Budget 2026 debate: Fadli Fawzi on spirit of citizen participation
If the government is sincere about the spirit of its people being the greatest strength, then it must be equally sincere about giving Singaporeans the means and the space to test that spirit of participation, said MP Fadli Fawzi. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), he said that national identity and sense of solidarity are best fostered organically from the ground up - in ways that affirm and reflect lived experiences. He highlighted the need for this participatory spirit in Singapore’s heritage, history and human ingenuity.
