Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 2: Murali Pillai on resilience-building and access to justice
In Parliament on Monday (Feb 27), Deputy Speaker Jessica Tan dealt with the expenditure estimates for the Ministry of Law (MinLaw). Following that, MP Murali Pillai called on MinLaw to chronicle its efforts and those of its partners over the COVID-19 pandemic period. First, it would show the chain of reasoning behind the legal structures which dealt with urgent and significant issues during the pandemic. This provides certainty and precedence for future events, he said. Second, it will show their practical impact and outcome to better plan for the future, he added. Turning to disputes between neighbours, he said it is useful to deploy professional mediation services on-site so that these persons are engaged at the earliest opportunity. He asked if the Government sees value in deploying more such mediation services in the neighbourhood.
