  • BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23Rd January, 2006 by Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr
    BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23rd January, 2006 By Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. The Honourable Ralph Gonsalves INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members On December 7, 2005, the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines overwhelming re-elected the Unity Labour Party (ULP) to govern our magnificent country for another five-year term. The ULP secured a whopping 56 per cent of the valid votes cast and won 12 of the 15 seats. This landslide electoral victory was a massive endorsement of the ULP administration’s policies, programmes and performance. It is, too, a mandate for the ULP to consolidate, to refine, to deepen, and to extend its excellent work, policy framework and programmatic platform, as articulated in its Manifesto 2005, Better By Far! and the ULP Youth Manifesto 2005. A copy of each of these Manifestos was tendered as documents of this Honourable House during the recent debate on the 2006 Estimates. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the overall losers in the recently-concluded general elections unfairly maligned the sound reputation of our country and the good name of honest public officials and political leaders by falsely alleging that they — the overall losers — were in possession of “overwhelming evidence” of electoral fraud and electoral irregularities on a scale so large as to vitiate the verdict of the electorate. They falsely alleged that there was somehow a conspiracy of monumental proportions, involving election officials and the top brass of the Unity Labour Party, to steal the elections. They further alleged, falsely too, that the elections were in fact stolen and that they had the so-called “overwhelming evidence” to prove it all in the High Court by way of election petitions.

  • Mr Ng Chee Meng Acting Minister for Education (Schools), and Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Transport
    WELCOME REMARKS BY MR CHEW KWEE SAN, VICE-CHAIRMAN OF COMMUNITY CHEST AND CHAIRMAN OF SHARITY DAY 2016 SUB-COMMITTEE AT THE COMMUNITY CHEST SHARITY DAY 2016 FRIDAY, 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 AT 2.30PM Mr Ng Chee Meng Acting Minister for Education (Schools), and Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Transport Mr Mike Barclay Chief Executive Officer of Wildlife Reserves Singapore Mr Phillip Tan Chairman of Community Chest Distinguished guests, boys and girls, 1. A warm welcome to all of you at today’s Community Chest Sharity Day 2016. Thank you to our Guest-of-Honour Minister Ng for taking time off your busy schedule to join us today. We are delighted to have you here on this special day, organised by Community Chest and Wildlife Reserves Singapore Group (WRS), in celebration of Children’s Day and Sharity’s birthday. 2. We encourage young children to learn to interact with others with different abilities and lend a hand to those who need our help in the community. Sharity Day, as part of Community Chest’s efforts to nurture caring and sharing values in our young, is a wonderful opportunity for many of you from primary and special education schools to learn and have fun together. 3. Community Chest has also prepared a special musical for you. It is a story about Sharity and his animal friends, who are all different, but together, they can overcome challenges to win the jungle race. We will learn that all of us have different strengths, but we can succeed if we work as a team, and care for and share with one another.
