The 15th Parliament of Singapore opened on Friday, 5 September with the swearing-in of 97 elected Members of Parliament and two Non-Constituency MPs, including a record number of women and 32 first-time MPs. President Tharman Shanmugaratnam’s address laid out the Government’s priorities for the term, touching on keeping social mobility alive, strengthening unity, adapting to a shifting global order, and ensuring inclusive growth amid economic headwinds. So what do these priorities mean for jobs, wages, and opportunities? How will they shape the way Singapore navigates global uncertainty and domestic concerns in the years ahead?

Joining the Breakfast Show is Dr. Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at Singapore Management University, to unpack the signals, challenges, and opportunities from this new parliamentary term.
