The 15th Parliament of Singapore is scheduled to hold its first session on September 5 at 5pm, where all newly elected Members of Parliament (MPs) will take their oaths. The session will commence with the election of the Speaker of Parliament and the swearing-in of MPs, as announced by Leader of the House Indranee Rajah on June 13. The current Speaker, Mr Seah Kian Peng, represents Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.

During the session, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam will deliver an opening address detailing the Government's priorities, policies, and programs. Subsequently, there will be a debate on the President's Address from September 22 to 26. According to Ms Indranee, the President's Address is crucial as it will outline strategies and key policies to navigate Singapore through the current challenging geopolitical landscape and economic uncertainties.

At the opening of the 14th Parliament following the 2020 General Election, former President Halimah Yacob emphasized the need for Singapore to adapt to changing circumstances by reassessing fundamental aspects of society, such as meritocracy, multiracialism, and political practices.
