Executive Council spokesman Leong Heng Teng said yesterday that the government has drafted a bill regulating the city’s arbitration procedures, which aims to encourage residents to choose arbitration as an alternative means of dispute resolution.
Addressing a press conference at Government Headquarters, Leong said that the council, the government’s top advisory body, has completed its discussion of the bill, which is to replace the city’s current rules on the arbitration process.
The bill is now slated to be submitted to the Legislative Assembly (AL) for debate and vote.
