NCMP Leong Mun Wai: Racism has no place in our thinking, on CECA remarks by Minister K Shanmugam

NCMP Leong Mun Wai reiterated in Parliament that the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) is not racist or xenophobic and is merely stating the concerns of Singaporeans who claim to have suffered under free-trade agreements. He said this after replying to Minister K Shanmugam in an exchange in Parliament, where Mr Leong was challenged to table a motion to debate the CECA free-trade agreement between Singapore and India. PSP's Central Executive Committee later released a statement saying the party is categorically against racism: https://www.facebook.com/progresssingaporepartyofficial/posts/1637446119785628 Watch the full exchange between NCMP Leong and Minister Shanmugam here.

All citizens, regardless of race, religion, language, gender, place of origin, or socioeconomic status, are treated equally and with respect, and given equal opportunities in all areas of work. We envision a compassionate Singapore, committed to reducing income inequality and readily rendering a helping hand to fellow countrymen or women who encounter calamities, disabilities, or illnesses requiring costly or prolonged treatment. We envision a progressive Singapore which values diverse opinions and ideas, built on the foundations of accountability, transparency, and independence of the three branches of government – the Parliament, the Civil Service, and the Courts. 我们的愿景 宽仁为怀与国家在团结中前进 团结一致的新加坡 我们展望团结一致的新加坡并且基于包容性与非歧视的理念。所有国民, 无论种族, 言语，宗教，性别, 出生地与社会经济背景, 务必一视同仁, 同等对待与尊重。与此同时, 在所有工作领域中, 国人应享有较平等的工作机会。 我们展望一个宽容为怀的新加坡，致力于减少收入不平等，并随时为遇到灾难，残疾或需要昂贵或长期治疗的疾病的同胞们提供援助。 我们展望一个重视不同观点和多样化想法且不断进步的新加坡。政府的三个部门 – 议会，公务员以及法院都必须建立在问责制，透明度和独立性的基础上。 #PSPSG #ProgressSingaporeParty #ProgressWithCompassion
