Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Tin Pei Ling on global connectivity for strategic future
Global connectivity is a strategic choice that must be actively maintained, future-proofed and made inclusive. Singapore should build fast enough and well enough to capture value, but also flexible enough to anticipate any macro shocks. But at the same time, it must also always be prudent to adapt and protect public interest. MP Tin Pei Ling said this in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4). Highlighting Singapore’s significant long-term investments such as Terminal 5 and the Tuas Mega Port expansion, she raised several questions on demand and relevance, timing and capability.
