The previous financial year was hit by the six-day East-West Line disruption and related costs. SMRT Trains' revenue rose 5.6% to almost S$%970 million, which the rail operator attributed to higher ridership and fare revenue. Meanwhile, SMRT is also testing a technology at Marina Bay station that could help staff detect potential issues earlier, respond more quickly to incidents and automate routine station functions. Called SMART Station, it uses a virtual model to provide staff with real-time visibility of station conditions. Beatrice Yap reports.

In his speech supporting the amendments to the motion, Second Minister for Finance Jeffrey Siow said Singapore needs both multinational corporations (MNCs) and SMEs to thrive.

She said increasing minimum annual leave and letting employees use sick leave based on dependents’ medical certificates will help in building a family-centric society. On support for mothers, she suggested extending maternity leave to six months, fully government-paid up to a cap. This will also make it more viable for employers to hire contract cover, she said. She proposed tax deductions for firms hiring stay-at-home parents returning to the workforce and more incentives to create lactation rooms. Childcare subsidies ought to be the same for working and non-working mums, she added, along with better accessibility to childcare centres and more childcare options. Housing policies must also proactively encourage families to grow. Ms Chen envisioned future adjoining Build-to-Order units designed for dividing walls to be knocked down, which larger and intergenerational families can apply for. In response, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah said the Marriage and Parenthood Reset Workgroup will take some of Ms Chen’s suggestions into account as it works on recommendations, with a full report expected next year.

Minister of State for Manpower Dinesh Vasu Dash said the evidence does not support the conclusion that the economic model is failing. He noted that vacancies continued to outnumber jobseekers, and that the government is helping graduates adapt to a changing labour market through various ways. #singapore #sgnews

Responding to Members in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5), he said its responsibility now is to ensure that it continues to deliver in a very different changed world. Dr Tan pointed out that the amended motion captures the full combination that Singapore needs - an equal and inclusive economy with opportunities for entrepreneurs, households, businesses and workers, and ideas and innovation to flourish, as well as an economy powered by dynamic local companies and global enterprises, healthy domestic and external demand, and Singaporeans and Singaporean capital venturing abroad. All of these are mutually reinforcing parts of one united economic strategy, he said.

He said the Workers’ Party’s (WP) proposals in its motion on Singapore’s economy are “very much in line” with the direction of the government’s Economic Strategy Review. However, he noted one significant difference - WP appears to believe that Singapore’s economic model is imbalanced and needs to be fundamentally reoriented; that multinational corporations (MNCs) create wealth, while small- and medium-sized enterprises are held down and Singaporeans receive the benefits through redistribution. Mr Siow said “this is not an academic disagreement, but one that is crucial to policies that we will pursue”. He refuted WP’s claim that the government has a universal land pricing model, saying land is already priced differently at fair market value based on its intended use, and this ensures responsible stewardship of the limited resource. As for the view that MNCs and local firms are competing for a fixed pie, Mr Siow emphasised that Singapore needs both and their growth is mutually reinforcing.

Their regional management, technical and procurement functions can connect local enterprises to sophisticated demand, new technologies, international standards and global supply chains. These connections do not arise automatically, and that is where industry associations and consortia can play a much larger role with networking and resources. MP Ng Shi Xuan made these points in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5). He said the deeper question is not how many global companies Singapore attracts or how many local small- and medium-sized enterprises it supports. It is whether they interact in ways that build lasting capabilities.

It will continue to create the conditions of a vibrant and effervescent enterprise ecosystem to help them flourish and thrive. Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling highlighted this approach in response to Members in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5). She pointed out that most small- and medium-sized enterprises recognise that transformation is no longer optional, and the question is how they can transform in a practical, accessible and sustainable manner. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and this why the government tailors its approach to support the company's needs - in areas like adopting AI, improving productivity, developing new product services and expanding into new markets, she added.

Responding to Members in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5), he stressed the need to build an economy where workers can build meaningful careers, enterprises can innovate and grow, and more Singaporeans can create opportunities for themselves and others. He said this is precisely what the Economic Strategy Review seeks to achieve - not by choosing between growth and inclusion, local enterprises and global connections or competitiveness and worker protection but by pursuing all of these together. This is how Singapore will turn economic growth into broad-based progress through better jobs, wages and pathways for advancement, and continue to build an economy that works for all Singaporeans, he added.

The Economic Strategy Review sets a clear direction and the task now is to turn that direction into something that a worker can feel, he said. This means standing by workers, helping those who are retrenched bounce back with dignity and helping the rest become AI-ready before the changes arise, he said in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5).

But who is Singapore sending along with its capital and companies into the region? Posing this question in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5), NCMP Eileen Chong urged the government to support young Singaporeans wanting to work in Southeast Asia and support them when they come back. This means investing sufficiently in structures such as adding regional languages like Thai and Vietnamese to third-language options for students. The number of places in the Overseas Markets Immersion Programme, which aims to give youths regional work experience, should be increased, she said, and opened to all graduates from tertiary institutions. Ms Chong also asked if enough employers in Singapore value and reward regional experience; otherwise, such stints will be a penalty, not a premium. The government should also look into ensuring that taking up regional postings will not mean “accepting penalties” such as losing out on Build-to-Order opportunities, she added.

He pointed out that the Economic Strategy Review gives Singapore a comprehensive roadmap to stay globally competitive and added that the labour movement’s task is to make sure that this roadmap is also worker-centric, inclusive and fair.

Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5), he said Singapore must continue to prioritise employment and good jobs. Just as Singapore has built up considerable expertise in pedagogy that has placed it at the forefront of global education for children, it needs to similarly build up expertise in lifelong learning and employability, he said. This means bringing in the world's leading experts to bridge the world of academia and industry with timely research that informs practice in a fast-changing landscape. Singapore can be at the cutting edge of learning and employability in the AI age, he added.
