Debate on President’s speech: He Ting Ru on robust guardrails for continuity and resilience

Singapore is safe, stable and in many ways successful but past performance is not a guarantee of future success, said MP He Ting Ru. “It is timely to ask if we have the right governance processes to safeguard these outcomes in the long term,” she said in parliament on Monday (Sep 22). She stressed the need for robust guardrails to hold back the worst excesses as no country is immune to shocks and mistakes. Singapore must design processes to ensure continuity and resilience, she added.
