Budget 2025 debate: Ng Ling Ling on support for working adults, young families and caring for seniors
What are the job placement support for participants who complete the Workfare Skills Support (WSS) Scheme courses and for those who are still struggling with “lower-wage tough jobs” even if they aspire for better jobs through the WSS training? MP Ng Ling Ling raised this question in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 26). She also asked if the government could track and publish more granular employment data to track the job retention and progression of persons with disabilities and ex-offenders so that employment schemes for them can be improved continually. On long-term care costs for seniors, she recommended increasing the lifetime withdrawal limit for seniors with limited MediSave savings when utilising a family member's MediSave. She also proposed reviewing the daily MediSave withdrawal limits for palliative care and specialised care to ensure they remain aligned with rising healthcare costs.
