自尊和没有安全感，是需要几代人的努力的。

小小01

倘若以往你一直有追看我们总理每年的国庆群众大会， 你不难发觉近几年的大反向的改变，更傾向个福利国。主因是我们国人已开始认同国会里的另一把声音将更能推动国家政策的完善改进与改善。李总理今年的群众演讲好一些事是针对国人为先党于2014 年所发表的创党宣言里国人所面对的民生课题。来界又将会是人民行动党执政，这是不争的事实。然它的得票率的多寡将左右他将来行政的大方针。仔细聆听国人为先党的宣言， 且珍惜你手中的选票，为你与你子女的将来，投下神圣的一票。

为何新移民不会考虑执政党以外的政党呢？

露露XD

既然你都说了近几年的大方向的改变，说明执政党一直在努力寻求众人的福祉，那我们为什么不支持政府？

你既然了解总理的心声，你们应该解散反对党转而投身PAP才对呀。

请大家使用正确的言论，不许漫骂。

各政党有他们的竞选宣言，只要不是非法言论，我们应尊重。

那个政党对新移民有利，我相信大家心里有数，自有判定。
