Lee Hui Ying on Coastal Protection and Other Amendments Bill
Singapore’s coastal protection requires a continuous line of defence that is implemented and maintained in a coherent and integrated way, yet responsibility is being decentralised to individual landowners. MP Lee Hui Ying said this in parliament on Friday (Mar 6) and raised several questions. How will the government ensure consistency and encourage the adoption of nature-based solutions? How will it manage smooth implementation over years and be accountable for the financial support provided? How will it address any impact on business competitiveness for coastal landowners, who are in key strategic sectors such as shipping and energy?
