Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Poh Li San on women in aviation
What is the representation of women in senior leadership in Singapore’s aviation industry? Given that the aviation sector is growing quickly and it is also very male dominant, what steps is the Ministry of Transport taking to attract talent, especially young women graduates in STEM? MP Poh Li San raised these questions in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4). She noted that it is not just the job of the government and a culture shift is needed if the aviation sector is to change from a male-dominated working environment into a more inclusive one.
