BRIEF
The Government has established that multi-racialism is a fundamental tenet of Singapore society and that it is necessary to ensure minority representation in Parliament.
The Group Representation Constituency (GRC) Scheme was incepted to uphold multi-racialism by guaranteeing minority representation in Parliament.
However, the GRC Scheme hinders political competition, fortifies the incumbents and works against democracy.
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.
In this paper, we shall explain how the CRM Scheme works.
The CRM Scheme will be as effective as the GRC Scheme to ensure a multi-racial Parliament but without exacting the heavy price on democracy as the GRC Scheme does.
