WP renews calls for new laws

THE Workers’ Party (WP) reiterated five policy ideas it had raised in previous years, citing the “opportune” backdrop of recent government discussions and the National Day Rally on Sunday.

In a statement on Friday, the WP renewed calls to introduce a minimum wage, a redundancy insurance scheme as well as anti-discrimination laws; review the public housing framework; and avoid a goods and services tax (GST) hike.
