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 Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Mr Speaker, in Mandarin please.I support the Bill. It will help us make progress on investigations related to this year’s haze. And it will let us act earlier in future, when there is a risk of haze, instead of waiting until the haze reaches us.

Speech by Andre Low On Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Mr Speaker, I believe many parents of young children shared my family’s relief when the haze finally dissipated over the last weeks. Finally, my daughter could once again run free outdoors. The haze forces similar decisions on us all. Parents have to decide whether their children should play outdoors. Older people weigh the risk of going out. A worker whose job keeps him outside has fewer options than someone who can close the windows and work from home.

Speech by Jamus Lim On Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Sir, I have not physically visited the hotspots in Indonesia that have given rise to the transboundary haze we are experiencing. But here is my understanding of what is occurring on the ground.

Speech by He Ting Ru On Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Mr Speaker, Yesterday I spoke about how we can work across sectors and borders to strengthen our efforts to tackle the haze and ensure clean air, and my speech today extends that discussion, along with raising some questions on the amendments tabled.

Speech by Gerald Giam On Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Mr Deputy Speaker,‍ Every time transboundary haze returns, Singaporeans endure burning throats, stinging eyes and disrupted routines. Yet, the commercial incentives driving this public health hazard remain unchanged.

Speech by Dennis Tan Lip Fong On Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amdt) Bill

Mr Speaker, I support the objectives of this Bill. Singapore cannot simply accept transboundary haze as a regular inconvenience. Haze has real consequences for public health, outdoor workers, schools, businesses and our quality of life. The recent haze episode and public concern have also reminded us that, despite years of regional cooperation and improvements, the underlying risks have not disappeared.

Speech by He Ting Ru On Adjournment Motion

Mr Speaker‍ For the last two months, Singapore has experienced the worst haze seen in over a decade. Like with previous haze episodes, this is not just natural phenomena. The haze this year is caused by slash-and-burn clearance and peatland fires, as was the case with many previous haze episodes. Exacerbating these conditions is a Super El Niño phase ultimately made worse by human-caused climate change.

Speech by Jamus Lim On Statutes Misc Amendments No 2

Sir, the rather pedestrian title of this Bill—Statutes and Miscellaneous Amendments Number 2—belies, as others have noted, the import of elevating energy into a core ministry function in the government.I will offer some thoughts on why I agree with taking energy even more seriously in our economy. I will move on to discuss some broad contours surrounding the future of one specific source of energy—nuclear—in our economy.

WP Statement on Reduction of Gas Exports from Indonesia

We refer to recent public comments by Indonesian officials, both past and present, on the haze situation that has affected Singapore and the region. These comments have since become conflated in some quarters with allegations of a conspiracy by our sovereign wealth funds to influence the status of Indonesia in financial markets, and importantly, the latest announcement by Indonesia to curtail natural gas exports to Singapore.
