Budget 2026 debate: Nadia Ahmad Samdin on preparing across life course in super-aged Singapore
Budget 2026 is the first in Singapore’s super-aged phase and the country must think structurally, not incrementally, across life stages - from childhood confidence to workforce resilience to ageing with purpose as one Singapore story. MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin, who made this call in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25), stressed the need to design intentionally and strengthen the compact between generations so that longevity will not feel lonely and not weaken Singapore. She highlighted ways that Singapore must respond across the life course so that every citizen continues to have a place at the national table.
