The PAP Policy Forum just finished one cycle of policy dialogues. The time, we had a dialogue with Minister Jeffrey Siow on transport issues, and the questions came fast and furious! Thanks to the Minister for coming early and staying late to engage more than 200 activists and friends of the PAP.

We are planning for the next year. Stay tuned for the next one!

What was heartening was that our activists raised issues not only about what they heard on the ground, but also what they thought was on the best interest of Singapore.

Dear residents,

Please note that there will be no in-person Meet-the-People session (MPS) on 9 November 2026, as it falls on the public holiday in lieu of Deepavali.

Residents can continue to reach us via our Digital Service by scanning the QR code.

Happy Deepavali!

Yours Sincerely
Shawn Loh &
PAP Whampoa

The castle awaited, and I decided to venture in… but I’m not sure I was quite prepared for what was lurking inside! 👀🏰👻

Had a spooktacular time at Kallang CC, where our residents took on the haunted house, spooky games and Halloween activities. I went in to experience the haunted house myself, and let’s just say the scares were very real! 😂

It was wonderful seeing everyone coming together, from the creative costumes to the screams and laughter throughout the evening.

A big thank you to our organising team, volunteers and everyone who joined us in making such a memorable experience.

🪔✨ Deepavali is just around the corner!

I was deeply honoured to be invited to the Singapore Indian Association’s Deepavali Light-Up celebration! The Singapore Indian Association has been a supportive partner and a good neighbour at Balestier Road.

Beyond the beautiful lights and colourful festivities, what makes Singapore truly special is how people of different races, religions and cultures live harmoniously together, celebrating and embracing one another’s traditions. 🇸🇬

It is this mutual respect, understanding and friendship that strengthen our multicultural society.

Wishing everyone a joyous and meaningful Deepavali!

In Parliament last month, I asked questions on medium-term fiscal projections, economic concentration risks, digital safety in livestreams, and consumer protection. The ministries have responded.

On public finances, M*F will publish updated medium-term fiscal projections extended to 2035 in the second half of next year, factoring in updated revenue expectations, spending plans, and scenarios on global minimum tax rules.

On economic structure, MTI noted that Singapore’s economy remains diversified, with services accounting for around 70% of GDP in 2025 and manufacturing at 18.5%. With recent growth proving broad-based, MTI continues to monitor potential concentration risks closely.

On digital safety and fair trading, HSA removed 2,358 illegal health product listings in 2025 and is strengthening detection frameworks for livestreams. Where live broadcasts facilitate e-commerce scams, enforcement under the Online Criminal Harms Act 2023 can require platforms to verify high-risk sellers against official Government records. Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003, false claims and undue pressure during livestreams are prohibited, with CASE assisting consumers and CCCS ready to act against egregious practices.

Another month, another 4 weeks of Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS)! 💪

I’m proud to share that our pool of volunteers has doubled in size, with more younger residents stepping forward to serve our community! ❤️

We continue to welcome everyone, regardless of age, background or where you come from. Whether you’re young or young at heart, there’s always a place for you! 😄

Grateful to be working alongside such a dedicated team, and even more grateful for the opportunity to serve the Whampoa-Boon Keng community.

Together, we serve. Together, we grow! 🇸🇬

As the incoming vice-chairman of the committee to promote Chinese language learning, I had the chance to engage more than 100 enthusiastic secondary school students in a mock press conference in Mandarin, organised by MediaCorp. These students had just finished their end of year exams and chose to spend a full Saturday with MediaCorp, engaging with senior journalists and media professionals. The number of students who signed up was at an all-time high! I hope some of them develop their interest in media and journalism, which has become even more important in this AI-era.

作为推广华文学习委员会候任副主席, 我参与了《我来报新闻》媒体营的模拟记者会，回答学生的提问，并亲身感受制作新闻视频的过程。在这个AI时代,我们的专业媒体记者越来越重要。如果这些学生是我们未来的记者，我会很开心，他们的程度真的很高！

I was happy to join our residents for One Community Fiesta - Passport to Fun where both our new citizens and long-time residents came together for a day of fun, friendship and connection.

With passports and boarding passes setting the theme, everyone got to embark on their own little journey through the various activities and games. Beyond the fun, what made the occasion special was seeing residents from different backgrounds come together, share their stories and get to know one another.

Whether you’ve called Singapore home for generations or have only recently begun your journey here, we all have a part to play in making our community a welcoming place for everyone.

After all, it doesn’t matter where our journeys began. What matters is that we continue moving forward together, as one community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this a memorable fiesta. Here’s to many more shared journeys ahead!

🏸 A smashing good time at our Whampoa Boon Keng Badminton Fiesta! 🎉

Great to see our young residents coming together for a fun-filled day of badminton!

From learning basic strokes to agility and conditioning exercises, our young participants developed their skills, built teamwork and confidence, and made new friends along the way! 💪😊

A big thank you to all the participants, parents and everyone who made this event possible!

Not many MPs speak on MAS legislation that is tabled in parliament and there isn't much media coverage. But I try to weigh in where I can.

When our banking system runs into trouble, private owners of debt and equity should step in before the taxpayer does.

Under the Financial Services and Markets (Amendment) Bill, MAS will have the authority to impose Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) requirements on our systemically important banks. In simple terms, this means a bail-in from private investors first rather than a bail-out from public funds.

However, building these financial buffers comes with trade-offs. Higher borrowing costs for banks could filter down into higher lending rates for businesses on the ground, particularly our small and medium enterprises. In regional markets where competitor banks may operate under looser requirements, excessive mandates could also hurt our homegrown institutions.

To prevent our institutions from being disadvantaged, calibrated implementation is crucial. The five-year transition period and the decision not to introduce a separate leverage-based requirement are sensible steps that give our banks the time they need to adapt.

This is part one of two from my speech, and you can catch the second part in my upcoming post.
