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.‍

Building Our Inherent Capacity

I am honoured to address this House as an MP representing the people of Aljunied GRC. This special constituency reminds us of that moment in 2011 when Singaporeans began to dream of a more plural political system, and I stand here today in service of that dream.‍I wish to speak on one of the most important economic questions for our country today: what it will take for Singapore to build “inherent capacity.” By inherent capacity, I mean a rooted, high-value, local base of companies and industries. For fifty years, our prosperity has been built on attracting foreign direct investment within a world of free trade. This model served us well. But in a new era of geopolitical blocs and strategic industries, this dependence is a vulnerability. High-value work, hosted on our shores, can be repatriated at any time, leaving our workers exposed.

Extending Support to Vulnerable Singaporeans

Mr. Speaker, I am here today with deep appreciation to the voters of Sengkang. I am honoured to have served in Sengkang as a volunteer since 2020, and now as their elected representative.‍I acknowledge the President's call in his address: "Singapore must also remain a home where the vulnerable amongst us are not only cared for with compassion, but also empowered to pursue their hopes and dreams." These words remind us of our fundamental duty to ensure that every Singaporean has the opportunity to thrive.

Levelling Up Our Society

I wish to thank voters of Aljunied GRC, including those in Bedok Reservoir-Punggol division, for giving my teammates and I in the Workers’ Party an opportunity to serve them again. We know that each vote was a carefully considered decision and we do not hold that lightly. We are committed to honouring your trust by working tirelessly to earn your votes again in the coming years.

Efficient Policy May Be Neither Equal Nor Fair

In 2024, Singapore’s per capita income breached $100,000. This is among the highest in the world, and greater than most advanced, industrialized economies. That we were able to attain this standard of living in the relatively brief span of 60 years since our independence is a testament to how far we have come, in terms of income and wealth.

Speech by Eileen Chong On Motion on President’s Speech

The President noted how each generation has built on the legacy of those before, embracing change and persevering through crises. He spoke of the need for unity as we navigate turbulent waters. I could not agree more.
