  • Response by Mr Lawrence Wong, Senior Minister Of
    RESPONSE BY MR LAWRENCE WONG, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE, MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION, AT THE COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY DEBATE ON MCI’S BUDGET ON FRIDAY, 8 MAR 2013 STRENGTHENING PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS AND ENGAGEMENT Listening Carefully, Consulting Widely 1. Minister Yaacob earlier shared that the Government will listen carefully and consult widely in the formulation of policies. Let me now elaborate further on how we intend to do this. 2. Several members – Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Mr Baey Yam Keng, Mr David Ong and Mr Seng Han Thong – have highlighted the need for the Government to involve Singaporeans in the policy-making process. I agree fully with them – our policies are meant to improve the lives of Singaporeans, and must take into account the views of Singaporeans. 3. Public engagement is an important part of the policy-making process. It is neither new nor something that we are just doing now. In fact, it is something that we have been doing all along. But over the years, we have increasingly intensified our efforts to engage on a wide range of issues, with as many stakeholders as possible, and through various platforms, be it dialogues, webchats, townhalls or discussion forums. 4. In 2012, there were more than 30 public consultation efforts across the different ministries. Beyond these 30 consultation efforts, there were many others - informal exchanges, focus group discussions and so on, that took place across the different ministries and agencies. 5. However, as highlighted by Mr Baey Yam Keng and some other Members, there is certainly scope for us to do more.

  • Speech by Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Communications and Information (Mci) at the Mci Committee of Supply Debate, 2 March 2021
    SPEECH BY MS SIM ANN, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE, MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION (MCI) AT THE MCI COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY DEBATE, 2 MARCH 2021 Introduction 1. The past year has been challenging, to say the least, and we have all come to value the importance of staying connected. Digitalisation has been critical in enabling us to do so, even as we adopt safe distancing measures. We are transforming digitally as a society, but we need to ensure that the transformation is inclusive. 2. I will elaborate on four key strategies to achieve this: (a) First, we know not all Singaporeans are progressing at the same pace in the digital journey. Regardless of your starting point, the Government and key stakeholders will support you with the necessary resources. (b) Second, we will forge strong partnerships with stakeholders. (c) Third, we will continue to improve our last-mile delivery infrastructure. (d) Fourth, we will strengthen our communication efforts, making trusted information accessible to all. Supporting fellow Singaporeans to go digital 3. Let me address how we will approach inclusive digitalisation, starting with small businesses, as asked by Ms Tin Pei Ling, Mr Sharael Taha and Mr Cheng Hsing Yao. 4. We stepped up efforts to help small companies, including mom-and-pop HDB shops, to adopt simple digital solutions through the Heartlands Go Digital initiative. MOS Low Yen Ling and I co-chair the Heartland Digitalisation and Revitalisation Committee, and she had earlier spoken on how the Committee is helping heartland enterprises keep pace with digitalisation, taking into account their unique context.
