Budget 2022 debate: Rachel Ong on Budget of hope, social consciousness and sustainable growth
A Budget of hope, social consciousness and sustainable growth. That is how MP Rachel Ong described Budget 2022. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Feb 28), she said it will respond to the needs and aspirations of Singaporeans and seek to tackle some very difficult issues that Singaporeans are concerned about. It is also a "big step forward" towards a more equitable, harmonious and progressive Singapore. She said it is encouraging to see a large part of the Budget devoted to social well-being, particularly the seniors. Another aspect of the Budget which struck a chord is the effort to redistribute wealth so that those in the top income brackets will contribute more. She said this redistribution of wealth serves well to build up the social foundation.
