She welcomed giving the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore greater powers to deal with sunk, stranded or apparently abandoned vessels and other objects that may pose navigational or environmental hazards. However, removal operations may also cause harm, she said. She asked how MPA will determine actions to be taken, removal deadlines and pursuit of compensation for any environmental damage. Ms Nadia also highlighted the potential risks posed by autonomous vessels and remote pilotage.

In parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3), she acknowledged that automation creates new digital roles, but advocated for senior port workers who have decades of invaluable experience but may lack digital literacy, asking how the government will incentivize employers to redesign jobs and retrain current staff. She noted that smaller maritime businesses lack the internal IT resources of larger firms, and asked if the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) will provide financial aid, technical advice, or shared cybersecurity services to help them meet the new compliance burdens. Finally, she stressed a preventive approach to technology failures and liability. She requested for clear MPA protocols regarding backup communication systems, intervention authority, and safe recovery procedures when remote operations fail.</p>

He asked how the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) plans to manage cybersecurity risks from foreign vessels and systems, and whether Singapore will adopt international standards to avoid duplicative compliance. He further highlighted that traditional maritime liability breaks down when decisions are made by autonomous algorithms. He also warned of a systemic fleet-level risk where a single software vulnerability could simultaneously freeze multiple independent vessels and disrupt shipping lanes. He asked whether the MPA will establish clear rules for liability insurance, remote intervention, and mandatory failsafe states. Beyond technical and legal challenges, the MP emphasized the need to balance robust safety regulations with Singapore&#039;s economic competitiveness against regional rivals. He highlighted that the proposed framework introduces significant compliance costs for operators, including recurring cyber audits, specialized manpower, and upfront technology investments. He asked if the MPA has conducted a cumulative regulatory impact assessment of these compliance costs and benchmarked them against competing international hubs. Finally, he inquired whether clear productivity metrics such as vessel turnaround times and operating costs per container can be established to verify that these investments genuinely strengthen Singapore&#039;s long-term competitive position. </p>

In parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3), he urged the Ministry of Transport and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore to implement a credible tripartite workforce transition plan, ensuring that no automation pilot scales without providing affected workers with durable job pathways and bridging training. Additionally, he called for mandatory, risk-calibrated digital port fire drills to ensure critical automated systems can fail safely and allow trained personnel to take over during cyber disruptions. Finally, he stressed the need for an auditable log to clarify operational command in congested waters, asking the minister to establish a clear hierarchy of legal liability when autonomous systems, third-party software or overseas vendors fail.</p>

Pointing to studies on remote pilotage showing that situational awareness is a key challenge, Mr Tan said any compromise in standards may raise the risk of navigational incidents in Singapore&#039;s exceptionally busy port waters. In parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3), he also asked if smaller operators will get support to build cybersecurity capabilities and meet new regulatory requirements.</p>

So, a new regulatory framework should be clear, proportionate and predictable, while supporting competition, innovation and workforce transition. In parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3), Mr Chia said regulatory sandboxes must not become “a never-ending loop” of pilots for companies investing in new maritime technologies. He called for a transparent pathway from controlled trials to limited commercial operations and ultimately, wider deployment. Mr Chia added that the use of novel technologies will result in workforce transformation. He asked that workers get help to convert their experience into new skills suited for a more automated maritime environment.</p>

Laws must not just keep pace with, but allow Singapore to “apply vigilance and imagination” to maritime scenarios in a new and fast-changing reality, so it can continue to operate one of the world’s busiest and most trusted ports. Senior Minister of State for Transport Murali Pillai made these points in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3). He opened the debate on a Bill to give MPA more powers to regulate new maritime technologies and guard against cyberthreats. New maritime technologies include autonomous vessels, underwater robots and remote operation centres. The changes empower MPA to regulate vessels operating in Singapore’s territorial waters, whether or not they are conventionally crewed. MPA will also be able to pace the adoption of new technologies and services that may carry greater risks, including by running pilot schemes. The Bill also sets out a new cybersecurity framework to regulate operators of maritime systems that do not meet the threshold for designation as critical information infrastructure, but are critical to the continuity of sea transport and port operations.</p>

He suggested that energy issues currently under different regulatory agencies be consolidated under one agency to make it seamless for SMEs. He pointed out that it is important for SMEs to understand contractual agreements on fixed-price safeguards on electricity prices, and suggested a concise contract guide for SMEs be produced and translated into Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. He further asked for the government’s long-term plans to help SMEs build energy resilience and reduce their reliance on assistance. </p>

He said the supply chain for nuclear energy, while potentially more secure than that for natural gas, is not necessarily assured. He also raised concerns about the location of a possible nuclear reactor, and protecting it. Assoc Prof Lim added that who Singapore ends up partnering with for spent fuel management could open up &quot;a whole Pandora’s box of diplomatic challenges”.</p>

