Govt to continue studying options on population issues: DPM Teo

SMU Assistant Professor of Law and NMP Eugene Tan asked Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean in Parliament how the government was planning to get Singaporeans' buy-in for the Population White Paper and land use plan. Assistant Prof Tan also asked whether the government will provide regular updates on its progress in addressing Singapore's demographic challenge. DPM Teo responded: "We will continue to study options and engage Singaporeans on population and its related issues on multiple fronts, including through Our Singapore Conversation and other forums. As we continue to engage Singaporeans and work together on policies, address and overcome the specific and practical problems we face and deliver programmes to benefit Singaporeans, we hope to strengthen trust and consensus among Singaporeans on the future that we must build together.”
