Saying the rationale for the 2016 move was unclear, he asked how the government will measure the success of this merger compared to that separation. Mr Giam suggested the following key performance indicators as a starting framework to ensure better accountability – first, the proportion of public training subsidies going to courses that yield documented employment outcomes within six months; second, the percentage of subsidised training enrolments in courses mapped to documented Shortage Occupation List occupations; third, median time to employment following SWDA-assisted job searches.</p>

It is ensuring that training leads to jobs, jobs lead to wage growth and transformation produces gains that are shared with workers. Making this point in parliament on Tuesday (May 5), MP Yeo Wan Ling said that is the gap the Skills and Workforce Development Agency Bill is designed to close. She called for the new Skills and Workforce Development Agency to ensure that workforce and company transformation are inclusive, practical and human-centred, through regular ongoing engagement with stakeholders.</p>

It is a merger of SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and Workforce Singapore (WSG) into a new statutory board, jointly overseen by the Ministries of Education and Manpower. Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said the impetus for the move is three-fold - unprecedented technological advances, geopolitical shocks reshaping the global economy and the relentless pace of demographic change in Singapore. Dr Tan said the SWDA will build up a comprehensive offering of tools, services and programmes to help workers take purposeful action to stay adaptable through different stages of their lives. It will better support employers in recruitment, training and workforce transformation. It will also strengthen the ecosystem of career and employment service providers. This work has already begun, Dr Tan noted, with nine pilots underway to test innovative models targeting underserved groups. He spoke in parliament on Tuesday (May 5).</p>

For example, noting that Malaysian officers will have immunity for actions taken in discharging their duties, he asked how people will determine if a line has been crossed and what practical recourse is available if things go wrong. He asked if the government would consider a “dedicated liaison mechanism” to help Singaporeans and international visitors navigate cross-border issues. He also asked if Singapore can investigate and take action if offences such as bribery or misconduct occur within Malaysia-designated areas on its soil. Such areas must not become legal gray zones, Mr Yip said. He spoke in parliament on Tuesday (May 5).</p>

Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (May 5), she stressed the need for processes to be consistent, checks to be carried out with diligence, and information to be handled securely and responsibly. She wanted to know how the specific choices in the framework were made for Singapore and Malaysia. </p>

If done well, it would not only ease congestion and improve the lives of Singaporeans and Malaysians, but also strengthen the close economic and social ties between both sides, he said. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (May 5), he sought clarifications on a few points. One of them relates to the purpose of allowing Malaysian border controls to be applied within Singapore. He asked why it is necessary for such a move. Turning to the extent of powers that Malaysian officers may exercise, he wanted to know how the government would ensure accountability and oversight for actions taken by foreign officers operating in Singapore. </p>

A bill put up for debate in parliament on Tuesday (May 5) is a key supporting pillar of this link, said Second Minister for Home Affairs Edwin Tong. It gives effect to a comprehensive set of arrangements that facilitate co-location of customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities at stations on both ends, as well as jointly developed protocols for coordinated management of railway security and cross-border incidents. This will help ensure a seamless and safe journey for travellers, Mr Tong said. A key feature is that travellers will have to clear immigration only once, before boarding the train. The bill’s provisions include circumscribing the areas in Singapore within which Malaysian officers can perform their CIQ duties, empowering the Home Affairs Minister to approve which Malaysian officers can be deployed in Singapore and ensuring that Singapore officers deployed to Malaysia can safeguard Singapore’s borders effectively. Singapore and Malaysia have also agreed that if an offence is committed on a moving train, the destination country will have primary right to exercise jurisdiction.</p>

Mr Tan said Assoc Prof Lim had made “a clear inference that the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) had not conducted its investigation on (the pet owner’s) complaints fairly, effectively and independently”. Mr Tan said having checked on the case, he found that Assoc Prof Lim knew that AVS had investigated the incident and found no negligence or misconduct by the vet, and had suggested that the pet owner consider pursuing a civil case. Mr Tan said MPs must be careful when putting out facts and making allegations against public officers, to be fair to them and uphold public trust and confidence in Singapore’s institutions.</p>

Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How, who said this in reply to parliamentary questions on Tuesday (May 5), stressed the need to understand the advances in capabilities enabled by Mythos to be part of a continuum. The issue is not any single model like Mythos, he said. The underlying shift is broader, the risks are real and the government is treating them with the seriousness they deserve, he added.</p>

The aim is to recruit 624 families, after a similar and smaller study was done. Thereafter, policymakers and practitioners will look at the research and potentially carve out actionable programmes across the island. Professor Anne Rifkin-Graboi from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at NUS, and lead researcher of the LOVING study, gives more analysis on what the study achieved and what &quot;sensitive caregiving&quot; means and how it differs from current practices. She also talks about why the study targets median- to lower-income families, and other parenting challenges, as well as how the study could shape future policies and parenting programmes. </p>
