Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 3: Ng Shi Xuan on battery as an enabler
Singapore may not manufacture battery cells at scale, but that is not where its competitive advantage lies. Singapore’s strengths are in high-value segments such as system design, integration, battery management software, safety engineering, testing, compliance and project management. These are areas where Singapore-based companies can compete and differentiate themselves. MP Ng Shi Xuan made these observations in parliament on Monday (Mar 2). He also sought clarification on whether support for the Singapore Battery Consortium will continue and whether its scope can be expanded beyond research collaboration.
