  • 1 Budget Debate Speech by Heng Chee How Deputy
    EMBARGOED TILL DELIVERY (PLEASE CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY) BUDGET DEBATE SPEECH BY HENG CHEE HOW DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL, NTUC MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR JALAN BESAR GRC ON 27 FEBRUARY 2018 1. Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me to join this debate. 2. When Singapore became independent, its key domestic socio-economic challenges were: • Low levels of education for the general population. • Young and growing working age population that faced frustration over uncertain prospects. • Low wages, High unemployment of around 10 per cent amid unstable industrial relations. 3. The workforce was predominantly rank and file. 4. 53 years on, our challenges are now different: • Our education system prepares students for PMET jobs. PMET employees comprise more than half of the workforce. A gig economy element is growing. • We have a rapidly ageing population and workforce, partly due to the Baby Boom generation effect. • While our unemployment rate of 2 per cent to 3 per cent is much lower than that in 1965 or in comparison with most other countries, and our industrial relations stable, the rising impact of disruption caused by changing business models, technology and global competition has significantly increased the risk of Job Obsolescence (or JObsolescence) and job loss. • General wage levels have risen, but there is a need to continue efforts to transform low wage industries for better earnings and prospects. 5. For the Labour Movement, these changes and realities dictate our priorities as we continue to pursue our mission to care for all working persons, and to work with the Government and employers to develop a better future for Singaporeans.
