Budget 2026 debate: Pritam Singh on ‘taking care of our own’ as standard for government policies
The time has come to refine the CDC Vouchers Scheme to better help Singaporean families, said MP Pritam Singh. He proposed a “simple and targeted adjustment” - retain the S$500 base for all households of three members or fewer. For owner-occupied households with more than three members, provide an additional S$150 per person. This is a modest and practical refinement that better reflects the actual cost-of-living burden that larger families carry, he said. It was among the suggestions he proposed in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 24), as he stressed that “taking care of our own” represents one standard by which all government policies will be unpacked, measured and scrutinised by the Workers’ Party.
