Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Liang Eng Hwa on staying agile for unexpected challenges
The Ukrainian crisis will have very severe implications on the world economy that has yet to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Can Singapore's economy grow at the rate that has been forecast? Energy prices and the supply of oil will impact Singapore. MP Liang Eng Hwa voiced these concerns in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3) and proposed ways to respond to the challenges. One way is to "move the needle" to save electricity and reduce energy consumption. He wanted to know if the Government has any plans to mount an energy-saving campaign. He also wanted to know how the Government is supporting firms to innovate, as well as working with industry and workers to build a future-ready workforce. He also asked the Government for its overall vision of Singapore's economy.
