Budget 2026 debate: Elysa Chen on ensuring inclusive growth
As the government strategises for Singapore to surge ahead and ride the AI wave to advance the economy, it should not forget that there are groups of people who may be left behind, said MP Elysa Chen. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25), she proposed ways to support vulnerable persons and marginalised groups. One way is to consider a “take a chance” grant for employers who hire vulnerable persons. Ms Chen also proposed expanding the SG Culture Pass to cover every child. This would give children access to the arts, involve parents in their artistic development and mental well-being and strengthen family ties.
