SINGAPORE: The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) criticized the government’s decision to raise the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as “uncompassionate,” according to party chief Leong Mun Wai, who emphasized the timing of the hikes amidst ongoing economic struggles. Leong challenged assertions from Law Minister K Shanmugam regarding the equitable nature of the GST, arguing that the policy disregards the current difficulties faced by Singaporeans. During a campaign event, he received a warm reception from the public, reflecting a positive engagement as the PSP prepares for upcoming elections.
