A team of 30 individuals ranging from age 19 to over 70 are being tapped by first-term Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Neo Kok Beng to discuss and raise concerns about issues related to the economy and society. Most other NMPs like SMU Associate Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Kenneth Goh, who is also the President of Singapore Aquatics and a former national athlete, rely on their own existing networks to gather feedback. Issues he raised during the recent Parliament sittings, including on entrepreneurs and land usage, were the result of accumulated feedback from various roles. One proposal he made during the debate on the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth’s (MCCY) budget was for an SG Sport Pass, similar to the SG Culture Pass, for Singaporeans to attend accredited sports programmes. Assoc Prof Goh believes that this idea, which came as a result of hearing feedback from the sporting community over the years, would give more people access to good-quality training, and also help to enhance the skills of private coaches
