A heated debate unfolded in Parliament on Wednesday (5 Feb) between Progress Singapore Party’s (PSP) Leong Mun Wai and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah.
The seven-hour session, triggered by a motion on supporting families and promoting parenthood, saw Leong challenge the government’s strategies for addressing Singapore’s declining fertility rate.
The motion was tabled by People’s Action Party Members of Parliament Hany Soh (PAP-Marsiling-Yew Tee) and Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim (PAP-Chua Chu Kang), calling for a continued review and updating of family-related policies.
