Ng Shi Xuan on Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill
The Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill closes a gap in Singapore’s energy efficiency framework, said MP Ng Shi Xuan. While regulating local supply has been effective, global procurement channels allow individuals and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access non-compliant goods directly, he said. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Apr 7), he stressed the need to ensure clarity on who bears responsibility and how the standards can be met, as well as ensure adequate support for SMEs in compliance and take a calibrated approach to enforcement and compliance. He also sought clarifications on the proposed amendments, including the feedback that went into shaping the proposed changes and how the new laws would be enforced. *Audio issues inherent from source
