Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song (Aljunied): Just a very quick supplementary question. When is MAS going to require the banks to use more secure methods besides SMS OTP, for example, using the app-based OTPs? Mr Alvin Tan: The short answer is that MAS is working with the banks on a variety of authentication measures, including SMSContinue reading “REPORTS OF UNAUTHORISED BANK TRANSACTION TAKING PLACE DESPITE ABSENCE OF ALERTS ON CUSTOMER’S TELEPHONE RECORDS”

FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DRAWING UP COMPASS SHORTAGE OCCUPATION LIST
Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song (Aljunied): Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I have two supplementary questions for the Minister. Is the SOL proactively shared with schools and tertiary institutions so that they can provide career guidance to their students and encourage them to consider these jobs so that they can fill the shortage when they eventually graduate? OrContinue reading “FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DRAWING UP COMPASS SHORTAGE OCCUPATION LIST”
ASSESSMENT OF WHETHER LEAKED CLASSIFIED US MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS RELATE TO SINGAPORE
Ms Sylvia Lim (Aljunied): Thank you, Speaker. Two supplementary questions for the Senior Minister of State. To the best of my recollection, this is probably at least the third time where confidential or information shared with the US government has been leaked. I think we know of the earlier Wikileaks episodes and this is theContinue reading “ASSESSMENT OF WHETHER LEAKED CLASSIFIED US MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS RELATE TO SINGAPORE”
ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICE WHERE INSURERS OFFER ADDITIONAL COVERAGE FOR CANCER TREATMENT THROUGH RIDERS
Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis (Sengkang): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Just one supplementary question for the Minister. I understand that the CDL is a positive development for our healthcare system. But at the same time, a lot of the insurers are responding very quickly to this legislation and introducing various riders. I understand from theContinue reading “ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICE WHERE INSURERS OFFER ADDITIONAL COVERAGE FOR CANCER TREATMENT THROUGH RIDERS”
TRIPARTITE GUIDELINE OR STANDARD ON UNEXPECTED CARE LEAVE
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim (Sengkang): I thank Minister of State Gan for her response. I am just wondering if we can push it just a little bit more, because, of course, many of our residents – especially mothers, not just mothers of triplets, but working mothers in general – have struggled with this. So, I wonderContinue reading “TRIPARTITE GUIDELINE OR STANDARD ON UNEXPECTED CARE LEAVE”
BTO FLAT APPLICANTS WHO PURCHASED FLATS AS FIANCÉ AND FIANCÉE BUT DO NOT SUBMIT MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE FOR VERIFICATION
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim (Sengkang): I thank the Minister for the response. I am wondering if you could just elaborate a little bit on the reason why the stipulation that an original member of the application has to be included. I say this because I have had residents that have made a request becauseContinue reading “BTO FLAT APPLICANTS WHO PURCHASED FLATS AS FIANCÉ AND FIANCÉE BUT DO NOT SUBMIT MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE FOR VERIFICATION”
NAMING OF MR LEE HSIEN YANG AND MRS LEE SUET FERN WHEN BEING INVESTIGATED FOR GIVING FALSE EVIDENCE IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS WHILE KEPPEL OFFSHORE & MARINE SENIOR STAFF WERE NOT NAMED
Ms Sylvia Lim (Aljunied): Thank you, Speaker. I have one supplementary question for the Minister to aid understanding of what he said earlier. I think the question was posed to him by Mr Leong about whether the Police had actually issued an order to Mr Lee Hsien Yang and Mrs Lee to attend the interview.Continue reading “NAMING OF MR LEE HSIEN YANG AND MRS LEE SUET FERN WHEN BEING INVESTIGATED FOR GIVING FALSE EVIDENCE IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS WHILE KEPPEL OFFSHORE & MARINE SENIOR STAFF WERE NOT NAMED”
STEPS TAKEN TO ENSURE RECYCLABLES COLLECTED IN GOVERNMENT CAMPAIGNS ARE COMPLETED AND NOT MISUSED
Mr Pritam Singh (Aljunied): Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is directed at Minister. This is pertaining to the Reuters report, which I think, really, was addressing the prospect of greenwashing, at least the concern of greenwashing. I do not really have any objection to the principles behind why this initiative was carried out by SportContinue reading “STEPS TAKEN TO ENSURE RECYCLABLES COLLECTED IN GOVERNMENT CAMPAIGNS ARE COMPLETED AND NOT MISUSED”
ASSESSMENT OF SINGAPORE’S LONG-TERM INFLATION EXPECTATIONS
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim (Sengkang): Just a quick follow-up on the question about inflation expectations. I wonder if the Minister of State can elaborate on whether MAS has observed any evidence of inflation pressures actually passing through to wages, in particular? And if so, what kind of mitigation mechanisms does the MAS have in terms ofContinue reading “ASSESSMENT OF SINGAPORE’S LONG-TERM INFLATION EXPECTATIONS”
RATIONALE FOR ADJUSTING BUYER’S STAMP DUTY RATES FOR HIGHER-VALUE PROPERTIES
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim (Sengkang): Just a quick clarification. I understand the motivation just like the hon Member, but it strikes me that why do we not just give a little bit more buffer on the front end? Perhaps some individuals will game the system? But rather than go through the exhaustive appeal route whichContinue reading “RATIONALE FOR ADJUSTING BUYER’S STAMP DUTY RATES FOR HIGHER-VALUE PROPERTIES”
