Budget 2026 must reassure Singaporean workers who are anxious about their place in a changing economy, said MP Patrick Tay. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25), he pointed out that in this era of AI, ageing and global uncertainty, Singaporeans are not asking for guarantees but want fairness and opportunity, as well as see their effort rewarded. He outlined the various ways the Budget must work for the “five Us” - the unemployed, underemployed, under-represented, untrained and underserved.
