PRITAM SINGH: Cost of living issues do come up very, very often. And I think that's completely understandable. I mean, all of us can see the changes in terms of the sticker prices of items that we use on a day to day basis.

And of course, for the older generation-- many of those who are retired or may not be earning as much as they were before because they are in part time engagements or similar work arrangements-- they feel the pinch. You know, chicken rice from $3.00, $3.50, $4.00, $4.50. I mean, these things add up at the end of the month. And that's a very pressing issue.

We look at what is the fiscal situation of the government today and whether there's scope to actually enlarge that package. I think those are issues that we've already put to the government. And I will continue watching this space very closely.

PRITAM SINGH: I'm proud of the party. I'm proud how quickly we came together as one. And that's very important for a party like the Workers' Party to remember. Because if we are not united, and then you will have a problem engaging the public and being persuasive to be a voice and to represent the opposition interests in parliament effectively.
