Preventive dental care must be prioritised, yet many seek treatment only when they feel pain. I called on MOH in Parliament to expand MediSave for essential dental care, integrate it into Healthier SG and increase public dental service capacity. https://t.co/eljXtNb55G

Getting into a school sports team is tough. I called on MOE in Parliament to expand recreational sports CCAs so more students can play. Elite athletes should also be able to focus on national training while earning LEAPS 2.0 points.

NSFs deserve fairer pay, CPF contributions, better education pathways and training that helps their future careers. I called on MINDEF in Parliament to raise NSF pay to at least $1,600 and make NS a career and education launchpad, not a detour.

More F&B outlets now charge for plain water, nudging people towards sugary drinks. I raised this in Parliament today and urged MSE to encourage free or low-cost drinking water in eateries, malls and coffeeshops. Making hydration easy benefits health, wallets and the environment.

In Parliament on 8 January 2025, I asked why the government did not prohibit the use of NRIC numbers as an authentication factor earlier, despite organisations using them for years. https://t.co/OmFIALw41b

On 7 Jan 2025, I will raise 5 parliamentary questions on key issues:

Data privacy: Protecting NRIC numbers & exploring safer alternatives.
Housing: Supporting public rental tenants amid rent increases.
NS: Balancing ICT obligations with work, ensuring fairness for NSmen.

I filed questions for the Minister for Transport and the Minister for National Development. The answers may be of interest to MCST developments which wish to have sheltered walkways built just outside their property.

Unequal access to AI education could exacerbate existing inequalities, leaving some ill-prepared for an AI-driven world. This is why we need to bridge this gap by making dedicated AI education a fundamental component of the national curriculum.
