Budget 2026

MPs from the Workers’ Party celebrated the Budget 2026’s fiscal strength, but sought to ensure that it translated into structural support and social equity. We questioned the necessity for a GST hike in the face of a large surplus, argued for permanent income tax reforms over handouts, advocated for a human-centric AI strategy, pushed for greater accountability in R&D spending, and made the case for stronger worker protection and more robust support for local SMEs.

Speech by Eileen Chong On Economic Motion

Mr Deputy Speaker,‍ Last July, the Prime Minister noted that ASEAN's per capita GDP today is around six thousand dollars — and that if it reaches ten thousand or more, it is, in his words, a complete game changer. A young region. A rising middle class. On our doorstep.

Speech by He Ting Ru On Economic Motion

Mr Speaker, Post independence, we were razor-focused on pursuing economic growth as a young nation trying to stand on our own two feet, opening ourselves to foreign investment, connecting ourselves with networks of global trade, and providing fertile ground for businesses – both global and local – to flourish. This resulted in vast improvement of the quality of life for large swathes of our population, and for many, the promise of a better future for our next generation was a beacon of hope for which we worked towards.

Speech by Andre Low On Economic Motion

Mr Speaker,‍ The Economic Strategy Review is organised around workers adapting again and again. It proposes training, pathways and career bridges between jobs. It gives far less attention to the all-important first transition from education or National Service into stable work, and to whether young people get a fair start.

Speech by Jamus Lim On Economic Motion

Mr Speaker, I second the motion in the name of my honorable friend, Kenneth Tiong. I cannot agree more that we need both dynamic local companies and opportunities for businesses to succeed, which is why my contribution to this debate will focus on how we should wean ourselves away from the top-down, foreign investment-reliant, multinational corporation (MNC)-centric economic model, and instead build a bottom-up, domestic capital-led, small and medium enterprise (SME)-focused one. I will also weave in constructive critique on the recently-released Economic Strategy Review (ESR).

Speech by Louis Chua On Reforming Singapore's Public Transport System

Mr Speaker, world class infrastructure is not experienced in masterplans or at ribbon-cuttings. For the vast majority of Singaporeans, it is experienced at the bus stop downstairs, on the platform at the MRT station, in the daily journey to work and back home. It could be excellent service and smooth journeys, as articulated in the LTA’s service charter. Or it can be poor service and frustrating journeys if things don’t work well.
