Speech by Louis Chua 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 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.



Speech by Louis Chua On CPF (Amendment) Bill
Mr. Speaker, the Central Provident Fund or CPF (Amendment) Bill introduced today marks the closure of an important chapter in the history of Singapore’s social security system. Specifically, it facilitates the transfer of Singtel Special Discounted Shares or SDS from the CPF Board to the Central Depository or CDP accounts of over 615,000 Singaporeans.



Speech by Louis Chua On Veterinary Practice Bill
Mr. Speaker, as a proud parent of a fur kid, I relate to the stress faced by pet owners when bringing their pet, often with much resistance, to the vet for a medical treatment or check-up. I am sure many pet owners can relate to how, they can somehow figure out whether they’re being taken to the dog run or being taken to the vet for a medical appointment. However, no matter how anxious or rebellious the patient may be, it is the patience, skill, and professionalism of our veterinary corps that often place both the patient and its owner at ease.
