Choo Pei Ling on CareShield Life and Long-Term Care (Amendment) Bill
CareShield Life will play an increasingly vital role in Singapore’s social safety net as the country joins the ranks of super-aged societies, said MP Choo Pei Ling. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Oct 15), she said the proposed changes demonstrate Singapore’s commitment to make CareShield Life financially sustainable and people-centric in its delivery. She stressed the need to continue to review the scheme periodically to ensure that it serves the people expediently and compassionately in their time of need. She also sought clarifications on the bill. She wanted to know how the government would ensure that premiums remain affordable and how it would make the scheme more claimant-friendly.