In addition, as standard air-conditioning filters are ineffective at removing fine PM2.5 particles, all preschools, regardless of whether they have air-conditioning, must deploy dedicated air purifiers in key teaching areas. Preschools must monitor hourly PM2.5 readings to adjust operations dynamically, proactively identify vulnerable children with chronic respiratory issues to ensure their medication is accessible, and maintain a dedicated, enclosed room with an air purifier for children who become unwell. Furthermore, operators must strictly maintain the prescribed minimum floor space per child even when enclosing classrooms during a haze. ECDA enforces compliance through both readiness surveys and unannounced physical inspections, said Mr Goh.</p>

To manage daily operations, MOE reviews the 24-hour PSI forecast the evening before and tracks real-time hourly PM2.5 readings to dynamically adjust on-the-ground measures. When PM2.5 levels are elevated (56–150), classrooms run air purifiers with doors and windows closed, using upgraded fans and air coolers to maintain air circulation and thermal comfort, while students can wear PE attire. While mixed-mode cooling using air conditioning with fans is currently being completed for school halls, MOE is studying how to extend this to classrooms. If PM2.5 levels reach the high range (151–250), schools will continue operating safely with the measures in place and will also halt all outdoor activities. Should the 24-hour PSI forecast cross into the hazardous range (301 and above), MOE will consider closing schools and transitioning preschool to secondary school students to Home-Based Learning.</p>

He acknowledged that these safety measures can increase operating costs and disrupt contractual requirements but cautioned against the over-regulation of commercial contracts, recommending instead that buyers transition toward flexible, outcome-based contracts that allow providers to adjust manpower deployment without penalty.</p>

Delivery workers are encouraged to take regular breaks at designated Community Club shelters and those facing financial strain from scaling back their hours for health reasons can seek assistance from Social Service Offices. He also welcomed proactive joint initiatives by platform operators and work associations, such as the recent distribution of N95 masks to riders.</p>

Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu said this in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3) in response to MPs’ questions. She said that while wholesalers have said prolonged haze may affect vegetable growth, local farms have reported minimal impact, with operations returning to normal after a recent improvement in air quality. Meanwhile, hawker centres saw a drop in footfall when the haze was bad, but some of this was offset by an increase in takeaway orders. Ms Fu said the government will continue to monitor the impact on hawkers, but has no plans for additional haze-specific financial assistance for them at this time.</p>

She was answering an MP’s question in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3) about providing additional PM2.5 forecasts, similar to what is done in the US. Ms Fu said the current daily PSI forecast helps the public plan activities for the next day, while hourly PM2.5 readings can guide immediate outdoor activities. On indoor air quality, Ms Fu said this is managed through standards, guidelines, advisories and sector-specific measures by building owners and relevant agencies. The minister also updated the House that close to 30 per cent of eligible Singaporeans had collected their N95 masks as of Oct 29.</p>

Ms Fu noted that Singapore already hosts the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre, which monitors regional hotspots and raised alert levels to their highest tier in August amidst close coordination with regional neighbours. While Singapore proactively offered civilian and cloud-seeding assistance to Indonesia under their bilateral environmental pact, Indonesia maintained on Oct 19 that it could manage the fires independently. Looking ahead, she emphasised collaborating across ASEAN sectoral pillars to address root causes like unsustainable land management and crop-burning practices, while reiterating Singapore’s commitment to taking legal action against commercial entities responsible for the haze.</p>

While the outage forced the activation of manual downtime procedures, delayed some services and led to the rescheduling of roughly 4,000 outpatient appointments, no adverse patient safety incidents occurred. As both backup data centres relied on the same underlying DNS configuration, switching between them could not resolve the failure. He said that national HealthTech agency Synapxe is taking accountability, reviewing its provider&#039;s contractual obligations and convening an expert panel to systematically improve tracking, address shared dependencies and enhance overall system containment and recovery resilience. The Ministry of Health will oversee these corrective actions and verify that they are effective, said Mr Tan. </p>

Young people, in particular, may fear being judged, or leaving a permanent mark on their records, which might in turn affect their future employment or educational opportunities, or buying of insurance. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said this in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3). He spoke about protections under the Workplace Fairness Act which will take effect next year, as well as how healthcare institutions and schools safeguard patient and student confidentiality. One gap that he identified involves practices around parental consent, which currently vary. Mr Ong said his ministry is developing a set of guidelines, aiming to give young people a safe way to seek initial help while involving family at the right time. He was answering an MP’s questions.</p>

However, the Land Transport Authority can retrieve specific vehicle location data to enforce serious regulations, such as detecting deregistered vehicles and halting illegal cross-border taxi services. Under the Criminal Procedure Code, the police can also ask for this data for criminal investigations. All such sharing remains strictly governed by public sector governance rules and data security safeguards to prevent unauthorised access, said Ms Sun.</p>

Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said support for families must take into account not just those who plan to buy a car, but those who want to rely on public transport. He was answering questions in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3) about the proposed Certificate of Entitlement (COE) &quot;feebate&quot; system. This aims to restore a permanent price distinction in COE premiums between mass-market and luxury cars. To help individual buyers who wish to bid for COEs on their own, LTA will evaluate whether to further reduce COE bid fees and whether to require motor dealers to publish car prices without COE, said Mr Siow. He also explained why creating a separate category for private-hire cars is considered unfeasible.</p>
