  1. It is challenging to decide what is good for society because individuals have different needs and interests and it is not possible to meet all of them.
  2. Since Singapore is a representative democracy, the government has the political legitimacy to make decisions on behalf of the people.
  3. In making decisions for the good of society, the Singapore government is guided by a set of principles in their policy discussions and decisions.
  4. Our country faces constraints such as a small land area and limited financial resources, hence decisions taken by the government often stem from a series of trade-offs that need to be made.
