Workers' Party to table motion calling for an 'economy of the future' for all Singaporeans

The Workers' Party (WP) in Singapore plans to introduce a parliamentary motion advocating for an 'economy of the future' designed to benefit all Singaporeans. The motion, proposed by MPs Kenneth Tiong and Jamus Lim, outlines a vision emphasizing equality, inclusivity, and opportunities for entrepreneurship, alongside support for local businesses and innovation. It aims to complement and differentiate from the government's Economic Strategy Review (ESR) report, which was finalized in June 2025. The WP argues that while the ESR provides a framework, there are gaps that their proposals seek to address through alternative strategies focused on fostering local enterprises, research funding, and a supportive business environment despite existing challenges like high costs and spatial limitations.
