Few weeks back in Parliament, I raised a question about how we can revitalise Singapore’s nightlife and support the businesses that bring our city to life after dark. I also asked how these efforts could boost local spending, given the importance of a vibrant nightlife scene in attracting both tourists and Singaporeans alike. As our economy continues to evolve post-pandemic, the resilience and growth of our service sectors remain key concerns—especially for our F&B and nightlife establishments that continue to face rising costs and manpower challenges. This was also highlighted recently in ST: https://www.straitstimes.com/life/the-streets-were-full-of-laughter-what-happened-to-clarke-quay-keong-saik-road-and-club-street Some business owners have shared with me their concerns about how shifting consumer behaviours and staffing shortages have impacted operations. In response, the Ministry shared that agencies like STB, Enterprise Singapore and Workforce Singapore are working closely with industry groups like the Singapore Nightlife Business Association to support transformation, promote local experiences, and develop manpower capabilities. I welcomed the assurance that ongoing feedback sessions will be held with nightlife stakeholders to ensure their voices are heard. I will continue to follow up on how these policies translate into tangible improvements for our local businesses and workers. Let’s keep finding ways to inject more vibrancy into our communities while supporting sustainable economic growth for all. #yiochukang #ycksmc #greatyio #sgparliament #supportlocalsg #nightlifesg #singaporenightlife #sgbusiness #smesg #postpandemicrecovery #localtourism #stb #enterprisesg #workforcesg #snba #hospitalitysg #manpowersg #retailsg #hawkersg #fnbsg #supportlocalsg #economicvibrancy #transformationsg #sgbudget #committeeofsupply #urbanvibes #communitybusiness https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1E9WaK6FPH/?mibextid=wwXIfr
