If your child feels uncomfortable, explain to the other adult in a patient tone, she added, then explain to your kid the intention behind the action. That way you can be the bridge between the two generations.

“If money is your main reason for wanting to be a minister, frankly, you are not the person we are looking for,” he added.

Mr Chan was delivering his ministerial statement on the government’s response to the review of salaries for political appointment holders and MPs.

- Why rising US Treasury yields don’t automatically mean higher mortgage rates in Singapore
- How higher borrowing costs for businesses can eventually affect consumers
- What higher interest rates mean for Singapore REIT investors

Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8), he noted that the key change is in the calibration of the consent thresholds for collective sales. He stressed the need avoid the scenario where the collective sale of older developments becomes a fait accompli. He also urged the government to consider further equitable safeguards for the larger minority of non-consenting homeowners, as well as expedite upstream changes to the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act to mitigate the issue of inadequate sinking funds for maintenance and repair.

Law Minister Edwin Tong said this in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8), as he outlined the key features of the Bill. He pointed out that more owners will have to deal with the question of whether it is feasible or sustainable to invest in the maintenance and upkeep of their property. To support renewal, the Bill will recalibrate the consent thresholds for collective sales in older developments with two new tiers. For developments aged 40 to 59 years - a new threshold of 70 per cent, and for those aged 60 years and older - a new threshold of 65 per cent. The second set of amendments will strengthen the safeguards for non-consenting owners in three ways – raise the threshold to initiate a collective sale attempt, reduce the time period that Collective Sale Committees have to obtain signatures to the Collective Sale Agreement from 12 months to six months and extend the restriction period after a failed collective sale attempt from two years to three years. Mr Tong said the two sets of amendments form an integrated package and are meant to be taken together as a whole for balance.

Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8), she urged the government to work with schools and community partners to strengthen fire prevention education in the heartlands, especially in older estates where residents may face more complex risks. This could cover practical topics such as keeping corridors and access routes clear, maintaining household fire safety equipment and charging devices safely. She also sought clarifications on the class licensing regime, leveraging AI for enforcement and audit capacity and addressing the risks of ageing infrastructure.

It introduces new offences - for example, against accredited laboratories that issue false test reports, suppliers who pass off non-compliant products as certified ones and installers who fit products in a way that undermines the safe functioning of a shelter. The SCDF will be able to direct relevant parties to send shelter products for testing or address problems caused by non-compliant products, and enter premises such as a supplier’s warehouse. Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming said that while there have been no non-compliant cases to date, this is an anticipatory move to preserve public safety. Separately, a class licensing regime will be introduced for storage of lower-risk petroleum and flammable materials at construction sites, petrol stations, some laboratories and buildings that store diesel for emergency generators. The Bill also clarifies liability for the obstruction of fire safety measures outside buildings, such as fire engine access roads.

Detailing the key points in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8), he pointed out that there will be inevitable questions on how much more these recommendations will cost the government. For illustrative purposes, they will amount to about S$5 million more annually if the maximum of nine per cent is applied to all political appointment holders, and about S$6.6 million more annually for all MPs. Mr Chan stressed that governing well means making clear-headed decisions for Singapore’s long-term interests which “may be uncomfortable today but necessary for tomorrow”. The review is less about the individuals of today who have already stepped forward to serve but is really about upholding a system that gives Singapore a better chance for the next generation of capable and committed Singaporeans to step forward, said Mr Chan. To give Members some time to consider the key points, he will move a motion for both ministerial statements to be considered by parliament on Sep 10.

So, while the MR4 annual pay benchmark for ministers will rise from S$1.1 million to S$1.8 million, there will be an up to nine per cent one-off adjustment, taking effect from Oct 15, which works out to about S$1.2 million if given in full. Any subsequent changes will be based on individual performance and responsibilities. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced this in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8). He himself will donate his full salary increase to good causes for the next five years. There will also be changes to ministerial grades and salary ranges. Mr Wong said the revised structure will allow more room to differentiate pay according to performance and help bring in people with substantial experience from outside government. Meanwhile, MPs’ monthly allowances will rise from S$13,750 to S$18,500. Mr Wong noted that salary norms for political office holders have remained unchanged for 15 years, even as salaries elsewhere have moved. Acknowledging that political salaries are “an emotive issue”, he explained that it is not just about pay, but whether Singapore can continue to attract the quality of leadership it needs. Future prime ministers must have the best chance of building strong teams, he added.

He will convene a committee to review the safeguards across religious institutions and propose measures to strengthen them. The committee will focus on two areas - whether existing safeguards to protect minors can be further strengthened and how the community can access religious guidance safely. Its findings will be shared with the community, he added.

There is presently no requirement for employers in unregulated sectors to verify the criminal records of employees. However, they may request that prospective employees declare any past offences and take this into consideration in their hiring decision. The government has been considering for some time the possible expansion of the scope of screening to cover more types of roles involving contact with children and young persons, including whether to introduce voluntary screening for unregulated sectors. This could take the form of a certificate-based system. It has to consider areas such as the practicability of such screening requirements and whether employers will be able to handle them. Senior Minister of State for Social and Family Development and Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming, who announced this in reply to parliamentary questions on Tuesday (Sep 8), said more details will be shared when they are ready.

As for its investment in Air India, SIA has been open about it, he said in reply to MP Kenneth Tiong’s question in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8). Addressing Mr Tiong’s suggestion that Singaporeans are somehow paying for the Air India investment, he said SIA is a listed company that funds its investments from its own balance sheet and earnings. He stressed that the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore’s assessment remains that SIA’s ability to serve Singaporeans is not adversely affected. Mr Siow also noted that Mr Tiong had stated online that he strongly rejects the racist and xenophobic comments that have arisen in the public discussion on Air India. But he pointed out that his public rhetoric goes beyond the question that he put before the House - he has posed a narrowly framed technical query on SIA’s capacity to provide essential transport services and insinuated that through SIA's investments, Singaporeans somehow "owe Air India a living". This does not contribute to a healthy climate for companies to make commercial decisions which serve the best interests of Singapore and Singaporeans, said Mr Siow.

The practice is self-regulated through its professional associations, along with laws governing advertising and consumer protection. Where there are allegations of malpractice or negligence causing harm, patients may lodge a complaint with the relevant professional association or pursue civil action.
