In parliament on Wednesday (Feb 26), MP Joan Pereira made several “actionable recommendations” to help Singapore’s "sandwich generation" cope with the pressures of daily life. She called for more caregiver support beyond tax reliefs, a targeted transportation subsidy scheme for middle-income families and more effort to create a comfortable living environment for all, such as by ensuring that the property tax regime is equitable and extending senior-friendly upgrading work to all private estates.
