Speech by He Ting Ru On An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Transition with No Jobless Growth Motion
Mr Speaker Singapore’s approach to AI is often cited by international institutions and consultancies like BCG, and prominent figures such as IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva. Our technological infrastructure and initiatives to upskill our workers are key parts of how we plan to confront the disruptions and opportunities presented to us by this new and rapidly developing technology.
Speech by He Ting Ru On SWDA
Mr Speaker, Today, workers have to reskill and upskill amidst our rapidly-evolving economy, in order to remain relevant and competitive in a challenging workforce. One of the ways that our policies seek to do so is by getting workers to undertake further training and education. Yet, this is in itself challenging; attending courses, often whilst juggling work and other life commitments, requires a significant expenditure of energy, time, and also money.
Speech by He Ting Ru On Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) (Amendment) and Other Matters Bill
Mr Speaker, The renaming of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act to the Tobacco and Vaporisers Control Act is symbolic of the Government’s increased focus on tackling vaporisers (also known as vapes), which has seen increased usage over the past few years.
Speech by He Ting Ru On MOH – cohort smoking ban
For years now, the Government has been studying the possible roll-out of a tobacco-free generation policy. Earlier this year, the MOS for Health said in an exchange with me that the effectiveness of implementing such a policy is not straightforward and that we are already at an all-time low smoking rate of 8.4% with the existing suite of measures.
