Live: PM Wong, Chan Chun Sing to speak on political office-holders’ salary review
The House will debate the matter on Sept 10.
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Coordinating Minister for Public Services Chan Chun Sing will address proposed changes to political salaries on Tuesday around noon. The government will respond to recommendations from a committee reviewing political salaries.
MPs have filed several questions for the ministers to address. Singapore Airlines' investments are a topic of interest, as Air India is seeking $1.9 billion in investment from shareholders, including SIA, following a record annual loss. WP's Kenneth Tiong asked if losses from SIA's foreign associates have been considered regarding its ability to provide essential transport services, and whether SIA would need to inform the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore about these losses.
Another question relates to a sexual assault case involving two children and two individuals at a mosque. Sharael Taha and Fadli Fawzi both asked about this incident, with Taha inquiring about the review of safeguarding measures at mosques, while Fawzi asked why the man was allowed to conduct religious classes in the mosque despite not being staff, a volunteer, or an accredited religious teacher.
Additionally, amendments to the Land Titles (Strata) Act are set to be debated. These changes, which include lower en bloc consent thresholds, could potentially make it easier for larger, older projects to undergo collective sales if passed.
