Monday's session will also see three amendment bills receive their first reading. These include amendments to the Income Tax Act, the Free Trade Zones Act, and the Societies Act
SINGAPORE: Parliament is gearing up for a crucial session on Monday as Members of Parliament prepare to delve into a range of pressing issues that have gripped the nation’s attention. Among the key topics to be discussed are the billion-dollar money laundering case, a disturbing incident at a Kinderland preschool, and concerns over electoral processes.
Some of the questions raised by parliamentarians include the government’s plans to enhance scrutiny of individuals from “golden passport” jurisdictions, the necessity of tightening anti-money laundering laws, the number of money laundering cases reported by financial institutions, and the extent to which real estate transactions were obstructed once the case came to light.
The issue of 200 eligible voters omitted from the electoral roll during the 2023 presidential election is also expected to be discussed, with Leader of the Opposition and Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh set to question any past incidents of a similar nature and the measures authorities plan to undertake to prevent such occurrences in the future. Some MPs will also inquire about the number of polling stations that experienced technical difficulties during the presidential election.
