    "content": "Thank you, Temporary Speaker, Sir. Probably I was the one in a rush. I will take a few minutes to wind up my contribution. This is a good Bill, we should have passed it way back. We could have passed it if we had done the right thing in terms of consultation and stakeholder engagement. I am praying that as we process this Bill, we will learn from the mistakes of the past efforts and make sure that we do proper stakeholder engagement and consultations. We have about 130,000 workers under various schemes. This is a huge population that we must give hope to. The demographics of these workers is that many of them are about to retire. Soon, this fund will be expected to pay out benefits to these members. Therefore, we need to get it right. I support the Bill and when it comes for the Third Reading, we will be able to make the amendments that will have originated from the stakeholder engagement. Thank you."
