Through innovative, fun and meaningful sporting experiences, our mission is to reach out and serve communities across Singapore with passion and pride. 01 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE I have been part of the Sporting Singapore journey for six years now. As a Board Member and now Chairman of Sport Singapore, I have seen how sport has helped Singaporeans live more fulfilling lives, forge new friendships and strengthen existing ones. More importantly, I saw how sport can be a force for good as epitomised by through kin-ball. The weekly kin-ball try-out sessions our volunteers, athletes and people, are conducted by seven Team Nila volunteers and two to enable other Singaporeans to live ActiveSG Sport Champions from Pasir Ris Sport Centre, who take the opportunity to inculcate the core values better— moving us closer to becoming of respect, teamwork and inclusivity to participants. The a caring people, a cohesive society initiative also included outreach and engagement events and a confident nation. such as at the Pasir Ris-Punggol Walk which drew close to 1,400 participants in 2018. This arrangement is a big change from the usual volunteering opportunities available to Team Nila and we hope that it will enrich their experience. Team Singapore Gives Back Team Singapore athletes brought home a commendable haul of 32 medals at the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

  • CRC/C/SGP/4-5 Convention on the Rights of the Child
    United Nations CRC/C/SGP/4-5 Convention on the Distr.: General Rights of the Child 3 November 2017 Original: English Committee on the Rights of the Child Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under Article 44 of the Convention Fourth and fifth periodic reports of States parties due in 2017 Singapore 1 FOREWORD Every child is precious, and deserves to grow up in a safe and loving environment. Singapore is committed to protecting and promoting the wellbeing of our children. Since our independence in 1965, Singapore has continually refined its policies to better meet the needs of our children. We are pleased to report our efforts since the last report in 2009. Singapore has strengthened legislation, systems and policies to improve protection for our children. We amended three pieces of legislation to do so: the Children and Young Persons Act to enhance the welfare and care of children, and the Women’s Charter and the Administration of Muslim Law Act to better support children from divorced families. In 2014, Singapore also established the Family Justice Courts, which takes the best interests of the child into account in familial disputes. We have increased our support for families with young children. We enhanced the Child Development Co-Savings Act in 2016 to provide more financial support for child-raising and improve leave schemes to enable working parents to manage both work and family responsibilities. We also provided assurance to parents with young children on the accessibility, affordability and quality of early childhood services. These measures reflect the commitment of the Singapore Government to give every child a good start in life, regardless of their background.
