Motion: Kenneth Goh on an economy of the future that works for all
The movers of the original motion have described it as complementary to, but distinct from the Economic Strategy Review, but the wording does not adequately address the trade-offs involved, said NMP Kenneth Goh. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 5), he said his concern is not with the aspirations but with compressing distinct principles and trade-offs into a single proposition. Fairness does not always require equal outcomes, but inequality should not become a lasting barrier to opportunity, he said. He added that he would have preferred a more nuanced and calibrated formulation - one that preserves its aspirations while making the trade-offs and responsibilities clearer. The amendments proposed by MP Edward Chia bring the motion closer to his position, he said.
