@mothershipsg: Responding to the Workers' Party's (WP) economic motion in Parliament on Aug. 5, Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said that while government support should serve as a springboard for enterprise, it cannot "persevere on the entrepreneur's behalf". Referencing the fictional boxer Rocky Balboa from the Rocky film series, Tan said an entrepreneur is not someone who can throw the punches, but someone who can take the punches, get back up and keep moving forward. #mothershipparliament #singapore #tiktoksg
Eeeerm Rocky jus used its perseverance, a entrepreneur not only need perseverance but also able to visualise a business models and also how to adapt to economic changes. So can Rocky be a entrepreneur 😅😅😅 This guy like to be creative but always not using the right example 😂😂😂

There is a difference between taking punches and trapped within walls. With the cost of living, rent and operations so high in Singapore, entrepreneurs are trapped. Even Rocky cannot punch through thick concrete walls…

"Quoting Rocky makes for a good soundbite, but entrepreneurs don't build businesses on movie speeches. They need access to capital, a fair regulatory environment, affordable operating costs, and a level playing field. Telling struggling business owners to simply 'take the punches' risks sounding disconnected from the realities they face. Resilience is important, but good governance isn't about asking people to endure hardship indefinitely—it's about creating conditions where they have a genuine chance to succeed."

From one perspective, some viewers felt the Rocky reference was out of place because the debate concerned serious issues such as AI, retrenchments and workers’ livelihoods. If someone expected a more formal tone, they might see a movie quote as trivializing the discussion.
