Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 5: Saktiandi Supaat on maritime sector, job creation in the transport sector and aviation sector recovery
How can Singapore enhance port services to maintain the competitiveness of its port and continue facilitating the smooth functioning of supply chains amidst recent disruptions? Can the Ministry of Transport share what types of jobs in the transport sector are seeing supply constraints as well as emerging jobs that workers can explore in the future? How are human capital constraints being addressed going forward, especially in the transport sector? MP Saktiandi Supaat raised these questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 5). Turning to the aviation sector, he wanted to know Changi Airport's current air traffic volume compared to pre-COVID numbers. He also wanted to know how the aviation workforce is coping with travel volumes at Changi Airport after recovering from the COVID-19 disruption as well as plans to future-proof the aviation workforce.
