I am thinking that it will most likely be after the NKF problem is solved and most Singaporeans are happy with it. PAP definitely won't want to play with fire.
Solving the NKF problem is probably their top priority now to win the people's votes. -

Ministerial panel on low wage workers to present report early next year
The Manpower Ministry said the Ministerial Committee on low wage workers was in the final stages of its deliberation on measures to assist them and its report was expected early next year.
The panel, announced earlier this year by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, is looking into the challenges face by low wage workers.
Touching the People: that is what Mr Lee's government has been doing through various schemes in the past year.
And one challenge which Singapore is facing is the widening income gap.
While this trend cannot be reversed, the government says what can be done is to help lower income Singaporeans keep up and find new opportunities.
PM Lee Hsien Loong said: "As the economy picks up people will feel where is my share, so this is just to remind everybody that firstly things are getting better and secondly we are seeing to everybody."
Singapore has some 240,000 full-time workers who currently earn a thousand dollars or less.
Many of them are older or less educated and their incomes have not risen as fast as those of other Singaporeans in the past 5 years.
So the Prime Minister has emphasised that Singapore must prevent an underclass from forming and growing as that would undermine and fracture the country's social cohesion.
He said it was a multi-faceted problem with no quick and easy solutions and would require a comprehensive effort.
Last June, Mr Lee launched the S$500 million ComCare Fund so that the disadvantaged can help themselves through new programmes and by enhancing existing ones.
And he also tossed up the idea of a special workfare bonus targeted at the low income baby boomers in their 40s and 50s.
Lim Swee Say, NTUC Deputy Secretary General, said: "Low wage workers are low wage workers for different reasons. What we can do is come up with various options."
"For those who are already at the workplace and do not have the skills and the jobs that are able to pay them to pay them higher salaries, we find ways to upgrade the skills, redesign the job, so that hopefully, more and more of the low wage workers of today can be a higher wage worker of tomorrow."
But it's not only the government, employers and unionists who are helping the needy level up in society.
President S R Nathan too has been playing his part through the President's Challenge.
He was sworn in on September 1st for a second six-year term after he was returned unopposed on Nomination Day.
Singaporeans also paid tribute to their country's past Presidents, two of whom passed away this year.
The late Dr Wee Kim Wee, who was fondly called the People's President, died in May while Dr Wee's predecessor, Mr C V Devan Nair, who was instrumental in shaping today's NTUC and a founder of the Peoples Action Party, passed away in Canada in December. - CNA/ch -
More Goodies coming!
Early election is looking likely as US economy is starting to look uncertain for the 2nd half of 2006. Think they might just rush it. -
Past measures were so far not implemented successfully and they now keep talking about taking some more measures.
If they really are effective as leaders, they should keep their words over economic restructuring started some time ago by LHL so that there will be no need to keep announcing more new policies.
It is so ironic that before they fulfill the past promises they keep coming up with newe promises>
Who will believe the new announcements now into the next election? -
I definitely hope that there will not be any more walkovers, or at least, the number of walkovers reduced.Originally posted by zaxis:not necessary
