Mr Wong said in a TikTok video on Feb 10 that the Government will also update its policies based on feedback and ideas given in the Forward Singapore exercise, which aims to “review and refresh Singapore’s social compact”.
The plans will be announced in the Budget statement.
Mr Wong launched Forward Singapore in June 2022 shortly after he took on the role of Deputy Prime Minister. He is the overall lead for the year-long exercise.
Forward Singapore is organised along six pillars – economy and jobs, education and lifelong learning, health and social support, home and living environment, environmental and fiscal sustainability, and the Singapore identity – each led by 4G leaders.
The Government has engaged more than 14,000 Singaporeans across 140 sessions held online and in neighbourhoods and schools, as part of the Forward Singapore exercise.
Tuesday’s Budget statement will be broadcast live on Channel 5, CNA, CNA938, Capital 958, CNA website, CNA YouTube, CNA Facebook, 8 World News, 8 World News YouTube, 8 World News Facebook and on MediaCorp’s meWATCH.
