Budget 2026 debate: Kenneth Goh on capability and cohesion
In parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25), NMP Kenneth Goh expressed support for Budget 2026 and framed his remarks around two themes - capability and cohesion. “If capability enables adaptation, cohesion enables resilience,” he said. He outlined how the government can build capability by reforming education for an AI-led world and aligning university incentives with societal needs. On the topic of cohesion, he noted that it “cannot be left to chance”, and proposed strengthening cohesion by investing in the people who front Singapore’s sporting and cultural life.
