JOBS and football, the two issues foremost on the minds of Singaporeans at the moment, will get aired in Parliament next week.
MPs have filed three questions on each subject for Monday's sitting.
Madam Ho Geok Choo (West Coast GRC), Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC) and nominated MP Teo Siong Seng want the House to discuss the recently extended Jobs Credit.
The scheme, which subsidises a company's wage bill, has been extended for another six months till next June, at a stepped-down rate.
Meanwhile, Mr Zainudin Nordin (Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC), Dr Lim Wee Kiak (Sembawang GRC) and Nominated MP Calvin Cheng will raise concerns surrounding the tussle for football broadcasting rights between StarHub and SingTel.
On the $4.5 billion Jobs Credit scheme, MPs want some account of what the money handed out by the Government this year has achieved.
