The sun is rising from the west? Will foresee a lot of nonsense coming up just before the next GE, and let see how our various ministries handle them. 😅

SINGAPORE - Singaporeans may soon get a new avenue to voice their concerns through a platform where petitions that garner 10,000 supporters will be submitted to the relevant ministries for review.

A prototype of the platform, known as PetitionsSG, has been up since January this year. Currently, petitions can be started and processed on the site, but nothing will be sent to the Government.

Senior software engineer Alwyn Tan at Open Government Products - the platform's developer - said in response to queries from The Straits Times that PetitionSG was created with the goal of empowering citizens to push for change and to connect the most important sentiments from the ground to ministries.

He was one of a team of five who worked on the project.

Open Government Products is an experimental development team within the GovTech which works on technology for the public sectors.

Should make a petition app, retrieve singpass details to make it genuine.

 I do not know where you are coming from, but there should be means to verify that those submitting the petition should not be from same organisation to prevent abuse of the system. Any mega church or groups could mobilise its members to do any petition of their liking through such means. Sort of preferential treatment.

I hope they are mobilised to petition against ebikes and PMDs and get them banned totally! Plus Bluebird Rental cars.

Unlike most of us who are NATO, gig operators go meet people session.

In the end, they win by taking the necessary steps and number.
