The Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (Amendment) Bill seeks to amend regulations regarding disqualification from serving as a Member of Parliament, President, or in advisory councils due to criminal convictions. The amendments raise the threshold for disqualification based on fines from $2,000 to $10,000 and expand disqualifying convictions to include those from foreign courts, provided the crime would also be punishable in Singapore. It specifies that prior convictions will be affected by these changes, allowing some individuals previously disqualified to serve again. The bill consists of various amendments across articles in the Constitution to implement these changes. No additional public money will be required for this bill.
