ELECTORAL REFORM PROPOSAL:
CONSTITUENCY RESERVED FOR MINORITY SCHEME
Dear Members of the Media
INVITATION TO ATTEND PRESS CONFERENCE
Date: Wednesday, 2 July 2014
Time: 7.45pm to 9.30pm
Place: NSP HQ 297 Jalan Besar Singapore 209007
Programme:
1. Presentation of NSP’s Electoral Reform Proposal – The Constituency Reserved for Minority Scheme
2. Question & Answer Session
BRIEF:
A. The Group Representative Constituency (GRC) Scheme was incepted to uphold multi-racialism by guaranteeing minority representation in Parliament.
B. However, the GRC Scheme hinders political competition, fortifies the incumbents and works against democracy.
C. NSP proposes that the GRC Scheme be abolished, the nation reverts to single member constituencies and the Constituency Reserved for Minority (CRM) Scheme be implemented.
D. The CRM Scheme will be as effective as the GRC Scheme to ensure a multi-racial Parliament but without exacting the heavy price on the democratic process as the GRC Scheme does.
If you wish to attend, please email me at secgen@nsp.sg and I will send you an embargoed copy of our CRM Paper for your review ahead of the Press Conference.
Warm regards
