Speech by Louis Chua On Finance (Income Taxes) Bill

Mr Speaker, the Finance (Income Taxes) Bill before this House seeks to implement the tax changes announced in Budget 2025, by amending the Income Tax Act and related legislation. While this may appear to be a procedural exercise to give legal effect to the Budget measures, I see it as an opportunity to do much more.

Speech by Gerald Giam On Regulation of Imports and Exports (Amendment) Bill

The Regulation of Imports and Exports (Amendment) Bill is a necessary legislative measure to safeguard the integrity and reputation of Singapore’s trade ecosystem. ‍The Bill primarily seeks to prevent the fraudulent issuance and misuse of Trade Information Certificates (TICs), which are official documents that are like a passport for goods. The fraudulent misuse of TICs ultimately damages our nation’s status as a trusted global trading hub.‍

Speech by Jamus Lim On Sticking with BEPS 2.0 in a Trump 2.0 World

Sir, the proposed amendments in the Finance (Income Tax) Bill may be split into three sets of changes: those pertaining to the Income Tax Act (ITA) and also related to the Budget this year; ITA changes that are not directly related to the Budget; and refinements to the Multinational Enterprise (Minimum Tax) Act (MMTA) that aim to clarify definitions and rules related to the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS 2.0) project, and specifically Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) rules in Pillar 2.

Speech by Pritam Singh On OSRA

Mr Speaker, I support the amendments filed by Sengkang GRC MP He Ting Ru and further elaborated upon by NCMPs Andre Low and Eileen Chong, and agree that these amendments strengthen the Bill for victims, and better calibrate the significant powers Parliament is vesting in the Online Safety Commission. I have some queries that cover ten clauses in the Bill as tabled by the Government for second reading.

Speech by Eileen Chong On Speech on Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Bill

我支持《互联网安全（援助与问责）法案》的宗旨。‍这能够为网络伤害受害者提供更及时的求助渠道、改善网络环境安全、遏制及预防网络伤害行为、并推动理性、负责任的网络行为。‍我们能够，也应该确保受害者能得到更及时和更全面的援助。与此同时，工人党认为这个法案能进一步优化，因此针对法案提出多项修改建议。
