Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Mark Lee on calibrating Singaporean core and competitiveness
Businesses support the principle of a strong Singaporean core and foreign manpower must remain complementary, not a substitute, said NMP Mark Lee. The question is about preserving three objectives simultaneously - safeguarding the social compact, preserving Singapore's competitiveness and sustaining long-term employment opportunities for Singaporeans, he said. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3), he wanted to know how the Ministry of Manpower assesses the impact of cumulative qualifying salary and Local Qualifying Salary adjustments on the Singaporean core and the country's competitiveness.
