  • A. INTRODUCTION 1. Mr Speaker, Sir, I Thank All Members for Their Views and Suggestions. I Have Listened Closely to All of Them
    A. INTRODUCTION 1. Mr Speaker, Sir, I thank all members for their views and suggestions. I have listened closely to all of them, on a few occasions when I have had to take a biological break, I have made sure I read all the transcripts and I will address in my round up all the key issues that pertain to the Budget. 2. But there are many other issues that the members have raised which should be taken up by the respective Ministers in their COS. a. Issues concerning marriage and parenthood, specific policies concerning the environment, the elderly, the disabled, policies concerning the arts and sports, measures to help youth and families at-risk. It has been a rich debate and I am sure my colleagues will take into account not just what will be said during the COS cuts but also what has been said during the Budget Debate itself. Summary of key issues 3. The key issues that I want to address during my round up are basically four: a. First, whether we have adopted the right strategies to boost productivity.; b. Second, how we can keep social mobility going and uplift lower- income Singaporeans; c. Third, how we are addressing the issue of rising cost of living and in particular whether we should we cut the GST; d. And finally, how do we sustain a progressive fiscal system whilst meeting future expenditure needs. 4. Let me address each of four issues in turn. B. RAISING PRODUCTIVITY 1 5. DPM Teo has provided an overview of our strategies to boost productivity, including what‟s already been rolled out, including many examples of how businesses are in fact taking advantage of our schemes.

  • Eleventh Parliament of Singapore (Second Session) Written Answers to Questions for Oral Answer Not Answered By
    ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF SINGAPORE (SECOND SESSION) _________________ WRITTEN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWER NOT ANSWERED BY 3.00 PM MONDAY, 19 OCTOBER 2009 6 80 SCHOOL CHILDREN AS RUNNERS FOR LOAN SHARKS *23. Er Lee Bee Wah: To ask the Minister for Education (a) what action is the Ministry taking to prevent school children from being lured into working as runners for loan sharks; and (b) how many students have been caught for such activities in the past 12 months. Dr Ng Eng Hen: Police data indicate that from 1 Oct 2008 to 30 Sep 2009, 136 youths were arrested for loanshark and related harassment activities, of which almost half were students. Ultimately, parents are primary caregivers of their children. They must take responsibility to monitor the after-school activities of their children and know who their children are interacting with so as to provide timely guidance to their children. The reasons for school children being lured into working for such activities are complex. Even as we reiterate the responsibility of parents to mould their children’s character, schools can play a complementary reinforcing role in this respect. Schools raise awareness of their students to illegal activities through the formal curriculum and a variety of character development and life-skills programmes, in order to teach them to discern right from wrong. The actions taken by schools include counselling and support, and as a last resort, disciplinary actions. Schools also engage the parents and community to work in partnership in nurturing our young holistically. Schools have adopted a variety of strategies to facilitate communication with parents and keep them informed about the needs of their children.
