Budget debate speech by He TIng Ru: Revisiting a development dashboard
In her 2025 Budget Speech, MP He Ting Ru (Sengkang) revisited the idea of using a developmental dashboard to better measure our social outcomes. Arguing that we have to approach our policies from a position of strength and abundance, rather than fear and scarcity, she also discussed how to apply the dashboard to areas such as inequality, participation in society, mental health and our readiness for the future, and to use it to measure outcomes, not just inputs. She hopes that with active input and participation from Singaporeans through fora such as Citizen’s Assemblies, the dashboard can be a channel through which we can shape our nation as we look to the next lap.
