Supporting Singaporeans in starting and raising families

In his speech on the motion on supporting Singaporeans in starting and raising families, MP Louis Chua emphasised the need to move beyond incremental policy changes to address Singapore’s record-low fertility rate. Drawing from personal experience as a father, he called for enshrining into law the right to request flexible work arrangements, expanding childcare leave, and rethinking family support policies to champion parenthood.

Supporting Singaporeans in starting and raising families (Malay speech)

Speaking on the family motion, MP Faisal Manap emphasised that families are the foundation of society and called for stronger support to address the challenges faced by vulnerable groups. He highlighted the struggles of individuals undergoing divorce who face housing uncertainties and urged for a more flexible HDB Public Rental Scheme (PRS) policy, in particular, granting “in-principle approvals” for a rental unit before divorce proceedings are finalised. He also raised concerns about Singaporeans with foreign spouses who face repeated rejections for Long-Term Visit Passes, advocating for a more compassionate, case-by-case assessment to ease their family hardships and strengthen family bonds.

Maintenance of Racial Harmony Bill and Constitution Amendment Bill

MP Sylvia Lim explains the Workers’ Party’s support for the wider objectives of managing race relations, and why we voted in support of the Maintenance of Racial Harmony Bill, notwithstanding the clarifications we raised. However, the WP cannot support the Constitution Amendment Bill, given that we are not supportive of the provisions dealing with the Elected President’s discretion.
