Careshield Amendment Bill

How we view and ultimately support the long-term care of the vulnerable in our society should be a reflection of what Singapore values. Care recipients are our parents, our partners, our neighbours, and perhaps even ourselves.

Helping Our Disabled Live Life with Dignity

Sir, the proposed amendments to the CareShield Life and Long Term Care Act seeks to introduce certain amendments, to redefine the circumstances under which the scheme applies to certain individuals, and to provide for the service of documents related to the Act. I will focus my remarks on the first element, dealing with the scope of coverage of CareShield Life. I will begin with elements close to the specificities of the present Bill, before moving to more general issues of coverage.

Speech by Dennis Tan Lip Fong On The Civil Aviation Authority (Amendment) Bill

Mr. Speaker, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill, while seemingly technical, is a critical piece of legislation that puts into policy and operationalises Singapore's commitment to tackling carbon emissions from the aviation sector through the increased adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, or SAF.

About Trust in Parliament

It has been four months since the last General Election. As we commence this new term of Parliament, I note that we have 31 members who are entering Parliament for the first time. I am privileged to be here for my 5th term. There are quite a few others who have been here longer, including Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his 10th term – more than 40 years. Nevertheless, I trust I may be permitted to give my personal welcome to the newly-minted MPs from both sides of the House.‍
