The worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, recent train breakdowns, and Singapore’s clampdown on vaping are among the topics that Parliament will address when it sits on Sept 22.

Ahead of the week-long parliamentary debate on the President’s Address, MPs filed 125 questions for answer in Parliament, which included questions on bullying in schools and advanced cyber attacks.

The questions will be addressed by the relevant ministries during the 90 minutes set aside for question time each day, before MPs go on to discuss the issues raised by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam in his Sept 5 speech that laid out the Government's plans and priorities in its new term of office.
