Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 1: Hazel Poa on anti-corruption and fertility measures

04:18 Min

If we stand by while corrupt companies win contracts and prosper while more capable but uncorrupt companies lose out in the competition, what kind of world are we moving towards? NCMP Hazel Poa posed this question in Parliament on Friday (Feb 24), in reference to the bribery case involving six former employees of Keppel Offshore & Marine. She asked if a committee would be appointed to consult the public on what questions they want answered and for the answers to be gotten from the relevant agencies. Noting that stay-home parents contribute as much to society as working parents, she also asked if the Government would consider introducing CPF top-ups for stay-home parents as a form of appreciation.
