Budget 2025 debate: Foo Mee Har on building on Singapore brand as a ‘trump card’
A “landmark Budget” to tackle cost-of-living pressures, support the development of workers and businesses and commemorate SG60, while investing in Singapore's long-term needs - this is how MP Foo Mee Har summed up Budget 2025 in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 26). She noted that many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have voiced concerns that they have been left out. Ms Foo said that while certain measures may not be explicitly labelled as SME-specific, many initiatives in Budget 2025 will benefit them, such as SG60 Vouchers to boost footfall and consumer spending. Ms Foo stressed the need to build on the Singapore brand, saying the country’s reputation for transparency, consistency and long-term planning is the “trump card” in securing its place in an ever-changing world.
