On Student Care:
"In last year’s COS, the Minister announced that the public can expect another 40 student care centres {SCC). While this is welcomed, I believe the Ministry can do more to push for at least 1 student care centre in every school. I would like to call upon the Ministry to place greater emphasis on this." - Lee Li Lian （李丽连）

On the Fight against ISIS:
"I would like to ask Minister whether the Government will seek to contribute to this international effort in areas where Singapore has specific value-add capabilities, for example, religious rehabilitation training, as a more unique contribution, apart from hardware and analytical capabilities that can also be contributed by other allies." - Pritam Singh

On Internships:
"I hope to see internship funding support for companies that take in a minimum number of interns a year so that they can dedicate resources to make internship rigorous, akin to a sort of apprenticeship programme. I also hope there can be close coordination between companies and supervisors in schools so that projects will be useful to companies while the internship experience will result in the learning required by the school. Where possible, we can also bring in the expertise of industry associations to help plan and validate internship programmes." - Yee Jenn Jong, JJ (余振忠)

On Integrated Schools:
"I had previously outlined broad ideas on how we can start with, say eight of such (primary to secondary through-train) schools distributed throughout Singapore, and exclude all top schools from being part of such a pilot. I had called for this to be implemented gradually and on a pilot basis because the majority of Singaporeans may not yet understand how an education system can work without the PSLE. Nevertheless, I am convinced there is a sizeable minority who will be prepared to have their children go through 10 years of education in the same school, even if it means their children will find it difficult to enter the existing top schools without the PSLE." - Yee Jenn Jong, JJ (余振忠)

On Gifted Education:
"There are many forms of giftedness, not just in language, science and math. Some are gifted in the arts or sports. The current definition of GEP is narrow. We can encourage all schools to have various forms of deep specialised enrichment engagement. Where we need scale, we can tap on the schools cluster system or work through existing institutions with strong expertise in science, arts or sports. And for the very rare pupil with extreme giftedness who would even find the current GEP unengaging, we can tap on our universities." - Yee Jenn Jong, JJ (余振忠)

On Mother Tongue Exemptions:
"Has MOE examined the reasons why there are wide variations in MTL exemptions across schools? Has MOE or the principal of schools with high exemptions sought to interview applicants to probe further into the reasons for seeking MTL exemptions? Seeking exemption based on medical reasons is costly. Is there a strong correlation between MTL exemptions and the socio-economic status of parents?" - Yee Jenn Jong, JJ (余振忠)

On Sports Co-curricular Activities:
"I wish to suggest how we can add to schools’ efforts to provide more sports engagements for students:
1. Introduce more fun competitions for sports within schools
2. Introduce the concept of a minor CCA where students who want regular exposure to various sports can sign up for as a second or even third CCA. ...

On Encouraging Internationalisation:
"We can improve our ecosystem to enable our future world champs. We should encourage more companies to use IFS (Internationalisation Finance Scheme) now that it can be used for M&A. The number of companies getting IE-administered grants for cross-border M&A has been increasing but is still small at 32 last year.
To encourage strong development of our brands overseas, can we have a lower tax rate for IP-related income from abroad instead of the usual 17% for corporate tax?" - Yee Jenn Jong

On CPF Retirement Account:

On CPF and Senior Citizens:
"Older CPF members should be accorded flexibility in the use of their Medisave for outpatient treatments. Asking them to tap into their children’s Medisave to continue their treatments is like asking them to borrow from the future generation to pay for the current generation. This option should be used only as a last resort when the Medisave account of the older member is depleted. Otherwise the cycle will play itself out again when the younger generation ages with insufficient savings left in their Medisave accounts as a result. I call for the limit on the use of Medisave for outpatient treatments to be lifted completely for senior citizens aged 75 and above." - PNG ENG HUAT

On the Effectiveness of Jobs Bank:
"The Jobs Bank portal was launched in July 2014. It now boasts of thousands of jobs postings, registered employers and Singaporean jobseekers. However, none of these point to its effectiveness in meeting the objective of ensuring that Singaporeans are fairly considered for jobs before firms hire foreigners. This is a key plank of the Fair Consideration Framework." - Gerald Giam
