Equitable growth, enhanced protections and engaged workforce - these are the “3 Es” that must guide Singapore in the way forward, said MP Patrick Tay.

Speaking in parliament on Wednesday , he pointed out that the impact of AI on the broad middle means that it is a “once in a generation technology”.
