As PAP Moves Economically Left, Should the Right Worry?

Sometimes we feel like our leaders of the day do not listen to us, they push through policies that we may not like. But since 2011, many new policies like increasing property taxes, foreign labour quotas, raising income tax on the highest earners, supercar taxes, CPF life and increasing housing and family support all points to the PAP shifting economically “left”, albeit secretly.

Is this the nation we want? Is the PAP finally listening to us and is experiencing a “moral awakening” ?

On today’s episode, we sit down with Founder of Singapore’s biggest “left” publication, RICE Media, Mark and Walid from Teh tarik with Walid (Singapore’s top political podcast) to discuss Singapore’s changing economic and social structure and how do we the lay Singaporean manuver the changing landscape?

The Financial Coconut started out as a reaction to online fake gurus who are propagating over simplified get rich quick programs. A Podcast that grew out of a desire to share best practices regarding personal finance turned into a network of content championing this idea of “Creating a life you love, while managing your finances well”.
