Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Gerald Giam on navigating a fragmented world
As global giants rewrite international rules, Singapore must become a catalyst within ASEAN to exert collective bargaining power with middle and major powers. How does it plan to do this, particularly during its chairmanship next year? In a new era that requires small states to step up diplomacy and where world leaders often communicate directly to strike deals, do Singapore’s leaders maintain a strong level of direct access to global decision-makers? Has Singapore made any decisions on the US invitation to join President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, including being at least an observer? MP Gerald Giam asked these questions in parliament on Friday (Feb 27).
