Speech by Louis Chua On Finance (Income Taxes) Bill
Mr Speaker, the Finance (Income Taxes) Bill before this House seeks to implement the tax changes announced in Budget 2025, by amending the Income Tax Act and related legislation. While this may appear to be a procedural exercise to give legal effect to the Budget measures, I see it as an opportunity to do much more.



Speech by Louis Chua On Workplace Fairness (Dispute Resolution) Bill
Mr Speaker, earlier this year, I spoke during the debate on the introduction of the Workplace Fairness Bill, where together with my fellow Workers’ Party MPs, we raised several proposals to strengthen the Bill, such as prohibiting indirect discrimination, plugging the gaps in terms of characteristics which are not currently protected, and legislating the right to request for reasonable accommodations, amongst others.



Speech by Louis Chua On Motion on President’s Speech
Mr Speaker, as we mark SG60 this year, it is clear that Singapore has attained significant achievements by most standards. From third world to first, from mudflats to metropolis, as the Singapore story goes. Today, Singapore stands as the world’s fourth richest country by GDP per capita, at US$93,956 according to the IMF's 2025 projections, and ranks 26th globally by total GDP notwithstanding our modest size, making us ASEAN’s second-largest economy, surpassing Thailand which has a population exceeding 71 million.
