Debate on Annual Budget Statement
2025-02-27 · Parliament 14
The parliamentary debate centred on Budget 2025, focusing on how to navigate global political-economic shifts and technological change — especially the impact of frontier technologies such as AI on the economy and society. The government emphasised supporting families and firms while actively positioning for future growth via tech innovation and talent development. The core debate: how to balance short-term support with long-term transformation, and the employment and governance challenges raised by AI.
Use of CPF Contribution History in 2020 as Alternative Criteria to Determine Eligibility for GST Vouchers
2020-11-04 · Parliament 14
An MP asked whether 2020 CPF contribution records could replace 2018 income and other criteria for GST Voucher eligibility, especially for low-income self-employed people. The government replied that GST Voucher eligibility uses a comprehensive Assessable Income (AI) measure; CPF records only reflect part of income. Flexible appeal mechanisms and pandemic-specific support are in place to keep assistance targeted. The core debate: whether eligibility criteria should be adjusted to reflect the pandemic's impact. (Note: "AI" here refers to Assessable Income, not artificial intelligence.)
