Tanveen Vohra will continue her effort to expand and reform affordable health care access for every Singaporean. She is cognizant that a better healthcare system is essential to brave through the soon and coming period of the aging population. Today, the government is raising GST from 7% to a 9% to provide enough for subsidized healthcare. Tanveen believe that there are other ways to provide low cost healthcare without increasing the tax burden on Singaporeans.

​

As Prime Minister, Tanveen will: 

​

• Reduce ministerial salaries by 50%:  

According to the 2017 review of ministerial salaries, ministerial salaries are proposed to increase by 9% in 2018. Singapore’s ministerial pay is said to be the highest as compared to world leaders across the world. Instead of increasing the taxes of our citizens, I promise to ensure that the salary framework of the ministers remains appropriate and aligned with their performance. I promise to reduce ministerial salaries accordingly and reallocate funds into quality universal healthcare benefits for all.

​

With more budget allocated to health care, more community health centers and funding can be provided to support the aging population.
