Budget 2024 debate: Carrie Tan on well-being and growth
“Tracking our well-being, achieving more with less, enhancing collaboration with citizens and above all, adopting a strength-based and trust-based lens will help us on a Uniquely Singapore holy grail towards the biggest, hairiest and most audacious goal of them all - well-being, while sustaining high growth in our economy,” said MP Carrie Tan in her Parliamentary speech on Wednesday (Feb 28). She reiterated that well-being is a critical success factor for continued and sustained growth. She advocated mindfulness and a slowing down that can unlock more potential in order to sustain or even leapfrog growth. She also called on Singaporeans to make time and space for “things that nourish our hearts”, such as children and family, building stronger relationships and community, as well as to nurture and actualise aspirations.
