Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Yip Hon Weng on Singapore’s strategic foreign policy
Singapore cannot control the currents of history or stop the rivalry of giants, but it can control its response, said MP Yip Hon Weng in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). He wanted to know how Singapore will preserve its strategic space and uphold a rules-based order as major powers compete; what is its stance and role in regional stability and conflict management as geopolitical tensions in the Asia-Pacific region remain acute; how it will preserve domestic resilience and shape global norms in an age of polarised narratives; and how it will manage bilateral relationships while advancing strategic diversification.
