Progress Singapore Party (PSP) leader Tan Cheng Bock on Friday (July 3) gave his take on the debate on the 10 million population figure, saying the reason it has become a hot topic is due to a lack of transparency by the Government.
“If the data is not given to you, people will speculate… because they don’t know. You are not transparent with your data,” he told reporters while canvassing for votes in Chua Chu Kang GRC, which his party is contesting.
He also said that in principle, he would have no objection to the 10 million figure if the reasons given by the Government are “sound and logical”.
“Just tell us: we want the 10 million, and why. We need it because of this reason, we see it (this way),” he said, adding that people will then say “if it can or cannot (be done)”.
“But you’ve got to show us the data. Don’t give it to us in bits and pieces.”
Dr Tan, who is leading the PSP’s A-team to contest in West Coast GRC, was asked for his thoughts on the exchanges between the People’s Action Party and the Singapore Democratic Party, since Wednesday, over the 10 million figure.
