Budget 2022 debate: Ng Ling Ling on social mobility amid COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the need for economic transformation and digitalisation. This can have a "considerable" impact on vulnerable groups such as lower-wage and middle-aged workers, persons with disabilities and their families. MP Ng Ling Ling said this in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 1) and noted that many help and support schemes take years to yield their full benefits. She asked how the Government monitors effectiveness and whether it can streamline these programmes so that households get help more holistically.
