Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Charlene Chen on designing belonging for every youth
If loneliness is rising, the response is not only more services, it is better design. Design spaces that are easy to access. Design systems that match initiative with opportunity and design programmes that reward continuity. MP Charlene Chen made these calls in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5), where she noted recent surveys which show that young Singaporeans experience more loneliness than older age groups. She highlighted that young people do not only need facilities, they need places where they feel ownership.
