Mr Speaker, I would like to thank the WP for their support of our Motion and for sharing their proposals for greater transparency, fairness and impartiality. I would also like to thank the Minister for clarifying that the EBRC has not yet been convened and that when it is, announcements will be made. Let me […]

Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move, “That this House calls on the Government to review the process by which electoral boundaries are determined in order to increase the transparency and fairness of the electoral boundary review process for all political parties.” The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) had earlier asked for Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) […]

Mr Speaker, Sir, During the debate on the Motion on Advancing Mental Health in February, I spoke about the importance of being kind, which would go a long way towards improving our collective mental health. The Good Samaritan Food Donation Bill that we are debating today helps to promote more acts of kindness in our […]
