Closing Speech by Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State For
CLOSING SPEECH BY MS SIM ANN, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION, AT THE SECOND READING OF THE POSTAL SERVICES (AMENDMENT) BILL ON 5 APRIL 2021 Introduction Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank members for their support for this Bill, and for their questions on important issues that this Bill seeks to address. Members’ responses and questions fall into two broad themes, namely: i) What we are doing to ensure citizens and consumers can fully benefit from the deployment of the nationwide parcel locker network or the Network; and ii) What we are doing to enable businesses to reap productivity gains from the Network, while safeguarding it against cybersecurity threats. (A) Citizens/Consumers 2. Let me begin with the first theme, on providing a convenient, secure and inclusive Network that can be used by residents of all ages. Benefits to residents associated with the changes to the PSA 3. In my opening speech, I spoke about how the Network is an efficient solution that provides greater convenience and more options for parcel deliveries beyond doorstep delivery. 4. We note Mr Patrick Tay’s and Mr Gerald Giam’s queries about whether there are plans to deploy Pick’s lockers at private estates and condominiums. Parcel lockers can help achieve efficiencies in residential estates with sufficient density, and which are currently under-served. This is why Pick’s rollout plan is focused on HDB estates. Some private condominiums are already being served by a commercial parcel locker operator, who has agreed to join the Network. Pick will encourage its partners to expand their deployment wherever feasible, so that more locations, including private condominiums, can be served. -

First, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisor, Professor Mayfair Yang, for her patience and support from the very first year of my graduate education. I had no understanding of the theories she introduced me to when I first read them in our seminars, but over time I grew to see them in a new light. I would also like to thank Professor Fabio Rambelli and Professor Vesna Wallace for their help and for the Buddhist histories and philosophies that they introduced me to, which have opened new avenues for me to explore. A special thanks to all the faculty and staff in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara who have helped me grow into a more knowledgeable person than I was before I began this journey. -
