Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Joan Pereira on exploring opportunities in emerging regions
With shifting supply chains and new growth poles, emerging regions such as Africa, Latin America and the Middle East will be critical to Singapore's long-term resilience, said MP Joan Pereira in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). She said the government can and must play a bigger role in helping Singaporeans venture confidently to these frontiers. It should resource new and existing missions as active economic enablers; expand scholarships, internships and mid-career attachments in these places; and work with business chambers, unions, universities and the media to highlight success stories of Singaporeans who have taken the leap.
