Valerie Lee on Statutes (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
As the government expands powers, whether for public agencies or management bodies, it must match them with clarity, fairness and accountability, said MP Valerie Lee. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (May 7), she sought clarifications on the policy considerations for certain HDB-related provisions and condominium and Management Corporation Strata Title issues. She wanted to know whether there were legal gaps that necessitated the retrospective legislation, and how the government would ensure that future enforcement actions are firmly grounded in law from the onset. Ms Lee stressed that maintaining public confidence requires enforcement frameworks that are clear, prospective and robust from the start, and added that retrospective legislation should remain the exception.
