Speech by Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang, MP for Nee Soon GRC, on the Motion on Singapore Women’s Development Introduction I thank the Government for its work on the White Paper on Singapore Women’s Development. The White Paper is a firm commitment to the women of Singapore. I am especially heartened by its support for key issues like equal workplace opportunities, caregiver support and protection against violence, which have been championed by activists and women for many years.....
Mdm Speaker, I would like to thank all ministries and staff who have worked very hard on the White Paper, distilling the many diverse voices gathered into these recommendations throughout the past year even though the pandemic has brought challenges.
