PM Lawrence Wong responds to Indonesia’s move to reduce gas exports to Singapore | PAP Conference

People’s Action Party secretary general and Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong spoke about the country's energy needs at the PAP Conference on Sunday (Oct 25), noting that Indonesia announced cuts to its gas exports to Singapore the day before. “The gas supplies are covered by commercial contracts. We expect all parties to honour their commitments and Singapore’s gas importer will take the necessary steps to protect its rights and interests under these contracts. At the same time, we have been preparing for such risks,” he said. He also reiterated Singapore’s study of nuclear energy options. “Understandably there are concerns about the safety of nuclear power in a small and densely populated country like Singapore. We take the concerns seriously. Safety must come first. But we should not rule out an option simply because it is difficult or controversial,” he said. “We must assess the risks and trade-offs carefully, engage Singaporeans and make the right decision to secure our energy future.” Read more: https://cna.asia/47EpfAk Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
