Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 3: Ng Shi Xuan on strengthening enterprise ecosystem
In parliament on Monday (Mar 2), MP Ng Shi Xuan noted that a strong business ecosystem requires both investment from multinational companies and a resilient base of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). He raised the issue of an enterprise ecosystem gap, where larger firms surge ahead due to technology and skill, while smaller enterprises struggle to keep up with access to tools and capabilities. He suggested that one practical way to narrow this gap is to offer SMEs a year-long subscription to enterprise AI tools, allowing business owners to experiment, learn and integrate AI into daily operations before committing long term.
