III. Our Vision:
Our vision is to create a Singapore that takes care of all her sons and daughters, young and old. Our nation must be one where the people are free and bold, with a strong sense of achievement tempered by an equally fierce regard for compassion and justice.
As a nation, we must not only show tolerance but also acceptance of our fellow citizens regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or political persuasion. Discrimination of our fellow human beings has been one human frailty that has wreaked much destruction and misery.
The Singapore Democrats will endeavour to build our vision and, in doing so, turn our nation into a beacon of hope for one and all. Our manifesto below spells out clearly the alternative policies for our country:
- Establishing a free and democratic political system.
- Building a free market economy driven by the people, not the Government.
- Developing a more equitable distribution of income and wealth.
- Ensuring that the CPF system returns the savings to the people.
- Freeing the media.
- Reforming the education system.
- Fostering a caring and pluralistic society.
IV. SDP – Competent. Constructive. Compassionate.
