Outcomes from MARUAH’s “Post Singapore Budget 2026 Dialogue: Is it Good Enough?”

21 February 2026

On 15 February 2026, MARUAH organized a discussion to examine Budget 2026 through a human rights lens, focusing on adequate living standards, intergenerational equity, social protection, community partnerships, the impact of AI on employment and social sectors and futurescaping National Budgets.

The dialogue was in three parts: identifying of key provisions, critiquing the Budget and Singapore model’s mechanics and generating specific recommendations for consideration, for parliamentarians, policy holders and public. It captures key points made in the process by panelists and audience. It also shares the key questions which we hope can be addressed.

We have also shared this document with Members of Parliament as part of their preparation for the Committee of Supply debates that begin on 24th February.

We hope you will find these useful and look forward to meeting you at our future events.

Thank you.
