Budget 2026 debate: Kenneth Poon on strengthening Singapore's social foundation
Expressing support for the Budget in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 24), NMP Kenneth Poon offered four questions as a lens for considering how initiatives within the Budget strengthen Singapore's social foundations over time. He elaborated that the effectiveness of the Budget lies not only in terms of the opportunities it creates, but in the extent to which it enables Singaporeans to participate, contribute and remain connected over time. “When our investments enable individuals to remain embedded in shared institutions across life stages, they strengthen not only individual outcomes, but our collective capacity to act in times of uncertainty and change,” he said.
